It's on TV. It's on the radio. It's in the papers and on the 'Net.

WHO ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT?!?

What?

I am sick and tired of hearing about American Idol, I DON'T CARE ABOUT SOME DAMN KAROKE CONTEST!

Well, I don't watch tv, and the only radio I really listen to (and even this is rare) is sports radio, so what I'm sick of hearing are the people who are acting like Barry Bonds's steroid use somehow cheapens his chase of the home run record, as though he was the first person ever to seek an advantage. The hypocrisy is stunning to me.

Where is the "all of the above" option?

I'll take that a step farther and say that I'm tired of updates on these shows--and even some dramatic shows--being written up as news and placed on the front pages of news websites. If I wanted to know what happened on "Desperate Housewives," I'd have watched the fucking show.

Where is the "all of the above" option?

So very true.

:gundge:
:eek: :mp5:
:sniper:
DIE STUPID OVERPAID ECONOMIC PARASITES!!! :upyours:

Where is the "all of the above" option?

I concur, sir. There needs to be a "all these jackasses need to be dropped in a volcano" option.

The immigration issue.

Nothing can make you sicker than another round of ......Natalee Hollaway:eek: news pieces...

The entire celebrity worship fanatacism in total. I am not impressed.

Where is the "all of the above" option?

You beat me too it! :gundge:

I really agree, its time that the media find something else to talk about. Hasn't Robert Downey Jr. gotten busted for drugs lately? Something new people!

I concur, sir. There needs to be a "all these jackasses need to be dropped in a volcano" option.
I'd prefer a death match, with the winner allowed to be media-whores for the next 6 months, until the next round.
Sort of like an ultimate survivor series.

How Great 'Grays Anatomy' is i say Bullshit!
How Great 'Desperate Housewives' is i say Bullshit!

Where is the all of them button?

I'd prefer a death match, with the winner allowed to be media-whores for the next 6 months, until the next round.

I disagree. Because if we do it your way, we STILL have to hear from one of them for six months. And of course, they would have promo's for the death match for six months ahead of time. And all the pre-match analysis. And the post-match breakdown and analysis. And every six months, we get a new champion- and there will be months comparing that media whore to the last one, and second guessing about if they were up against runners up from previous matches would they have still won, and people saying we need a championship round for mega-mega media whore, and the promos, analysis, and breakdowns for that and so on.

My way= lava

Feed the winner poison mushroom pizza at the victory party.


Especially if it's Tom Cruise and his brainwashed zombie of a baby making life partner. The spawn of theirs might still be human though, so test it first before feeding it the poisoned mushroom pizza

Fuck Tom Cruise. Fuck him so fucking much. Fuck.

But your way gives only fleeting satisfaction and enjoyment.
My way, you get to see the smug bastards suffer for several weeks.
I think having a game show similar to that weird freaky-ass Japanese one they used to show a few years ago - where they'd peg them upside down out in the hot sun and stuff chillis up their noses or make them think they were in a pit with alligators - would be best.
Except in this one, the alligators would be real and the chilli would be this stuff (http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/blairs-16-million-product-review/).

LOL. You do realise that the very existance of this thread perpetuates the high amount of attention payed to celebraties it was designed to combat. Tasty tasty irony. Oh and I agree with demented hampsters, just the idea of a huge orgy of celebrity violence sends shivers down my spine. :p

I'm sick to death of people bitching about the lack of an "all of the above" option.

John 'two shags' Prescot

I am sick of hearing about this revolting man and his sordid sex life...it makes me heave to think of his secretary giving him oral sex behind the OPEN office door...yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk

I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! But I woke this morning to the 'Today Programe' and yepper...John Prescot...YUK YUK YUK

American Idol needs to burn....

You know, he had thought about getting rid of those shags altogether ... but then he'd be John "no shags" Prescot.

