Annoying Things

I just gotta get these things out of my head here. They have been bugging me for a couple of days. I want to express my distaste for the following:

Commercials WITHIN commercials: this seems to be a new fad amongst low budget advertisers, to interrupt one crappy, poorly produced commercial with another one to somehow comment on the first. It is an annoying tactic and makes me instantly forget the product advertised, replacing any subconscious interest I might have with molten hatred.

The Ugly Side of Paris Hilton: Apparently this ubiquitous tart said some bad words on some home videos that were like sold at auction when she like didn't pay the bill on her storage locker. The Press is now calling this her ugly side. Um, WHAT? What was the side we've been looking at???

Barbers: They make me uncomfortable

Barbars: An Elephant Family. The are uncanny, especially when they go pantsless.

Eyelashes: Do we really need them? 100% of the time the thing that is in my eye is a piece of grit or an eyelash. So, if they eyelashes are letting grit in, and then falling into my eye directly afterwards, what's the point? It's not a pool party here Eyelashes, it's my eyeball.

Permanent Makeup: PERMANENT MAKEUP!!!

That's all for now.

Extended Entry!

I am further annoyed (and slightly smitten by) Basho, the Sumo Wrestler Table. It is wrong on so many levels. So many that it might be right.

and proof that Basho exists and people actually want to have one (so much as to steal one):
