(no subject)
I've got two things to rant about today.
1. I've been seeing the TV spots of the new, "Team America, World Police" movie comin out from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It go me thinking about my interpretation of how the rest of the world sees us. We're bombarded with images of our country being the leader of all others, the better of the two, the silencer of conflicts. Conflicts... right. I can't believe the Korean War is officially called, the Korean conflict. Or rather, a policing action... in Korea. That's what we are. Police. That's what America is, we're all fucking pigs, the popo, the fuzz, the law. Everyone knows we're there, and they all resent us except for all those weird squares and old fuckers you'd never be caught dead with in public. I mean, sure you acknowledge we're sort of doin the right thing we're liberating people, but at the end of the day, its all for the money. And that shit pisses me off. I hate this whole phantom puppet-master Imperialistic bullshit goin on. Either we need to back the fuck up outta other country's grills, or conquer all the fuckers. Shit, or get off the pot.
2. Ok, I don't know if anyone else has seen the commercial for this product, but I've seen it several times. It never ceases to further boggle my mind. Here's the concept: You come home from a hard day's work, slip off your shoes, dim the lights, get a nice book, and start reading. But wait! Your place smells like shit, and you can't concentrate with all the fucking stink. Well shit, get some air freshener. OH FUCK! better idea! how bout a bunch of scents, like, all together. WAIT! The weed is making it perfectly clear now, the scents are released over time... like, every half hour. It can be like... a story! Yeah.. good stuff. I'm a fucking genius, man. You got it people: 'Scent Stories.'
The mind reels. What the FUCK S.C. Johnson? You had better change your slogan. You're not a family company, no, you're not. You're a RETARDED company. You need to get a nice little bib to sop up your drool, cuz you just spent millions of dollars producing and marketing a 'smell player.' That's all it fucking does, they even say it in the goddamn commercial, "Just press play." Who in their right goddamn mind would spend money on something that releases several different odors at 30 minute intervals. WHO?! Have we all gone insane?! It's goddamned madness!
I mean the only theory I've come up with is that the CEO is porkin some stupid chick (be it a wife or mistress) that comes up with this half-baked, ridiculous idea, and to appease the lady that sleeps with his old wrinkly ass, he green-lights it. I truly can't think of anything else. I see NO practical use. It amazes me that not enough people in some board room or focus group didn't say, "What the fuck is this bullshit? I only need one scent pal, not stink okay?"
This has literally diminished my hope in the human race as a whole. We're all fucked. That's all.
Have a nice day. =)
