WOMEN!

WOMEN! Every female on this earth is lying, terrible excuse for a human being. Even my mother. See, I don't know if I have extra-perceptory senses when it comes to reading women, but I seem to be able to read what they're trying to do or say. See, I don't understand it one bit. But I'm able to perceive it. With my ex-girlfriend, I always told her she didn't mean what she said or that she wasn't fooling me by telling me some lie. I can't remember how many times I said to her, in some sense of the phrase, "Stop being such a woman." The thing is, I always know how a relationship will end. It ends. I try to make them work, but they won't. They never do. Look at the divorce rate. Look at all the single parents. It's not very appealing. I'm STILL going through shit with my ex-girlfriend, three months later. The sex isn't worth dealing with all the problems a woman brings to the table. They never say what they mean, they never do what they say, and they never say what they're going to do. It's like you go in a circle. But it's some fucked up, ovular circle shaped like a amoeba. See, my view of women has been destroyed because all of my relationships have ended badly. Maybe I should just learn to be gay, then the Westboro Baptist Church could hate me. Maybe gay guys have found a loophole in the whole relationship but...well gay guys are kinda flippy and annoying, maybe they're just as bad. I don't plan on finding out the hard way though. Well, getting back on track, the thing is, women are the epitome of the phrase "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em". I know I'll be in another relationship someday. Hell, there's like three girls I have my eye on right now. I'm inevitably going to play the game once again. I'll lose at some point. But thing is, you can't go in with a defeatist attitude. IF you basically go into a relationship and say "there's no way this is gonna work", it will just go to shit faster. You have to put that thought into the back of your mind and just dive headfirst off the perpetual cliff into it. You'll hit the ground eventually. But just close your eyes and enjoy the ride, even though in the back of your mind you know it'll come crashing down.

Give Me Respect

I've been working at Subway for three and a half years now, and I can say almost nothing has changed. Our customers are still the most rude, ignorant people you will ever meet. I'm not saying that our customers are the worst of all, I'm talking about food/customer service in general. When you're helping people, a majority of the time, they don't even treat you like a human being. They're there to get their food and leave. People skills have become a thing of the past. Customers won't look me in the eye when they order. They don't respond to my greetings, nor do they give me one. They won't tolerate simple mistakes. They lack common sense. Tips are a rarity. If people that came in treated everybody like they treat me, they would have no one that would ever want to speak to them. And by the looks of the people that come into Subway, that fact seems like it's true. Even when I'm in a bad mood (a lot of the time), I still act nicely to my customers, partially not to lose my job, and partially to hopefully up the mood and not stay down in the catacombs. When I come out from the back and nicely greet somebody and they completely ignore, or even interrupt my hello, it ruins the vibe for the remainder of my customer's order. I am a human being. As are all of my coworkers, and all of America's workers. People should treat us that way. Those who take part in our abuse are cowards. They know that we can't retaliate because we'd lose our job. They take advantage of that by treating us like shit to take out their frustrations and mask their own problems. The people that come in and smile, have a conversation with me, laugh at and make jokes, those are people that are confident with themselves. This actually comes into conflict with my previous blog about how i hate fat and unkempt people. If a fat guy comes in and gets a footlong tuna sub with extra cheese, it bothers me. But, if he talks to me and keeps a positive attitude and comes across as a good person, I will return the favor. All that matters is that they have a good personality, I'm not as shallow as I come across sometimes. Because equally, if a good looking, successful-looking person comes in and orders a healthy six-inch veggie sub, but acts like a total douchebag, then I'll treat them how they deserve to be treated. There's no reason to treat me like any less of a human just because I'm behind a bar making your food. If it makes you feel better to treat me like shit because I can't do anything back, that's fine. If I were to see a dick customer at the mall, even if they recognized me as the Subway employee that made their food, they won't even look at me. I don't want to be treated like a king or pampered, just to be treated like a human being. All I ask is that you give me respect.

