As a nation why do we continue to embrace such a throwback as Miss America beauty pageants? Some of us as women want to be considered intelligent, able-bodied human beings. That's why we strive to continually better ourselves and improve on the person we already are. Pageants encourage superficial beauty and youth to be the most valuable trait a woman can have.
A co-worker and I were doing cardio at the gym last night and we saw on the TV how Fox News was doing a feature on Ms. California. They showed clips of her in all her glory prancing around in a swimsuit on a stage and then wearing a tiara. It just looked absolutely ridiculous. Why do we still even HAVE beauty pageants? I remember people saying the contests were obsolete when I was a kid in the 1980's. I don't want to watch those things. They just really make me mad.

Entitlement and Americans
Most of the clientele at my place of work is comprised of middle aged wealthy people. I am not going to name the company I work for, but we sell high quality women's apparel aimed at the wealthy echelon of the 40+ generation. Because of my position at the company, I hear a lot of negativity from the customer base. 90% of the folks I have talked to are very unhappy, pompous people who feel like the world owes them, well, the world.
"Omg, your catalog department doesn't have this dress in paprika red in women's size 18 petite?? What is wrong with you people? I want you to find it now! I want it sent overnight to me, and I want free shipping and a 30% discount, an apology letter, and a $25 dollar gift coupon for my agony! And by the way, your clothes are tacky, ugly, and I will never shop here again!"
Please, if you are that unhappy, DON'T shop with us again! I'm sure the store associates that dealt with you would love to tell you not to let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
This is just one incident of hundreds I have dealt with over the past year.
Another ridiculous one: I had a lady I spoke with one day that was going on a trip across the country by air. She had walked into one of our stores in Missouri with an armload of clothes she wanted US to ship to SanFran for her because she didn't want to pay the postage to mail them herself. They were clothes she had purchased on several different days, spanning from November to February. She was furious when I told her it was not our responsibility to ship her wardrobe across the country for her.
Really, ya'll. And they call us gen Y'er's the ME generation??
Here is a video I think these selfish folks need to watch [thanks to Emily for sharing]

Gives you hell.... really awful stuff to do to real assholes.
here we go off the top of my head... the most immature pranks one can do to a real jerk off!!
1. get that chinese food thats been fermenting in your fridge for 2 weeks and dump in on their front stoop.
2. collect your child or nephew's shitty diapers and smear them on the windshield of their vehicle.
3. eat some hard provolone cheese and straight garlic, wash it down with some cheap beer, corner them and start talking right up in their face so they can't stand it anymore.
4. get some fish on clearance at the grocery store in the summertime, and put in under the seat of their car.
5. slip about 5 crushed up exlax in their drink.
6. go to Walmart, and get on the intercom, and shout into it, "attention walmart shoppers, [insert name here] is a raging fecalphiliac. thank you."
7. sneak into their office while they're on vacation, and tape up pictures of folks dressed up as furries all over the walls
8. take a big dump in the bathroom at work and stop up the toilet real good when you know its their turn to clean it.
9. at christmas, get some cat shit and mix it up with brownie batter, bake it, and cut it up and put sprinkles on it to make it look real nice and put it in a decorative tin and mail it to them, with the return address being from their grandma.1
0. if they're your roommate, have someone shave their chest hairs and order a pizza. very carefully remove the cheese from the pizza, and spread the chest hair over the crust and sauce evenly, and put the cheese back on. then leave it in the fridge.

I love my project playlist account. You can make a buttload of playlists off a huge search engine of music, listen to it off your PC and not have to pay for it. This is great for me because though I have the crappies computer known to man, I have a great sound system with it. I have archived playlists on there from over a year ago.
