Idiots, Stimpy. Idiots.
Jul. 24th, 2007 01:55 pmVarious things I loathe:
Oversleeping. Your favorite food tasting like crap just when you were so looking forward to yummy goodness. Having to work. Stupid people. Literary snobs.
That last one bugs me more than most. Christ, bitches, in this day and age when reading some abysmally low number of books/magazines/cereal boxes counts as fantastic, you're going to sit there and quibble over what people chose to read and then bitch mightily when you yourself are essentially reading a book that tells you what to read? He who can't hack it past five books in a month does not get to give anyone else crap over their choices in reading material. If they want to read cheese, then let them read cheese.
Granted, I was okay with their rant [which I'd link to if a) I still had the link and b) didn't feel that directing anyone that way would be violating the rules] right up until he was bitching about what people choose to read. Sure, it was a slam on the SVH I love so much, but that's not for everyone, and I know that. But then they slam just about everything else under the sun. I don't like cheesy romances for the most part, I like mine supernaturally flavored. Not everyone can get the hang of manga, nor do they want to, but I'll be damned if someone reading a best-of-the best books kind of book gets to insinuate that there aren't some fantastic stories that just so happen to fall under the comic/manga umbrella. Snob. Sure, there are some things I think are utter crap [and I mock the book o' books, but it's essentially a list, and I like lists, but reading a list doesn't make you better than anyone else] and I'll bitch about why, oh why, would anyone read such a thing, but I try to be specific. Like the crappy book written by some local author. I think it was crap. If I could remember it, I'd check it out from the library again and write down the fantastic butchering of simple phrases my nephew can manage to not mangle.
G'ah. I need to shower and sleep and take over the world before bedtime!
