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

f, for example, a small animal dies in the back yard and maggots start consuming it, I am inclined to let nature take its course.

Waste of food, to my mind.

http://www.toms.com/wedding-collection I can maybe see justifying this as raising awareness of poverty around the world, but it really irks me that Toms can frame this as anything other than a profit boost for them. The possibility that anyone would take them up on the offer and print out the supplied table number card templates and wedding invitation inserts explaining why they decided to make everyone buy $50 dollar canvas shoes instead of putting a charity on the registry is too depressing to think about.

That's completely disgusting.  Justifying extravagance with that small measure to try and make it appear as if they give an f.   

This made me so agitated I had to look at the site and I found this -  the one day without shoes.
Condescending and goopy.

That said, if it helps anyone than great.

I googled some quotes from the recent "Grabbler" video on the Onion to see if there was any faux "controversy."  Instead I just found a bunch of white power pride types posting things on message boards like "Yeah, so true."

re: Toms, those poor kids probably want Air Force 1s or something.  "Great, some plaid vegan slippers."

The guy in front of me at the 7-11 had "Power" tattooed on the back of his right arm.

Perhaps, I should have recommended that he have it modified.

Know what I hate?  When I catch myself Googling people I hate.  I need to not do that.  It's a waste of time and energy.

It can be rewarding, though, like when you discover their blog that has 100s of posts and no comments.