Black Friday

It's almost that very special day of year again, the day that everybody recognizes no matter what race or religion they may be - Black Friday. It's become a sort of holiday in recent years. I personally, (along with 90% of the other things i write about) hate it. Last year was the first time I ever went Black Friday shopping, and at 4 in the morning. Needless to say, the only things I bought were things that I could've purchased on any other day. The 'sales' are on things that people rarely buy because they're extremely expensive. On Black Friday, those "extremely expensive" things go down to "super expensive". $500 dollars is still a lot to spend, even on a huge TV. Of course it's a good deal, but you're still spending $500 you could've spent on something else, like let's say a treadmill (since you're spending so much on something you're gonna sit in front of for hours, you most likely need a treadmill). The stupid people of this country are hypnotized into thinking they NEED this stuff just because it's marked down. The real winners come out in the wee hours of this wonderful day, it's quite a sight to see. Shopping on Black Friday made me feel like I was just part of the crowd of barbarians. I mean, two or some-odd years ago someone was trampled and killed in Wal-Mart's midnight opening. That is disgusting. "Come on family, let's trample this innocent employee so we can get to the TV's, which we can watch while having inbred sex"is what I picture a family to be like if they are willing to trample a man to get to good sales. Can people not see how they are just conforming to corporate America's schemes to draw money out of their pockets? They're too stupid to realize it! It's like watching a zombie movie. People fight over the last item. Why? Why lose every shred of your dignity to get a DVD player for half off? Well I suppose they already lost all of that dignity -- the second they left to go Black Friday shopping.

Art?

I don't know anything about classical works of art. My range of knowledge about artists doesn't extend far past Van Gogh or Picasso. And that's only because we learned about them in elementary school. The only point I could really argue is to as why people value most works of art. Picasso paintings, as well as many, many other paintings made by other artists are abstract and make no sense upon first glimpse. They can be worth more and viewed as better than some paintings that are completely realistic. What makes one of these paintings a 'work of art'? It seems like any child can dip their fingers in paint and go crazy on a canvas and make a drawing that an expert would deem worth millions. As a matter of fact, I'm sure I've seen several cartoons and shows where this scenario has been documented. It doesn't make sense to me as to what degree is considered to make a work of art a 'work of art'. Perhaps there are underlying metaphorical references that people see in the paintings. It could also just depend on who's critiquing it. One person will see it as a masterpiece while another sees it as a piece of junk (which it probably is). I guess art could be just like almost anything else on this earth, a matter of opinion.

Blogs

As I sit here writing my weekly blog, I know I'm doing it only for my English grade, and not necessarily for other people to read. But then I think about the people that actually do blog for other people to read their opinions. Personally, if I didn't have to, I would never ever write a blog. Every thing about them irks me. The word 'blog' used in modern vernacular angers me. "I'm gonna go blog." Shut the hell up, tool. I see it as a way of conforming to the flow of society. When a new term is invented everyone feels the need to use it to be up with the times. It's sickening to me. Also, the main reason I dislike blogging is because in all honesty, who really cares what you think? I'm making this blog persuasive in an attempt to get a good grade, but seriously, who else really cares what I have to think? "Oh, this kid doesn't like blogging. That makes no difference in anybody's life." And it's true. Someone could write a blog on how waitresses at restaurants should be required to put their hair up in a bun. It's abstract, but it's his opinion. Who cares? Waitresses who stumble upon it sure as hell won't put their hair up in a bun. I guess it's a way people can feel important, they put up their opinions and make themselves believe people are reading them and being affected by them. Every blog I've written has zero views. It doesn't bother me. I support the fact that no one has read my blogs because they have no reason to, and that's what I believe. People should have their own opinions and not feel subject to read others' in order to dissuade their own. So in closing, if anybody happens to stumble upon this, I hope their head explodes.

