(FOUR) THE TERM “DARE I SAY…”
People who use the term “dare I say…” aren’t being “dared” to do shit. They just want to add a preface that what they’re about to say is a little “weird”. This makes no sense. I have NEVER heard anyone say “I DARE YOU… to say (whatever)” and then them respond with “DARE I SAY (whatever)”. You’re making your statement seem “risqué”, but its empty hype. 99.9% of the time. It’s never “Dare I say… cats should be banned from the country because if not I’ll stomp them all!”… It’s always “dare I say… let’s go to Dairy Queen!” Yeah! Dairy Queen…
(THREE) RESTARTING THE SPIDERMAN FRANCHISE
I don’t know if they announced they’re making a sequel to “The Amazing Spider-Man” yet, but I’m sure they’re looking to build the franchise. Why are they restarting this? The first trilogy was good enough. A lot of people didn’t get behind the third one, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have kept going with it. Why not just carry on the story from that point with a new crew? Does it really matter if we get ANOTHER origin story or not? If it’s marketed, people are going to see a movie with Spiderman in it for sure. Why not just move forward?
(TWO) THE WASTE OF WRAPPING PAPER BEING SOCIALLY ACCEPTED.
Recycling has become a big issue. Rightfully so. Our culture has been running rampant with excess for years now. We need to make some changes for the good of the future. People have become eco-freaks about this stuff. How come we’re all quiet about wrapping paper? I’m sure there are the wackos who complain, but as a collective mass we don’t say shit. Why would we? The wrapping paper is a symbol of getting a gift. We all love getting gifts and the razz-ma-taz of unwrapping a gift. I’ll be damned if someone gives me a gift bag. I can’t think of any awesome gifts that came in a “gift bag”. What I’m suggesting is newspaper, comics, or something like that. Still, this a huge waste of paper.
(ONE) SWEATER VESTS
If someone is cold then I have no problems with them wearing a sweater. It’s a nice warm option of clothing that I hope everyone considers on those chilly days. This is all fine and dandy. Why do we need sleeve-less sweaters…or “sweater vests” as folks call them? What is the use of this? Are your arms that much warmer than your torso? This just makes you look stupid. Be a man and wear a REAL sweater.