American Idol needs to burn....
Nooo! Here in NZ (we're behind you in the series I guess) there's still a really hot chick. So until she is voted off, there shall be no such burning.

hah, it helps if you utterly ignore popular culture... like watching no TV (or at least only BBC with no adverts), not getting magazines, getting all your news from the web, not talking to people about this kind of "entertainment news" shit. i live in my own little bubble, blissfully unaware of all this crap, thank you :) (ok i occasionally stumble across it by accident but really relatively little)

in actuality im sick of all of these freaks.. but it s not the medias fault. its all of thease retard mtv genration pop people. i dont even watch news any more. i get it from the web or am radio.network news is all about commercials and hollywood stars.ohh look george clooney jammed his ass with a butt plug, so his farts dont destroy the earths atmosphere. there are thousands of poor orphan children in america, but angelina the incest queen has choosen some kid from who knows were....

I make a concerted effort to stay well away from celebrity news. On the odd occasion where it's unavoidable (eg. TV on in pubs etc), I become sick of hearing of just about everyone listed in the poll (and others besides) very quickly.

...erm, don't you mean "Turner" about that hole-plug thingie?

It's on TV. It's on the radio. It's in the papers and on the 'Net.

WHO ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT?!?You should have made that poll multiple choice...

I demand an "All of the Above" option.

I wish there was an option to select ALL...but in the absence of that I will say that I am tired of all the coverage on Britney, the Simpsons...Hilton...ergh!

American Idol, Tom Cruise, and everything else comes in a VERY close second.

Aye, me too. I make a concerted effort to stay well away from celebrity news. On the odd occasion where it's unavoidable (eg. TV on in pubs etc), I become sick of hearing of just about everyone listed in the poll (and others besides) very quickly.
absolutely - when you do stray into contact with it, it all does become very tiresome, very quickly... and also brings up the distain and reasons why one avoids it in the first place (ie. i get angry :p)

like round at glitziness' house - i don't watch much TV as it is, and when i do it tends to be BBC2 (no adverts), so watching Sky is a whole new level of fun round there... it just takes Chantelle (http://www.fakefaces.co.uk/modules/zPersonals/image/2612.jpg) (worst of the lot if you ask me) to come on screen advertising her latest celebrity whatever and i'm off on another angry rant :D
god forbid we hover too long on a rap or pop music channel while hopping through to find some decent music (woo Scuzz!)... that just ends in tears :p

I only like hearing about celebrities if they're being made fun of, and even then it can get boring.

woo Scuzz!
Indeed.

Fuck Tom Cruise. Fuck him so fucking much. Fuck.

Fuckin' A.

It should be "du jour" not "de jure"

Personally, I'm sick of all of them except American Idol, but I love that show, so bleh. This is why I don't watch the news anymore. :p

this should be a multiple choice poll!

All of the above?

You know, he had thought about getting rid of those shags altogether ... but then he'd be John "no shags" Prescot.

I bet he is John 'No shags' Prescot at HIS house.......

I am sick of hearing about TV shows on the news, I am tired of hearing about the same stories over and over and over. (the Duke thing is pretty big here, and every 10 minutes they break into programing to tell you the same damn thing they told you 2 weeks ago, same JJ sound clip and everything :mad:)

More of a regional thing, I hate the weather forcasters around here, everytime there is any rain at all in the state, they overreact, and then show old videos (some more than 10 years old) about tornados, and go through the whole disaster plan. I know when a storm is capable of tornados, but a lot of people don't, all of this "OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!" over a simple spring rain, which most of the time doesn't even have lightening or thunder.......it's like crying wolf, and when there is a storm that we need to pay attention to, nobody is going to care, nobody is going to pay attention, and people are going to die. :(

In England, weather reporters probably find themselves reporting rain in their sleep.

All of it.

All of it can fuck off and die.

Then shut the fuck up.
Just take it all away.