Staged Reality

I've been a pro-wrestling fans for about 7 years now, and it's really sad to see what the program has come to be today. Wrestling became popular in mainstream in 1985 when Cyndi Lauper joined forces with the WWF and brought the media's attention to the sport. Wrestling reached its height of popularity in the mid-90's, and almost everyone in America was at least aware of the sport. Stone Cold Steve Austin became their poster child, and he and The Rock are probably still the first names that come to mind when one mentions pro-wrestling. Sadly, nowadays the sport is probably at its lowest point of popularity ever. And I use the term 'sport' lightly. I mean, obviously, it's always been staged, and some would question the legitimacy of calling it a sport. It's an event where people display great acrobatic abilities and strengths, and must be greatly skilled to do so, so in sense, it is a sport. But, now the program is something completely different. In the mid-late 90's, during the "Attitude Era", wrestling was the most badass thing on television. Now it's nothing but a shitty soap opera. They wanted to dumb down the stunts and promos so that they can aim it at younger viewers. The problem is, that age group is usually put in bed by 8 or 9, when the show comes on. Kids these days are more mature (in a sense) than they used to be. A 10-year old kid watching wrestling today isn't going to be as easily affected as a kid from the 90's. They're not as impressionable to the sport as they used to be, it's just a part of society evolving. So now instead of interesting wrestling matches and MANLY VIOLENCE AND MUD-WRESTLING DIVAS, it's a whole bunch of overly-scripted storylines and stupid angles. I'm barely even a fan anymore because of what the sport has become. It's really sad, It upsets me to watch wrestling matches as little as 3 or 4 years old. It was so much better then. Obviously this blog is only aimed at a certain audience, those being wrestling fans. Any regular person wouldn't give a fuck. The whole 'who cares, wrestling is fake' mindset kicks in. The point is to use your imagination. You know it's scripted, but it's not 'fake'. Obviously they pull punches, but everything they do is still dangerous. There's been countless injuries and deaths from wrestling accidents. It's like watching Taken. You picture Mel Gibson as a badass ex-agent fighting to get his daughter back, not some old, psychotic racist bastard who's been brainwashed by Hollywood. When watching wrestling, you have to picture Stone Cold Steve Austin as the badass S.O.B. his character is portrayed to be, and not the guy who visits terminally ill children every tear to grant lifelong wishes to meet their favorite wrestler.

Vampires Suck

Ha ha ha, original title, right? Yeah, I know. But the fact is, the Twilight adaptation of movies is one of the worst things to happen to our country in recent times, not just because of my personal disliking of the series, but because of the effects it has on the youth (and some older fucktards too) of America. I mean, of course, nearly anyone can understand why I personsally wouldn't like Twilight. Sparkling vampires, shirtless dudes, Shark Boy, GAY. But the worst part is its followers. People, mainly teenage girls, now believe they are vampires, dressing in clothes from the film and wearing the teeth and following the rituals. This is not a summary of the South Park episode, I had these opinions long before I saw the parody. I hate hate HATE waiting on little girls that come into Subway! They're talking about how sexy Jacob is and that they're jealous of Bella, and I want to jump over the bar and beat them into the ground. But, the sight of blood would only excite them, cause you know, THEY'RE VAMPIRES. No, I don't care if you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, I'm sticking to Team Fuck-All-Of-You. Of course, the recent trend of vampire popularity has started a tidal wave of new media involving vampires, such as video games, movies and TV shows. I mean, most of the stuff isn't nearly as bad as Twilight, but I'm sick of the whole vampire idea. I don't get why people find them so interesting, they're supposed to be scary. 30 Days Of Night is the only thing in recent memory I can think of that gives vampires the traits and characteristics that they are supposed to have. And the series isn't ending anytime soon, They're releasing Breaking Dawn soon, I believe it's called? It'll have a midnight release, all the fat little goth chicks will turn to bats and fly to the movie theater, and then the next day have their ashamed mothers drive them to the mall and wait outside while they run into Hot Topic and buy all the latest merchandise. Then the shit ensues, they're out of Team Jacob shirts, there's crying, wrist-cutting, chemical warfare, mass genocide, suicide bombings, you know, the regular stuff that comes along with Twilight releases. So until then, I'll surely keep my cross handy.

Internet Trends

Anybody who spends a lot of time on the internet (mainly the younger end of the group) starts to become familiar with the unique sense of humor that is widely used across the web. Anything from phrases to pictures can become a staple to internet usage. It started off as a small trend but now is becoming more widespread, which will slowly cause the demise of the humor, as big media names will start endorsing things that became underground-ly funny years ago. A good recent example is 'Cigar Guy'. Something like that a short while ago only would've been discussed on forums and other websites of the sort. But now, there's a story about the background of Cigar Guy on the frontpage of Yahoo! and it debunks the story behind it. This ruins all the humor of the subject, and in sense, The mass media took something funny and killed it from overexposure just to make headlines, as it does with so many other things. The story behind this particular case is, Cigar Guy was photographed as being an out-of-place onlooker as Tiger Woods fired a shot, complete with a big, bushy mustache, cigar, and turban. The unusuality of his appearance caused many photoshopped pictures inserting his likeness into pictures across history. This is a staple with most internet memes, and is how the joke is spread. But, some big media outlet picked up on the story and documented it, making it widely known outside of the internet community. Finally, in the Yahoo! story, they interviewed the man, revealing his name, background, and that the turban (when viewed from another angle) was actually a ponytail, and his cigar and mustache were only a costume, to honor his favorite golfer. By learning the story behind the joke, it removes all credibility because there is no imagination left to the joke. You know what's actually going on so you can't find it funny. If the media hunted down Keanu Reeves to ask him to explain in detail the "Sad Keanu" meme, it wouldn't be funny anymore. It's like an inside joke or fad. It's funny or interesting amongst your group of friends, but when it gets out and everyone starts doing it, it becomes boring and uninteresting, "lame" in a sense. I guess this blog is about a cross between internet humor and mass media over-promoting things and ruining them. Internet jokes are funny in their own sense. When one is picked up and goes widespread, people don't know the original story behind it, and all the other jokes it's associated with, and then they go and do stupid shit like make t-shirts and make Facebook groups, and wear the shit out of it until there's no hope of it being funny again. If I ever see someone wearing a Cigar Gut t-shirt, I'll kill them. Legit. Because it's not funny anymore because of the fucking media. I feel like more and more of a hipster every day. Cardigans and Indy bands, here I come.

