pants...you know what I mean...there is no purpose to them...they just constrain you...but yet when I express myself and liberate my comrades below suddenly its "indecent exposure" and I'm a "pervert"

Alright, after reading other posts and getting inspired, I have my new and updated list:

- Ugg boots
- big sunglasses
- hip-hop culture
- suburban moms wearing big sunglasses and driving large SUVs
- hipster culture
- emo culture
- Hollister/Abercrombie/etc making up entire wardrobes
- the "Green" movement
- Starbucks

Blogs. We used to call them forums. Now they are blogs. Podcasts. I hate podcasts. I dont know why, but I do.

Blogs != forums. Blogs generally have one or a few authors who update regularly (typically 1 - 7 times a week, but some are more extreme). Comments are typically opened to allow for discussion, but not every web page with comments is a forum.

One of my most hated fads is blog hatred. Saying you hate blogs is just silly because blogs are so incredibly varied that it's basically like saying you hate written content. There are high quality blogs for virtually any subject you could conceive of. Like programming? Check out Coding Horror or Joel on Software. Interested in science? Maybe you'll like arXiv blog, Neurologica or Bad Astronomy . Or maybe you're more interested in tech news, in which case Dvorak Uncensored or Tech Crunch might take your fancy.

All of these publications contain high-quality, well written and frequently updated news and commentary. Why would you auto-hate them just because they're "blogs"?

I meant the TERM "Blog". Sorry I didnt mention that. Just the word Blog.

Bah, ok then fair enough. I actually think it's a stupid word too.

"iAnything. What I really hate are not the ipod, iphones or iwhatever,"

I saw an "iSlice" in Publix the other day. Nothing even electrical, was an ordinary paper slicer. WTF?!!!!!

How about folks who don't wear their hat straight. GOD I hate that! What you wanna look like you got an attitude by displaying your gaudy hat incorrectly like everybody else?! Put some rhinestones on it and wear IOU shirts and Girbaud pants with pegged legs and put some lines in your hair like I did!

Oh yeah and anything related to the hip-hop culture - low pants with drawers hanging out, grillz, gold, bling, 22's (BTW saw a monster truck Caprice on what must have been 34's yesterday with draulics roll over in traffic cuz the genius driving it tried to take the turn too quick. Got out and helped him outta there.) rap, flow, battles, baby mommas, all that.

Giant "rock star" sunglasses on stupid girls. Shit giant rock star glasses on anybody.
