Overrated Shite?

[katoeylover]

Global warming and all of its co-conspirators (its fucking cold here!!)

[brocklanders]

Well Stogie, agree with a lot of what you say but two things you said are pure blasphemy.

Radiohead is one of the greatest bands in the history of music.   Lots of copycats like Muse and Coldplay but Radiohead  is unique, diverse and brilliant.    

Thai food is the greatest and most diverse cuisine in the world.   The only cuisine that comes close is Japanese food as sushi may be the greatest invention ever. I hope to God you are not suggesting British food is better than Thai food, that would be insanity.

Here is my overrated list:

1. Grey's Anatomy:  Biggest shiite show ever.   HBO is the only real television with The Wire and Sopranos

2. Monty Python:  Nerd humour and slapstick turn of the century comedy for morons

3. World Cup: I love watching soccer but this has turned into a flop contest and penalty kicks.  Italy didnt deserve to win the Cup, they flopped their way into it by beating Australia.

4. The Who:   Although Quadrophenia is damn good, most of what they make is a slightly harder version of bubble gum pop with zero originality.

5. Las Vegas:  If you want to see hot chicks or go to a club its great but its nothing but a bunch of slot machines and card tables devoted to degenerate chain smokers and drug addicts whom are happy when they lose money.

6. French food: Heavy, cream laden shit

7. Guiness beer:  I want beer not pancake syrup

8. Pubs:  Drinking pancake syrup while watching formula one racing, golf and low grade soccer in a room full of know-it-all blokes is not my idea of fun.  

9. Playboy magazine:  Even Maxim and FHM has more hardcore photos and the articles are by idiots.  Tall blonde girls with B cups and plain Jane faces is not my idea of hot.   Where are the Asian mix girls, latinas, mulattas etc.

10. Lonely Planet Guides:  I like to do touristy things when I am in foreign countries also but the book is always full of inaccuracies and caters to smelly backpackers.

Las Vegas: Loud, tasteless and crass. Fear and Loathing indeed!

Disneyland: See above

American cars: Pure Shite

American motorcycles: See above

Hollywood movies: Explosions, car chases, laughable dialogue and predictable plot lines.

"Support our troops": Fuck them, they volunteered.

Spectator sports in general: I just can't get exited over a bunch of overpaid, steroid enhanced douche bags chasing some kind of ball around. I make an exception for The World Cup. I know there is a lot bullshit with that as well, but I allow myself to suspend disbelief and enjoy the drama.

Hip Hop: Some cartoon "Gangsta" grabbing his nuts, waving his hands around, and shouting about how bad-ass he is. Are you fucking kidding me with this shite?

Big tittied blondes: In other words, the American archetype of female beauty. They look like ridiculous cows to me.

American cars are pure Shiite? So the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Cherokee LT are pure shiite? lol, whatever you say dude.

American Motorcycles pure shiite? So I guess you include the greatest motorcycle in existence in Harley Davidson. They might not be fast but they are a work of art and made with the highest quality. USA also makes the best custom choppers in the world.

This American bashing might be in vogue now but not everything done in America is pure crap.

[strocube]

Being an American I kinda have to use that as my frame of reference as far as overrated shite goes. While I have traveled a fair amount, I have no idea what the overrated shite situation might be like somewhere else. I never said, nor do I agree with the idea that everything American is pure shite. There are a lot of things here that I love, but that was not the topic of this thread.

Some people just don't know how to open their mouth without putting their foot in it!

And for the record also the French;-    6. French food: Heavy, cream laden shit


RR.


PS.  Some people don't know when they are being wound up either!  

[brocklanders]

To be honest, I wasnt even thinking about bashing any particular country, I think I bashed the US more than anyone else.

[stogie bear]

Some of Monty Python is classic comedy. Unfortunately the moments of genius are buried in silliness.

I agree that pubs are over rated. Noisy dirty shit holes that charge more for beer than gas stations charge for petrol! And there are too many fat chicks in them.

The Who were always over rated. As were those idiots 'The Doors.' Being a smack-head doesn't make you a great musician!

I was only joking Brock, but you did bash The Who and Monty Phython which are both a bit of a    institution and I love Guinness
