Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[cutout]

Look at the trending topics- usually most of them are multiple words put together into one hashtag. There's no reason to make a one out of a single word that you could just search for anyway.

On that note, there is hilarious hashtag abuse going on here -

Update on my hated friend in twitter. She just posted this:

"**Attention World** I really enjoyed the Spoon album. I even heard a couple of songs to learn."

The spoon album she's talking about is Gimme Fiction. It came out in 2005. I wonder what other albums from 2005 she would like?

Also, she kept calling it "Get Friction" instead of "Gimme Friction". Clearly she LOVES it.

Why am I so obsessed?

That "Attention World" would piss off a kitten.

I have similar weird obsessions w/similar people... I'm not sure how it's defined exactly but it's fascinating (and scary-you wonder how bad you are) to observe someone with high levels of both self awareness and cluelessness.

HOT: Throwing Tomatoes at La Tomatina Festival, Bunol, Spain: World's Biggest Food Fight!

Not sure if you guys on the Jersey side of the Atlantic have heard or seen this annual atrocity. I'd never heard of it until I moved here. The reason I post this old video is that I just noticed this year's event on TV. I guess the participants have been too busy taking tomatoes out of their ears and bathroom parts to post a new video already.

Europeans like to scoff at the eating contests in the US etc., which would ring true if things like the above did not actually exist.

Poorly done infographics.

Wow. I couldn't finish that. It was giving me tummy trouble.

When did they start printing expiration dates on the actual egg?  Hate.

Plenty to hate there, plus these clowns have a blog, 'Stuff Hipsters Hate' which - guess what - is going to be a book.

One-joke 'humor' blogs getting book deals is something else I hate (Stuff White People Like, S%(*( My Dad Says, etc). The word 'humor' is kind of like the word 'monologuist' - kind of sets your expectations low so you don't feel too ripped off if you don't laugh much.

I am probably just jealous because I've never had a book deal.

That blog makes me like hipsters a little.

I generally agree, but I gotta say that I love "Stuff White People Like" and feel that the writers deserve anything they get.
