All the girls I know seem to like the hills and the O.C. while I have made a bet with my friend that if all the actors and writes of those shows all die at the same time I will become a fundamentalist christian.

I seem to be the only person on this planet who realizes that celebrities and actors, the people we misguidedly enshrine, are no better than the rest of us, have done nothing to actually make our society better (some would say they are making it worse) and in the end, will die the same lonely death as the rest of us.
But it might become one.Cuniculus said:
Everybody else reads the headlines and thinks they know what's going on. See above.

What drives me fucking insane is when I see people getting all excited about THE LATEST CELEBRITY NEWS! I really could not care any less if Brittany Spears shaved her head. So what?
Also, the media. They're useful for getting info across, but they seriously need to keep their noses out of other people's business.
For example, I get the Charlotte Observer, and one of the stories they ran was of a child that was 14 years old and already weighed 550 pounds. Like someone needs to know that? How in the hell are they helping this kid? By showing his full name and showing pictures of him, yeah, thats gonna get him more friends. Great fucking job media. Not to mention that business with the boy with cancer.

Seriously people paying attention to celebrity news, right in front of me there is a magazine (bought by my mother, not me) informing me that kate hudson lost a dress size in seven days... WHY?! Who would possibly care about that?! WHO?!
Also people thinking that the word "weight" is interchangeable with "mass", IT IS NOT. Kilograms is a measure of MASS damn you! WEIGHT is measured in Newtons!!
I swear I'm the only person within a 5 kilometer radius that who's idea of fun isn't getting really drunk
I have never used the term "gay" to insult people, only objects, or events; like in a game when the camera keeps killing me... that's gay. *cough*Sonic*cough*AlphaOmega said:

Anyway,here's the list of things that make me think that i'm the only sane person on Earth.
[rant] First off,celebreties. They're not important at all,despite what everybody believes. Corrupt or incompetent politicians having actual influence on our lives. Generally everything else that is on TV. Utterly retarded FANBOYS (especially video gaming ones). Stupid console wars. Neo-nazis. People who still belive communism is a good idea. I can go on and on... I actually think sometimes,and as a thinking man,this stupidity all over the world frustrates me to no end. [/rant]
EDIT: Also rap,greedy corporations,fashion,people who try to stop the progress... I said i can go on and on.

1) People that can't be bothered to use capitalization, punctuation, and the best grammar they've got. What's so hard about hitting the shift key? Or the period or comma?
2) Reality TV. Just... No.
3) Celebrity gossip and anything pertaining to celebrity news. I don't give a damn about other people unless their lives have a direct effect... affect? Whatever. Unless it has something to do with me or my friends I really don't care.
4) Drug use, drinking, smoking, none of these things are "cool". They're a sign of a weak minded individual desperately grabbing for something to try and make themselves feel better.
5) People that can't give up one of the above. Just. Stop. Buying. The. Shit. It won't be a problem anymore if you don't have it to smoke/inject/drink/whateverelseyoudowithitIdon'twanttoknow.

Everyone seems to like what everyone else likes, after they have stated they like it, even when it isn't true.
Example:
Me: I do not like the Artic Monkeys
Friend 1: Oh I love them why don't you like them? There's nothing not to like /rants
You're so weird for not liking them
Friend's boyfriend (Later): I hate the artic monkeys they're rubbish and over rated.
Friend: I totally agree. They're awful.
Me: Wtf.
