    I don't give a fuck that you don't give a fuck about liberal celebrities, but spent a bunch of time to post their pictures because you don't care about them.

    You posted that unprompted. It's in your mind, Dools. Escape is quite impossible.

    One that has been mentioned ...

    Charlie Sheen -- Why does anyone care what whore/porn star is wrapping her lips around his cock? He has was a Grade-A actor for an extraordinarily brief period in the late 80s, and since then, has done a lot of horseshit and bad TV. This is one small part of a bigger category ...

    Obsession With What Celebrities Are Doing, Who They're Banging and Whether They're Dying -- Unless they're doing something off-the-charts bizarre or funny ... like shoving a light bulb up their dog's ass on LSD or having sex with their vacuum -- I really couldn't care less.

    And I don't mean to sound cold, but I really don't care who's dying of what. Liz Taylor is apparently dying. Surprise, surprise, she's almost 80 years old. I enjoy some of her work, but this impacts my life not one iota. Related to this ...

    How Much Money Famous Person-X Makes -- Another thing that doesn't affect my life at all. Athletes, actors. Don't care. I also love the retort when you're debating the merits of someone famous and someone on the other side of the argument says, "Well, they make more money than you!" That's nice, but I couldn't give two fucks, and they make more money than you do too.

    Pre-NFL Draft coverage, drafts in general and recruiting hype -- When did sports become as much about its table-setting aspects as the game itself? The pre-NFL Draft coverage is, by far, the worst. Two months of horseshit 40 times and mock drafts about players that haven't proven a fucking thing at the level they aspire to. When they get on the field, then I'll start assessing them. Until then, it's all bullshit designed to fill a TV slot or to create web copy.

    Recruiting hype and interest in recruiting makes dumbasses of nearly all collegiate fans. It goes like this ...

    Fan: So-and-so is a five-star/blue chip recruit!
    Me: Says who?
    Fan: Says Rivals!
    Me: Who's doing the ratings on Rivals?
    Fan: I don't know, but it says so on Rivals!

    The accuracy of those star ratings makes the pre-NFL Draft soothsaying seem Nostradamus like in comparison.

    Not only that, it sets the bar of expectation for fans, and unfortunately, for many in the media too. If so-and-so doesn't live up to some random star rating in their collegiate career, they're deemed a bust, even though the star-rating itself was probably bullshit to begin with.

    This isn't true, but that's fine.

    I don't give two shits that Bubbler doesn't give a fuck that I spent a ton of time to post those pictures.

    Although, I do kind of have a crush on Barbra Streisand. ..

    I don't give a rat's ass that Big Ragu doesn't give two shits about me not giving a fuck about those pix. :D

    I don't care about this feud. But what the hell? It's more entertaining than 90 percent of what's on TV.

    A few others:

    * National Signing Day (Why should I give a fuck where a kid goes to college. I've never seen the kid play, so I how do I know if the kid is any good?)

    * Sarah Palin (Unless she's naked)

    * NFL predictions (It always comes down to turnovers and injuries)

    * Toys that come out before animated movies. (There was a time where a movie was a movie. Now, it's just a hour and a half-long toy commercial.

    * The sponsors of NASCAR drivers (Ooh, they just mentioned their gearbox supplier when they were interviewed after finishing 31st! I'm going out right now and buying a bunch of gearboxes by Acme)

    * Women makeover shows (All they ever do is chop off their hair anyways)
