What Annoys The Foob?

I've pondered over the 19 years of my life of all the good things in life, more specifically, family and friends. In these modern days, people seem to be annoyed easily by things. I admit it, I am one of those people. Here are a list of things that annoy me, and why.

1. Poker-
Now I do enjoy playing Poker, Blackjack, and Hold-em, but please, what constitutes it for it being broadcasted live on ESPN every day. Is it really a sport or require any athletic abilities? Perhaps the lone ability of bluffing makes it a legitimate "sport". What the fuck started the craze? I have a hard time understanding where it all began. My final thought on televised poker is that they do not represent your everyday gambler. They hire the professionals who have won tournaments. Give me the average joe who is running low on drug money or those whose lives are disorderly, I feel that would give a slight boost to the ratings.

2. Rap & Controversy-
All I can say is this...What the fuck happened? We go from classic talent Run D.M.C, N.W.A, Ice T(he's not much but he was a huge part of rap history), Dr. Dre, 2Pac, and Notorious B.I.G, to "crunk" creator Lil John, who was only popular because of his ability to make 3 words sound cool. One artist in particular who gives me a headache is Soulja Boy. A 17 year old who repeats the same lyrics over and over with a large amount of sexual references(ie Soulja Boy up in this hoe, or Superman that hoe). I have no problem with him trying to make money, more power to him, but why is it that a few months ago, radio personality Don Imus who made a crude joke by referring to the Rutgers basketball team as "Nappy Headed Hoes". We as Americans were outraged by it, but my question to you is...why? Why is it ok for rappers to use such vulgarity and regard women in such manners such as hoe and bitch and get paid for it, and yet, Imus says it once on the radio and everyone jumps on the high horse and say fire him. America is a dysfunctional country in this matter.

3. Nancy Grace-
When she is back from her maternity leave, watch her show on CNN @ 6pm mountain time and you will see why she is annoying.

4. Jack Thompson, Asshole in Law-
95% of the people in America hate your face. Which game in the future will you file a lawsuit against and end up losing? Im guessing the next GTA.

5. The Writer's Strike-
Although I completely agree with the reason you guys went on strike, leaving me watching "I Love New York" on VH1 and reruns of Fran Drescher on Lifetime makes me sick. Please get back to writing soon!

6. Football(Not Soccer)
Well, start off with college football. 32 bowl games, 5 being a BCS Championship. God damn, do we really need to have 64 teams playing for a bowl title? I mean, come on, does a team really want a bowl game trophy presented by a chicken entree company? Hell I wouldn't. Ok, enough of college, and back to the big guns in the NFL. Patriots will probably be undefeated. Dolphins, lets hope they lose all the way. I am a Packers fan myself and it is a refreshing site to see a rejuvenated team. Falcons, well, at least you still have your health, unlike Vick who will become someones teddy bear in prison. For the "hit" that happened on Sunday to Merriman of the Chargers, I wouldn't be suprised if Fisher did do so or not.

Until then fellow citizens, Take Care.
