<a href="http://20somethings.ning.com/profile/Beth68">Beth</a> from <a href="http://bethis.wordpress.com/">b e t h i s</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is all part of the <a href="http://20somethings.ning.com">20 Something Bloggers</a> &#8220;<a href="http://20somethings.ning.com/forum/topics/bigger-blog-swap-posts">Blog Swap 3</a>&#8221;<br />
Don&#8217;t forget to go check out <a href="http://bethis.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/further-dangers-of-the-band-guy/">my post</a> over on her site.</strong></p>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<p>Candice has a little bit of a rant blog, but one of those good rant blogs, not one of those annoying rant blogs (you <em>know</em> the type I am talking about).  I tend to get into the rant myself from time to time, but I want to post a specific rant here on a topic Candice has <a href="http://www.negativesmart.com/2008/10/27/random-babblings/">touched on</a> in various forms through her posts:  <strong>The Perpetual Stupidity of Women On The Internet and Also In Real Life</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve talked about my <a href="http://bethis.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/am-i-an-airhead/">occasional airheadedness</a> in the past.  But at least I present myself to the world with a little bit of class and intelligence.  I think, in general, I am confused about why <em>class</em> and <em>intelligence</em> have fallen out of favor with young women.</p>
<p>Example:  Facebook.  If I see one more goddamn picture on Facebook (and by picture, I mean ENTIRE ALBUMS) tagged of a girl <a href="http://shirtordress.blogspot.com/">wearing a shirt as a dress</a> and drunk or puking or sitting on some guys face or puking while sitting on some guys face, I am going to throw my computer out the window.  Actually, I might just plant a virus so that all these girls get punched in the face every time they tag that shit.  The question is, when did it become cool to show the world what a fucking idiot you are?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying that I never puke while sitting on a guys face, but I don&#8217;t publicize it over and over again for the public to revel in.  I don&#8217;t make albums entitled &#8220;Let&#8217;s drink up sluts!&#8221; and &#8220;My bitches, my bong.&#8221; (OK, that one is actually kind of funny) or &#8220;Sluts! Skanks!&#8221;.  And I <strong>certainly</strong> do not make albums entitled &#8220;Lil&#8217; Hottie&#8221; full of pictures THAT I TOOK OF MYSELF.</p>
<p>I think this trend is making our gender/generation look foolish.  It actually concerns me sometimes.  I am a big believer in fun, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but where are we going to draw the line?</p>
<p>So here is a list of cringe-worthy stupidity that women our age need to stop doing immediately:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uhh, <a href="http://www.negativesmart.com/2008/11/09/its-fuggs-season-again/">wearing uggs, sweatpants and northface jackets all the time in public</a>.  Thanks for noting this Candice (PS- stealing &#8220;clonetastic&#8221;&#8230; genius).</li>
<li>Saying &#8220;Oh, I like all music except, like, country.&#8221; and other similar phrases.  You should probably think about having an opinion. It&#8217;s not offensive (or hard) to have a preference.</li>
<li>Staying in dead-end relationships/hooking up with people they don&#8217;t actually like.  This one frustrates me to no end.  I may be perpetually single, but at least I can last more than a week without hooking up with a random douche just out of boredom.</li>
<li>Not using birth control, or misusing birth control.  &#8230; Really, ladies?  We&#8217;re still doing this?</li>
<li>Getting into drunken physical altercations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Feel free to comment with more; I&#8217;m sure there are endless examples.  And like I said, by no means am I <strong>Anti-Fun</strong>, but I am more <strong>Pro-Using Brains</strong>.  I think we all need to wikipedia the word &#8220;class&#8221; and learn a few things.<br />
In summary, I need to turn my blog into a rant blog because that was way too satisfying.  And as Ron Burgundy says, stay classy San Diego skanks.</p>

	I can&#8217;t believe people still don&#8217;t feel like complete suckers when they buy bottled water. I can&#8217;t believe they allow themselves to be seen in public, displaying their lack of planning skills and/or braincells to the world. I don&#8217;t even have anything to add to the bottled water discussion, because it&#8217;s all been said before.</p>
<p>It costs more per gallon than gasoline. It&#8217;s just tap water, anyway. It has less stringent quality standards compared to municipal water. Blah blah blah. You look a fool. 10x more a fool  if I see you walking around with any of that expensive imported Whole Foods shit. Fucking. What. The fuck. Is it <em>organic</em> hydrogen oxide? (I will leave ranting about that pretentious fucking hipster store for another day.)</p>
