I don't normally make two a day, but there are sometimes I just need to randomly ***** about things that piss me off, including things I've already talked about. Feel free to add your own, because this is all about venting with no rhyme, reason, or expectation.

- Lebron James: Someone shoot that **** so ESPN will shut up about him. I've won the same amount of championships he has, but I don't get cover stories about *********ing a year ago. What makes him so special? On the subject of athletes...

- Pro athletes whining about ANYTHING: You get $1-30 mil a year to play a game, free ****, first class trips,fine dining in every city on the map and worldwide fame, but somehow that's not enough? You claim of depression or needing money to "feed your family." **** you. I'm a cheapass, broke college student and I don't claim to have any of the "problems" you entitled little ***** have. Be grateful anyone gives a damn about you and is willing to put money in your pocket.

- Crying Babies: movie theaters are not the place for them. If you want to go to a movie, keep your kid with a sitter and go by yourself.

- Nintendo: Learn to make a game without Mario, Link, and Samus...

- Using Facebook at public libraries and colleges: 60% of computers in use at libraries and computer labs are used for Walls and FarmVille. I seriously doubt your family would be happy to know they are spending $5000 a semester so you morons could check your Facebook status.

- Using the Tomatometer/Numbered Reviews to validate your opinion: :OH NOES! THOR'S ONLY AT 75%. I GUESS I'M NOT GONNA SEE IT! IT SHOULD BE AT 90%" I know this society is full of instant gratification, but not playing a game SIMPLY because they saw a 6 or 7, rather than reading the reviews is ridiculous.

- FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: so you're first...does that mean I'm supposed to give you a ****job?

- Neverending internet arguments/threads:

"Subs v. Dubs"
"ECW Championships is/isn't a world title"
"FF7 Remake"

It's been five years, and things like this have YET to be settled. What's worse is the arguments always have the same content and context. Wait a month, there will be another, but nothing will get accomplished.

- "WHAT?!": A wrestler stops their promo, and every crowd says this. Stone Cold unleashed that plague on wrestling, and it shows no sign up stopping.

- When the hell are Sin City 2 and Bond 23 coming out?

- Unskippable cutscenes/random encounters/lives systems in any game this generation: they suck period

- Racism/Sexism/Homophobia: People can be funny, stupid, dense, hopeless, romantic, pathetic, intelligent, etc. regardless of skin pigment, choice of genitals, and sexual orientation. One thing I won't accept about the latter is the "lisp." That stereotype is almost as annoying as crying babies. I bet people with actual speech impediments want to kick you ******* down stairs.

Blaming Obesity on Fast Food/Videogames: Anyone who becomes a fatass is their own enemy. Lashing out at McDonalds because you ate five of their biggest burgers or because you spend 10 hours playing Call of Duty is your own damn fault. Hell, I spend eight hours a day on this site and playing games, but I motivated myself to get active. I never said "The Whopper made me fat."

Blaming Violent kids on videogames: They are violent because their parents suck at raising them, not because Sub-Zero rips people's spines out.

Blaming sexual deviance on pornography: I think tentacle porn and chicks with ***** are both depraved (even for me), but I won't stop anyone from viewing it. Consider it a learning experience.

That's about all I have for now...I feel better.

I don't see why only athletes who've won championships deserve publicity. This is stupid reasoning. LeBron gets cover stories because he's popular and because he's talented. Not sure what else you need. You may hate him, but if you can't understand why he gets publicity, I don't know what to tell you.

I brought this up before: I don't hate him. I hate the overexposure. ESPN has 50 million shows a day, and every single one "NEEDS" to talk about him. He's not playing right now (nor is any NBA player), so would it kill them to talk about sports that are actually doing something?

You've scored a hell of a lot less points in the NBA than he has.

ESPN exec: I know, let's talk about that guy we always talk about who "took his talents to south beach" last year.

Employee: But we already ran that story 364 days a year, right along side the Derek Jeter subplots. What could we possibly do to make ANOTHER story?

Exec: We'll talk to a FOOTBALL player about "The Decision." Nothing will be more engaging then a guy from a different sport who's probably never met the guy...but he's from Cleveland, so it works.

And that's ESPN everyday.

Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the first story I've heard about the Decision since the NBA season ended last month.

But maybe I'm watching the wrong shows.

They started it back up yesterday, saying, "We're one day from the anniversary of "THE DECISION!" Guess talking about lockouts was boring.

Well, what do you want them to say about the NBA Lockout?

"Yep, the two sides still aren't talking and don't plan on talking for a while, looks like we could be in for a long one."

I don't mind them looking back on The Decision (TM), just like I don't really mind them looking back on the anniversary of anything if it was a big news story.