Fuck Food Service

The topic of this blog may not be specific enough by the title. So I'll make it a little more clear. All the evil in the world can be traced back to food service. I've worked at Subway for over 3 years and it has completely changed my outlook on the human race. The people I wait on make me wonder id we've really all completely evolved from savage primates. Before I worked at Subway I was timid and shy, never really spoke my mind, and I all around wasn't very social. Since my job requires me to talk to and take orders from hundreds of strangers per day, I was forced to become more social. In being more social, I am able to better read what kind of a person someone is by analyzing the little things they do while I'm making their sub. When I greet a customer with a friendly "Hello" or "Hi, how are you?" and the customer responds by going right into their order, I can tell that they have bad people skills. I can also decipher this when they say  "I want-" or "Gimme-", as if they're children. When I ask if they want it toasted and they respond by saying they want chips and a drink with that, I can tell they're flat out retarded. I'm also sick of hearing 'I thought my sub was five dollars!' when the five dollar menu behind me clearly designates the subs that are five dollars, and the five dollar special ended April 17th, and I promptly tell them that to make them feel stupid. I get the opportunity to do that a lot, since usually the sub I'm making has a higher I.Q. than the actual customer. My most despised statistic about food service is fat people. I HATE FAT PEOPLE. I don't care if it's absurd, but they disgust me. I have some fat friends, but none of them are disgusting. Likewise, if a fat guy comes in and is friendly and cooperative, I'll know in the future to treat him like a regular person. But, a majority of the fat people I wait on are disgusting slobs. It pains me to make a footlong tuna on cheese bread with extra cheese for these elephants, it really does. I hate that I'm slowly sealing their arteries. The worst is making subs for fat kids. I hate seeing little kids come in and ask for extra bacon and waves of mayonnaise. And their parents allow it and encourage because they too are gargantuans. I take every opportunity i can to use low fat mayonnaise or put less bacon on the sub, because they'll appreciate those extra 2-3 minutes I tacked onto their life. And of course, the number one thing a fat person cares about is shoving their food into their mouth as quickly as possibly, so they'll be rude and ignorant to me while their exposed stomach sits on my neatly arranged chip rack. Then, they leave a huge mess at their table, which is like a paradox to me because I'd think they would want as much of the food in their mouth as possible. It just disgusts me to see where our country is headed. and I suppose the reason I hate fat people so much is because I'm actually helping the epidemic, and there's nothing I can do about it because it's my job. I wish I could say "Are you sure you want bacon on that?" or "You don't need all that mayo." or maybe even "Sir, please park your SUV in the parking lot during your next visit" while pointing at his wife. If I ever get fat, I've instructed my friends to kill me. So, at least I have a motivation to stay in shape. That's the ONE good thing I get out of this situation. I'm using my Subway experience to land a job at a Subway in Europe while the people are still sexy. In America, all the sexy is gone. It's been covered in mayonnaise and eaten.

