After about 5 minutes of infomercials
 
I felt like exterminating the human race.

Somehow seeing a chick talk about how in love she was with a boyfriend until she found out that his penis just didn't measure up really pissed me off. Not because it made me feel inferior or worried about my size, but because of the incredible shallowness of the statement.

All the penis enlargement talk made me think about making my penis smaller just to give a big :fuckyou: to modern society. Or just cuting it off and throwing it in a sex symbol's face. I see why Britney cut her hair off.

And it wasn't just that- it was also the fucking morons who have to get a PC tutor to learn how to use it who are young enough not to be behind the times. Or the mattress infomercials. Lame.

i don't think you should have your penis made smaller.

Society (generally North American) is turning to shit. I've also been thinking about sex appeal a lot lately and it's been a big turn-off. I find it's so instinctive and people are just acting like animals with sex appeal. Most people are losing their rationality and self control due to the shitting hype about sex appeal. It's like giving beef to a dog.

I'm not saying I'm not a part of it, but I most certainly am not a victim of it.

yeah, I like girls with big ol butts, but noone seems to notice.

Haha, I often watch CNN with my parents, but generally it's stuff like "PEDOPHILE 84 YEAR OLD WOMAN HAS SEX WITH 11 YEAR OLD". I'm sure there are a lot of interesting parts that can inform me about the world, but along with that comes these rediculous news reports that I don't want to hear

yeah, over here it's global warming paranoia ALL DAY EVERY DAY on the news channels. There's only so many times that you can hear about it before you start questioning whether you should carry on living the way the world is going. Depressing or what! I'd rather hear more about Britney ha ha ha ha ha

screamingskull 02.22.2007 05:09 PM

hahaha, we were discussing Brittany in french class today. She got tattoos too? I think the "punkest" she'll ever get is making a video with Avril Lavigne.

About global warming; I believe not many people will act upon it until we start really being affected by it. We're not too too affected by it now, but it's only a matter of time before we are.

Yeah, and these new Guerilla advertising techniques are getting worse and worse! I mean, if people keep paying for viagra for full price, they're wasting money. The true way is to visit www.vipra.us And sexxxxxx viag8a gre8 FREEprescriptions

She's just completely lost her marbles, She seriously needs to go to rehab and commit to it, long term. Then get out and look after her babies. God knows KFed isn't up to the job, i love calling him KFED, it feels insulting. Its great when people's names are insulting, I went to school with a guy called Patrick Swallows. Ha ha ha ha ha ha

i am trying to keep myself as blissfully unaware about global warming for as long as possible. The less i know the happier i will be. It may sound ignorant but i do know alot about what is happening and it depresses me too much.

I'm not going to, I like how it looks right now when it is all warmed up and still floppy when I stand naked in the mirror.

But the whole mentality just disgusts me.

BTW, what is that picture in your sig from? It is very beautiful.

CHOUT 02.22.2007 06:00 PM

I avoid all informercials, except for the Time Life music ones with Air Supply hosting the Soft Rock one, and the 60's ones only for the funky clips of the bands.

Rob Instigator 02.22.2007 06:18 PM

I actually enjoy watching the infomercials beause I like to deconstruct all the various gimmicks and tricks and techniques they use to try to sell me their cheap crap.

It's a still from the music video for smashing pumpkin's 'today', I believe.

I watched a really convincing infomercial for a juicer once, and since then I've struggled to find it. I think it was the 'Jack LaLanne Power Juicer' or something, and he was on tv with his wife demonstrating the awesome no-pulp shredding power of his new juicer. It was so great.

One of my classes is completely dedicated to learning those techniques and how to convince people. I have told the teacher many times that I hate the class and I am only completing it to get out of college.
