While I’m thinking about it, here are some things that make me mad:
- Unpaid internships. (Why is this not ILLEGAL?)
- The idiotic, positively correlated relationship between poverty and obesity in this country.
- Dogs who live their entire lives outdoors on chains.
- 90 percent of all Craigslist posts. (“Depressed about American education” is also a common emotion.)
- Parents who abandon their children.
- Strip clubs.
- Churches who just want you to follow the rules and tell other people to do the same.
- Diet Coke.
- People who think Atlas Shrugged is the greatest book ever.
- Reality TV shows, unless they involve dogs. Or Tyra Banks.
- Conspiracy theorists with penchants for e-mail forwards.
- Men who whistle/cat call at women.
- Glee.
(And yes, I know, this blog is just turning into a series of dumb lists. But you know what? I’m OK with it.)
Diet coke is just delicious!
But I agree with everything else, especially the last bullet point.
I could have an entire blog about things that make me angry and Glee would be at the top of the list.
Could you add the Susan Komen Foundation dumping Planned Parenthood?
Joan: YES.
I found a collection of articles discussing the ups and downs of unpaid internships, and I immediately thought of you. Hope you enjoy!