Respect Those That Laid The Pathway

There's an article on Yahoo! (obviously, at this point, my main source of news stories) that gives a list of celebrities that are reprising their roles in movies decades after the original movie came out. It proves a good point. Many of the most well known movies in our culture are from previous decades. Likewise, many actors in old movies are the most well-known. Even today, movies that are older than most of us are still the most talked about. The Godfather, Gone With The Wind, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, among many others. The actors in those movies are heralded as the greatest actors of all time. But today, who are the actors in the movies? Nobody knows. You turn on Sci-Fi and there's hundreds of bad movies and all the actors are nameless. Even most of the movies in theaters star people that aren't well known. But, the movies that DO feature veteran actors, are usually hits. Inception was one of the greatest movies in recent memory, because Leonardo DiCaprio is a veteran actor who is well-known for his great acting skills. The newest movies in the Rocky and Indiana Jones were met with months and months of heavy coverage before and after their releases, because of the legacy of both the series and their actors. People want to see movies with big names because they know they will deliver. Elderly actors like Clint Eastwood and Betty White have great followings because they've built up a huge fanbase over the years. People will go to see their movies. Who is Micah Sloat? No one knows. I don't even know. He's the main actor in Paranormal Activity, which I had to look up to find his name out. You don't see in the news "Where is Micah Sloat's next destination in Hollywood?' because no one knows who he is. Paranormal Activity won't go down as one of the greatest movies ever. It might become a cult hit, but that's it. The Expendables starred several very well-known actors and was met with rave reviews. It was a great movie because the actors in it were very experienced. Movies with nameless actors are usually only criticized for bad acting or plots, which usually lead to cult hits. They're fun to watch but won't be remembered a few months after they're out of theaters. And when they're advertised to be great movies that'll go down in history, the inevitable flop will only hit harder. So independent filmers and low-budget projects should leave the hits to the big boys.

Reinventing Currency

There is an article on Yahoo! from the Huffington Post that details plans for a new design for American currency. The first sentence reads 'The American dollar is in bad need of a makeover.' Fucking seriously? Are citizens bored by their money? When they go to McDonalds and get a Big Mac with extra mayonnaise, does the money they pay with bore them? Nothing will change with a new dollar bill, they're gonna be fat either way. There are pictures of a proposed example of the $1 through $100 bills. Not only do they look like travel brochures, but they're all different sizes. They're all different colors (not talking about how Obama is on one and Roosevelt on the other), They're VERTICAL, and they're retarded. They would literally cause mass chaos. Would everybody in the world have to attend a giant bonfire to burn all their old, boring, obsolete cash? All businesses would have to take the old and the new currency. Counterfeiters would have a field day, many, many people would be confused as to which ones are real and which are not, some places will surely refuse this 'new' currency...Nothing good would come from it. If people seriously think it's necessary that we redesign our money, they should probably be put in a camp. The 'Dollar ReDe$ign Project', which orchestrated this idea, has actually passed a petition to get the U.S. Government to consider their idea. Knowing our government, we'll have colorful new currency by 2011. Americans are obsessed with remodeling everything. It's disgusting, really, how they want to change things that are completely fine. If it's not broken, don't fix it. Next, it's gonna be digital money or some stupid shit. Trust me, they'll do it. There are so many things that need fixing in this country, but not how are money looks. As a matter of fact there's a shortage of boring green money as it is. So why fuck everything up even more? I'll tell you why, because people in this country are retarded. I'll be moving to Mexico shortly. Bye.

Facebookers Anonymous

Facebook is probably one of the most simple ideas ever created, yet it's one of the most complex. It's an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family and keep yourself up to date with what's going on around you. But at the same time, it causes so much shit that I really do not need to deal with. It brings about so many opportunities for people to make total asses of themselves. One class of people who post on Facebook are the attention-grabbers. They post lyrics to songs that obviously TOTALLY DESCRIBE THEIR LIVES. They write depressing statements. "My life is terrible"."I hope he notices me...". Well HE may not notice you. But everyone else sure does. And you're a pansy. They also constantly quote the ever-popular phrase FML. It was funny for a month after the website became popular. Now it's annoying as hell. Let's put it all together for the perfect emo 13-year-old girl status: "FMLLLL i hate my lifeeee, he doesnt even know i existtt ;(((" Somehow, about ten words made me hate you. Yes, fuck your life. With a crowbar. Nobody cares, all it does is make you look like a retard. Grow up. Now another class of Facebookers are gay guys. Yes, it sounds vague, but gay guys always seem to post stupid shit because they crave attention. I'm Facebook friends with a few gay guys I went to school with. One of them constantly posts emo 13-year-old girl statuses like the one above. Another one tells everybody about his wonderful adventures with his guy friends, and it's usually a different guy every week. It's disgusting. I don't need to hear this, and neither does anyone else. Now I don't hate gay people. I'm all for being gay and whatnot, like I don't care what they do behind closed doors. But don't let everyone else know. That's probably why people don't like gay people, because they can't keep their dick-ventures to themselves. The last class of Facebookers I can think of are the super awesome popular drunk kids. I've seen enough red cups in pictures to last me a lifetime. If you go on some slut's page and see the link for 1,568 pictures, and they're all of her in the same pose with the same peace sign and duck-face next to the same amount of drunk black guys ready to pounce on her, that's how you know she belongs in this group. It's funny when you're in high school and you're super-popular and you have to post pictures like this to maintain your reputation, but everyone still thinks you're scummy. It's even funnier when you're NOT in high school any more and you still post pictures like that and you look even stupider. I don't drink for this reason. I'm not gonna look like an idiot and get labeled in this group of Facebookers. I do go on Facebook a lot, don't get me wrong. But I don't give everyone a rundown of my day or pour out my emotions. I talk to my friends and I post things to entertain people. I'm an actor, I like to entertain people. But not by cutting my wrists over the internet. If people would use Facebook for good and not for evil, the internet would be a happier place.

