    Circumcisions and drinking cows milk (not necessarily together). Think about it. I mean how does someone think, "d'you know what would be a good idea?" about these things?

    Good point what kind of loo-laa was so bored that he/she went to a cow and squeeze its bits until milk came out. That not being bad enough he/she then decides to drink it. People are freaks!

    Why is it so flipping inconceivable that people (thousands of years ago) saw calves drinking milk from cows, noted the painfully obvious similarity to the way that human babies feed, and decided that milk might have been a viable source of nutrition?:confused:

    I will never understand how these ^ "I read it in a round robin email" factoids that people find so facinating and unbelieveable became so popular. Please don't leave your logic at the door!

    Lady Gaga:confused: wtf like? How did THAT happen?

    she's very talented tbf/.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭Teferi


    Lady Gaga. You're not attractive, you're not making any sort of statement by dressing the way you do (which is ridiculous anyway), your songs and lyrics are not as smart or as good as you think they are and the way you act in interviews makes me want to kick you in that oversized nose of yours. You cúnt.

    Have you watched Firefly? It's amazing.

    Pokemon is just genius.

    Always confused me how many people put so much value on how clothes look.

    Watching sport in general. This is really, really boring. Same goes for watching YouTube videos of people playing computer games. Those are things I'd rather be playing than watching.

    Anime. I plain just don't get any of it.

    Calling everything 'art'.

    Music elitism. Who the **** cares?

    Talking about how you don't remember things from being drunk. That's not interesting.

    You may as well put me on ignore right now.

    Those massive jeans that teenagers wear that get dragged along the ground under their shoes. They look especially disgusting on a rainy day when they walk in mud. I don't get the fascination with wearing hoodies either. They're alright in autumn or winter but I've seen people wear them when it's twenty degrees or more. Oh, and tracksuits tucked into socks. I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone could go around looking like that.

    I have no idea how the majority of music in the charts nowadays ever became popular. Most of it is inane drivel made by people who can't even play an instrument so they use samples of existing music.

    Then there's all these internet fads. For instance Lolcats and the fascination with Chuck Norris and how tough he is.

    The single most pointless abomination against nature this side of Y2K. A moderately good idea turned into a fad and therefore wasted. By that I mean, the idea of being able to constantly update something on a thread so to speak, great, a plethora of applications there. I don't get microblogging or why anyone would need it, surely you can manage more than one line if you feel the need to blog?

    Anyway, twitter's site, presentation etc is what pisses me off, it's unnavigable. People have become morbidly obsessed with it too.

    Completely agree! I'm not on it,but sooooo sick of hearing of all this "tweeting", "tweets", "twittering" "tweeted" and "what celebs are tweeting" ****E!

    I also think sliced bread is abit overrated.
    Don't get me wrong,I use it and can see that it's handy,but seriously it's hardly the best invention ever.("Best thing since sliced bread")

    I mean,how hard is it to slice a loaf? Who invented that saying?:)

    I don't mind people that want to eat organic food,although the only thing I'm fussy about is eggs.I'll only eat free range(they don't have to be organic).
    What annoys me, is how organic is being used to market absolutely everything from shampoos, skincare, even clothing!

    Good grief, I could go on for years about the crap people obsess over.

    Hours & hours of Bebo / Facebook - Go outside and talk to people face to face ya freak!

    The Ben Stiller / Will Ferrell / Judd Apatow decade of "comedies" - Just......no!

    Neon clothing, tight jeans, gelled spiky hair, that skunk haircut - You're not cool or hard, just a pansey!

    Emo - Where the hell did that one come from!?!

    Black Eyed Peas - *Pulls out hair*

    People whinging about everything being expensive like a pint but will spend €40 on a t-shirt. Lunatics!

    Most of today's popular music, it's all sounds the goddamn same

    Rap music & their videos - Why do I want to listen to an ugly talentless idiot raving about his bling, bros & hoes while the video consists of him and his buddies endlessly walking into a niteclub where everything is in slow motion. E.g. Women's arses.

    Grey's Anatomy - You really have to have nothing between your ears to find this load of poo entertaining! Porn for women!

    16 / 17 year old girls who look much older wandering around pubs and niteclubs :eek: Faaar too many close calls :eek:

    I have no idea how graffiti and bored teenagers yelling at strangers in the street became popular. Like how is any of that fun? Get a real hobby, like shopping, you povs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,778 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    U2.

    I don't understand the obsession. In my opinion, they're monotonous and dull.

    I think U2 to an extent have sort of bored people into liking them. It's fashionable to say they're great and cool. I did like a lot of the earlier stuff and Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby were fine albums, but U2 were never the natural and fluid and diverse band that say, The Beatles or Queen or the Kinks or The Beach Boys were. U2 worked and worked and worked, they didn't have the raw and natural talent. Similar to comparing Ken Doherty to Ronnie O'Sullivan.

    Doesn't it also seem fashionable among celebrities to contract Swine Flu, or adopting a foreign child?

    Someone mentioned Twitter too among celebs', agree fully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,778 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Celebrities. Bunch of fúckin eejits.

    And English soccer.

    I would say the supporting of English soccer is more a cult and religion than fashionable.
    It has been going on for many many years.

    I would choose the viewing of Rugby by women as more a fashion thing.
    Rugby has really grown over the last few years and it's cool to say you
    like it now. It's also seen as 'above' soccer too.

    This type of music

    I can understand why people like regular dance music as it has a beat and it's pretty lively even if I don't like it myself, but this is just ****.

    Also throw in Soulja Boi, 50 cent, and all other 'Gangsta Rap.'

    Ray ****ing Darcy

    I like Ray Darcy. I think his laugh is infectious and one can't help smile/laugh along with him. Maybe it was cos I grew up watching him on The Den. I loved Zig and Zag too :D
    U2.

    I don't understand the obsession. In my opinion, they're monotonous and dull.

    I really don't like U2 either. Same as you, I find them dull.
