Driving Pet Peeves of the Month

1) If you're going to change lanes in order to turn right, could you please do it within a reasonable amount of time? Just because you put on your right-turn signal to come into my lane it doesn't mean you can just go right in. These double lane-changing SOB's should be shot.

2) Are you turning left? Please have the courtesy to turn on your left signal before the cars behind you start to bunch up.

3) It's not a law but please, if you're a bit slow could you PLEASE move over to the right lane so people with reasonable driving skills could pass you? This especially applies on the highway. I wish they would have the American law of "drive on right, pass on left" here.

4) HOV lanes are for cars with 2 or 3 people who WANT TO DRIVE FASTER. They are not for cars with 2 or 3 people who WANT TO DRIVE SLOWER.

5) See those left-turn or right-turn only lanes? They don't mean you can drive through the intersection; they mean you have to turn, nimrod. This applies especially on the corner of No. 3 Road and Bridgeport Road where people don't really know anything.

6) The River Rock parking lot should save money and take away all their "Exit" and "Parking" and "One-Way" signs because nobody ever reads them anyways.

Who's Next

Now that Dancing With the Stars is featuring actual stars again, it had me thinking. When this season is over and the public is eventually tortured with another season, who will be on. Which useless celebrities and non-celebrities will be on it? My ugly list:

Heidi Montag (if you don't know who she is, Google her. Yuk...)
Miley Cyrus (yuk)
Paris Hilton (yuk)
Britney Spears (yuk)
Lindsay Lohan (yuk)

Yuk...

The World is a Better Place

Kate is gone! Kate is gone! I can watch TV again! So my new idea, if she likes the spotlight so much let's put her on the next season of Survivor and make sure she doesn't get voted off for a while. But let's get her to do gross things like eat elephant testicles or cockroach larvae (is there such a thing?). Bring her kids along too, since she needs to remember to exploit them. Yes folks, all is well in the world. But now, hmmm, who has taken over the throne of most pointless non-celebrity on TV right now? That mistress of Jesse James is a good candidate.....

Puke

So today's news is that the mistresses of Tiger Woods (Michelle "Bombshell" McGee) and Jesse James (Jamie Junger) are now being offered their own reality show. Might as well put the Queen of Skank Kate Gosselin, throw in Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and have as a guest star Paris Hilton. The sick thing is people will actually watch this crap. No wonder America makes me sick.

Boycott

And so begins my boycott of ABC programming until further notice. Kate Gosselin just makes me sick. To each and every one of you who voted for her to stay on the show, you make me sick. To ABC for manipulating the judges to say what they did, and for manipulating the phone lines and voting, you make me sick.

TV makes me so sick right now maybe I'll just give it up altogether. Well, maybe after the hockey playoffs.

Favoritism

Tell me that Dancing With the Stars isn't fixed. Whether it's the voting (9 votes per voting method?) or the totally biased judging on the show, it's become a joke. Tonight almost all of the contestants, even the ones that seemed flawless, got bad marks from the judges and equally bad comments. But for some reason they decided that the Queen of Child Exploitation did a wonderful job even though the dancing was so fake. I am convinced of one of the following:

1) The judging is fixed and the results are planned in advance
2) America is really that stupid to keep Kate Gosselin on the show

Which one is true? The show makes me sick. ABC makes me sick. They might as well put Jon Gosselin on the show next season.

Dumb Parents

So yesterday Amy and I were driving back home after our trip when we dropped by the Starbucks on 54th and Kerr. While looking for a parking spot I had to avoid a little girl (about 10?) who was debating whether or not to cross from one side of the lot to the other. I assumed that her parent was somewhere nearby and she was catching up with them. But when I had parked and took a look behind me I didn't see any parents. She was standing beside a car which had the back window open. So I assume she'd been told to wait in the car or something and she got impatient. Either way, it's pretty foolish and stupid to leave your child unattended in a parking lot. It really irked me.