Way Out of our League

There's an article called 'Tips for Frugal Billionaires' I found online. It contains a list of tips from billionaires on how one should spend money wisely. It also says one specific billionaire can spend over a thousand dollars a minute for the rest of his life and never run out of money. I can't help but feel intimidated by this. It's like, no matter WHAT I do in life, no matter what job I have or how much money I make, I will never be as successful as these people. Nothing I do will ever be as recognizable. Celebrities, even if they're not billionaires, get worldwide coverage for doing things at little as walking their dog down the street. I could organize a huge benefit to raise money for a certain charity and not even a fraction as many people would know about that. The balance in the world is completely fucked; knowing that life-changing things I can do will not be seen by nearly as many people as Paris Hilton's new hairstyle just bothers me. There's no reason celebrities should be as recognized as they are. Everyone in the world knows who Leonardo DiCaprio is. He makes movies that keep people entertained for two hours. He makes millions and millions of dollars, and is looked up to and worshipped by millions of people. On the other hand, just say a doctor at my local hospital performs successful heart surgery on a man, allowing him to see his children grow up and become successful. The man will be grateful forever, as well as his family and friends, but where is the rest of the recognition he deserves? He doesn't get a movie made about him. He still doesn't get paid as much as a movie star. He doesn't become the idol of millions of people. No one ever thinks about this because it's been like that forever. Actors and other famous people are the stars of our society. When it comes right down to it, saving a man's life is a much bigger deal than keeping someone mildly entertained for a few hours (and sometimes, they can't even say that much). Yet, it's recognized a million times more. I don't know, maybe I'm just biased. Maybe I just want to be famous as well. But I'm not saying I deserve recognition. I'm just saying if I were to save a man's life right now, nobody outside of my general hometown area would know about it. Celebrity status is overrated and they are undeserving of all the attention they get. If one day, I'm a rich actor and I open a magazine with a picture of me going to Starbucks on the cover, I will be ashamed of myself.

Priorities

So, I was browsing on Yahoo! because in my spare time I like to see whats happening in the world and Yahoo! seems to be pretty up-to date. I can find out almost anything because they update the headlines quite frequently, so I never even have to type in a specific, I just browse through the choices. The most important things are usually listed first. The only thing I don't understand is why the hell they put stupid shit about celebrities right up at the top of the list. It's like, I want to know the latest updates about the oil in the Gulf, but first, I have to scroll past what Paris Hilton wore at the Grammys. And as I move past the link, her lazy eye watches me move right on past her. Don't get me wrong, reading US Magazine and finding out what celebrities do and wear keeps me occupied while I'm taking a shit, but that's basically all it's good for. How anybody can actually care that Reba McEntire stepped outside in a DREADFUL denim get-up is beyond me. I enjoy her work. I don't give a fuck about what she wears. Keep all the details about her fashion sense to yourself, Yahoo! executives. It's terrible how millions are struggling to find a job yet you people are getting rich taking pictures of our president's wife and making fun of what she wears. Not only does that make you a communist, but also a racist. So, fuck you communist-racist Yahoo! executives. Stick to actual world news and let rich people dress like retards if they want to, they have the money to do it.