<p>And yes. Dasani tastes like soap.</p>
<p>The only proper use for bottled water is to store in case of emergency.</p>
<p>I mean, you bastards <em>do</em> know that bottled water is a scam, right? As in, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola knowingly created a &#8220;need&#8221; out of thin air. You do realize that there are periodicals with names like &#8220;Beverage Industry Magazine&#8221; and &#8220;Beverage Digest&#8221; that run articles asking questions like &#8220;What can we do about those pesky assholes who come to establishments where our products are served, and then insist on ordering water, preventing us from getting their money?&#8221;. I wish I could find the specific article I&#8217;m thinking of (yes, I read periodicals with names like &#8220;Beverage Industry Magazine&#8221; &#8212; do not get me drunk and start talking about soft drinks, because I will bore you to death), because it was almost in those words. But I believe it may have been something that got accessed years ago that wasn&#8217;t meant to be seen by anyone not involved in the industry.</p>
<p>There must be other ways to monetize stupidity. I need to start brainstorming.</p>
<p>(P.S. While searching for Dasani on Flickr, I found a number of photos of a child by the same name. Which is&#8230; just special.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a problem with that, get off of my blog, and take your stupid with you, stupids.</p>
<p>I reserve the right to bastardize the English language in any way I please. I feel entitled to break the rules based on my above average knowledge of, pff, well. Everything. Breaking rules because you&#8217;re a dummy is just dumbness. But breaking them on purpose is amusing, and I&#8217;m just so durn darn smart that it&#8217;s actually impossible for me to succumb to accidental errorism. I&#8217;m a little bit modest about it sometimes, but it&#8217;s a fact &#8212; I&#8217;ve never made a mistake in my life. Anything that happens to look even a little bit mistakey is designed that way.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you ever have the feeling that people just don&#8217;t &#8220;get&#8221; you&#8230; Yeah&#8230; &#8217;cause&#8230; </p>
<p>I guess it&#8217;s hard for the imperfect to comprehend the utter perfectness of my perfection.</p>
<p>I have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>&#8220;I pressed down the mental accelerator. The old lemon throbbed fiercely. I got an idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to go watch <em>The Pickup Artist</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;I&#8217;m going to get really bored, and stage my own UFO hoax. Whoever is behind <a href="http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2022.html?theme=light">this</a> <a href="http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1270&#038;category=Environment">very</a> <a href="http://ufocasebook.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=reports&#038;num=1179108769&#038;action=display&#038;start=0">elaborate</a> <a href="http://www.ufocasebook.com/strangecraft3.html">one</a> is obviously having one hell of a laugh (there&#8217;s more of this BS scattered all over the interwebs, including Flickr sites and yadda yadda, but if you click any of the links I&#8217;ve posted here, you&#8217;ll be able to find them &#8212; I&#8217;m not made of copypasta!)</p>
<p>I look forward to following this one. My favourite part is always where the people on the UFO forums all say &#8220;I work with Photoshop professionally, and if this is a phoney, it&#8217;s a very good one!&#8221; (i.e. the board you&#8217;ll get to by clicking &#8220;elaborate&#8221; above). Yeah. Saturated white backgrounds make it <em>extremely</em> difficult to airbrush things out&#8230;</p>
<p>Morans!</p>
<p>I love how the artist here has used several screen names to post pictures to a number of different sites, and gotten a few friends involved to pose as multiple witnesses. It makes the whole thing so much more &#8220;authentic&#8221; and hilarious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, look. What&#8217;s so scandalous about seeing some random celebrity&#8217;s panties? Panties have several purposes. One of them is to cover up vaginas. You are <em>meant</em> to see the panties. That means they&#8217;re working, and you&#8217;re not seeing vagina. I really don&#8217;t understand what&#8217;s so embarrassing about being seen in your undies, either. The only difference between a bra and panties and a bikini is the fabric they&#8217;re made of, and women happily walk about on the beach in a bikini. And when they do, their isn&#8217;t a similar shocked and appalled reaction to OMG vagina hidden only by a thin layer of lycra/spandex. Are we all still in kindergarten?</p>
<p>Now, full on vag shot, that&#8217;s something else. And I&#8217;m 100% convinced, never accidental. Whores.</p>
