Waaaaaaaaaah!


Turns out this review is the worst piece of drivel I have ever read:

The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever (Hardcover)
The worst piece of drivel I've ever read., March 30, 2009
By R. Carranza

"Sets women back 200 years. I think it's time for this author to put away her Mac and go back to the Steno Pool where she belongs. How many trees died to print this garbage? "


No reason to beat around the bush, here are a few reasons why R's review is a giant pile of crap:

-He complains about women being set back 200 years and then in his next breath, set women back another 50.

-Assumes that everyone uses a Mac. Some people can only afford PC's.
(Unlike whinny trust fund bastards like R . who leave reviews for books they have never even read just because the author hurt their feelings. Boohoo, poor you! Waaaaaaaaah. "Mommy come quick! The scary lady said one negative thing about my toy over a year ago and I still can't get over it because of a cripplingly myopic world view that precludes me from understanding the difference between dialogue and argument!" Waaaaah! "I want revenge, but I don't want to use my name or allow any real back and forth because then I would have take responsibility for my actions." Waaaaaaah!)

-Attempts to use "Steno Pool" ironically.

-Attempts irony.

-Throws in a random environmentally friendly tirade, because he read on a message board that he might be able to lose his virginity before turning 32 by pretending to be "all Green and sh**!"

Who? Me?


In the last few weeks the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna debacle has played out in front of a horrified world. It's not hard to find thousands of "I hate Chris Brown" posts and comments. That's kid's stuff.
It might be difficult to fathom that anyone would be defending Brown. But remember, America loves an underdog. Even an underdog that beats on women. Even an underdog that you most likely have never met and only know through third-hand gossip that you can't really prove that you heard in the first place. Even an underdog that is lucky that Jay-Z hasn't had him beaten, gagged and then thrown into the East River.

Here is one example of the pro-Brown comments I was able to discover (two weeks too late to be even remotely timely):

FROM the TMZ story:
Shocking Blow-By-Blow - Chris Brown/Rihanna
Posted Mar 5th 2009

"HAVE YOU MET CHRIS BROWN? NO.

+I HAVE AND I HAVE WORKED FOR HIS RECORD LABEL AND THERE IS NOT ONE PERSON WHO HAS ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT HIM AND THAT'S WHY EVERYONE'S SO SHOCKED.

+HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MUMMY'S BOY AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOVELY TO ALL THE STAFF AND CELEBRITIES AROUND HIM. +YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED YET AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE HIM. +GOD IS WATCHING YOUR NASTY A$$" Posted at 9:46AM on Mar 5th 2009 by J
Two things I learned from J and his hauntingly stupid all-caps post:

1)Chris Brown acted out so violently because it turns out his mother is an undead Egyptian monster that once attempted to kill Abbot and Costello

2)My ass is nasty. And there is a pervy all-seeing deity that likes to watch said ass 24-7. Kinky.