I can see you singing that as the Eurovision entry this year......*nods

Everyone

I am tired of hearing about Kellie Picklier, I live near Albemarle, NC and ugh!!! :headbang:

I can't wait till these stupid American Idols stars realize they're just a flash in the pan fad and realize that American Idol was nothing more than a karoke contest and that in 5 years, no one will give a rats ass.

I would be sick of pop-culture in general, if I bothered to pay it any attention.

Pretty much every celebritie who is regularly mentioned.

I would be sick of pop-culture in general, if I bothered to pay it any attention.This would go for me as well.

I bet he is John 'No shags' Prescot at HIS house.......
Prescot:...This shag business, it doesn't really matter at all, the shags aren't important. It's just a few friends call me Two Shags and that's all there is to it. I wish you'd ask me about my music. I'm a composer. People always ask me about the shags, they've got it out of proportion, I'm fed up with the shag, I wish I'd never got it in the first place.
Third Interviewer: I expect you are probably thinking of selling one.
Prescot: I will sell one.
Third Interviewer: Then you'll be John 'No Shags' Prescot?
Prescot: Look, forget about the shags. They don't matter.
Third Interviewer: Mr. Prescot, I think, with respect, we ought to talk about your symphony.

Edit: WHOM

I'm sick and tired of George Clooney. I'm not sure why he's famous in the first place. He's not that hot, people!

I'm sick and tired of George Clooney. I'm not sure why he's famous in the first place. He's not that hot, people!
He's got a hot pot-bellied pig, though.
And giant tattoos "suit" him.

While I can understand why people wouldn't want to hear about the dumb blondes, the idea is to watch tv in order to see them, which is the whole reason why we know about them in the first place, because they look good.

I rarely hear anything about Cruise, Clooney, or Jolie; and the American Idol crowd does get under my skin a little cuz the contest should be about who can sing and not about who is hot and who's not. But it seems everywhere I turn I see something about one of the blonde sluts: Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton (makes me vomit at the name), etc. I just simply can't stand them! ((shudders)) Ughh! :eek:

...because they look good.

But they don't. They look horrible. They're only known because they're rich and make stupid names for themselves.

I've always thought that Paris Hilton looks like either a bird or someone who got punched in the face and it got stuck.:headbang:

But they don't. They look horrible. They're only known because they're rich and make stupid names for themselves.More specifically, I find that they look incredibly slimy, with all their makeup (making their faces look like they were made of somewhat oily rubber) and incredibly stupid grins. (those, specifically, I truly hate. supposedly, they are to look nice and attractive when distorting their faces into such horrendously slimy grins. myself, I find them about as attractive as a maggot-filled, half-rotten corpse would be)

American Idol.
I don't watch it but my sisters do.
Some stupid Celebrity Dancing show that is on also.

You should have made that poll multiple choice...

I thought about it, but realized that most people would check everything.

As it stands, I'm amazed that George Clooney is doing so poorly... I expected him to be at least half as despised as American Idol!

The extent of my French is "coup de ville" and a song by Abba.

Fortunately, I live in Connecticut and not Canada, so I can butcher the language with aplomb and full legality. ;)

There should be an "All of the Above" choice.

It's on TV. It's on the radio. It's in the papers and on the 'Net.

WHO ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT?!?

Global warming.

well tom cruise related news is often accompanied by a picture of katie holmes, and she is fit so its ok. and Angelina is also rather fetching. I havent heard or seen anything about american idol. perhaps the contestants are unattractive.

You forgot all off the above.

But for now Tom Cruise. I am not going to see MI 3. Don't have a desire to see it; don't care. Might rent it but that is about it.

People making movies out of every fucking thing ever thought of, including wonderful works of literature. Haven't they ever heard of "leaving it up to your imagination"?

I propose that we mount a concerted campaign to render "popular culture" unpopular.

Not "French" dressing, "French fries", "french toast", "french kiss" - whoa sorry about that last one - i might be overestimating you ... ;)

Oh, and I like Caesar or blue cheese. :D

Where is the "all of the above" option?

Ditto.

Why no "all of the above" option?
