Things that must go...


1. Spelling things wrong to be clever in a name. Yeah, let's act illiterate to get attention.

2. News anchors who use ridiculous segways to go from news to weather or sports. (Turning to the meteorologist after a story on Barrack Obama) "Well, how about those black storm clouds overhead?!?"

3. Waiters who ask if the infants in the party would like a kid menu. "Yes, the five-month-old baby would like a Kid's Super Burger. Thanks."

4. Speed limits that change every few hundred yards (welcome to North Salt Lake).

5. The term "pop music" being used to insult a particular artist. I happen to love pop music and there was a day when it didn't mean Spears, Simpson, or Duff.

6. Plumber's crack...it sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

7. The price of textbooks. "Let me just take out a second mortgage on my house...I'll be right back."

8. Personalized license plates like "Foxxy" or "Hotty." Shut up.

9. Oh yeah, and those big huge trucks whose drivers plaster them with decals about how macho they are. There was a guy who had some vulgar, sexist phrase along his cab window that was a play on the word "stroke" (referring to his diesel engine, I presume) that made me gag. Oh yeah, and those naked lady silhouettes on the mud flaps. The symbolism there is unmistakable. A naked lady who is covered in road grime. Sir, I now know a lot more about how you view the female sex.

10. Colin Farrell. Anyone seen this guy actually act. I mean, I have seen him appear on screen in costume...but that's about it.

Along with number 1-

The over substitution of numbers for letters/words. Please ban this from all future song titles.

Case in point- Sk8ter Boi?

Do we not recognize how much better Skater Boy looks? Granted, it's still not the best title.

Let's get with the times, folks. The new term for "plumber's crack" is "coinslot." It's not just a plumber phenomenon anymore... :O)

That reminds me of Nelly's Tip Drill video. Sliding the credit card.
