this is the thread where you get to list things that you think should be banned (not people, not posters, not anything other than things)

I think that iced lattes should be banned........coffee should be hot, if you want cold caffeine buy a soda pop!

low rise pants -- the kind you have to shave to wear-- should be banned.

they look good on virtually no one.

Commercials that include any of the following phrases:

1) "Ask your doctor if (Drug-du-Jour) is right for you."

2) "Call your doctor right away if you experience priapism."

3) "Free credit report offer applies with enrollment in Triple Advantage."

All of these are tools of Satan and must be eliminated!

I think sexual deviance should be banned.

Not because I don't like LGBTs (considering I am one... and I'm not into self-hating. That's for teh week.), but I think it's something people might riot over. I've always wanted to be part of a riot.

Yes, definitely. Althought I give them props for running follow-ups that cut off that aggravating phrase and have someone come out and say, "Head-On, I hate your commercial . . . but I love your product."

I pictured this commercial as an evil reincarnation of the original Anacin commercial from way back when, the one that went, "For FAST FAST FAST relief, get Anacin."

They are hideous, and make you look like a dolt.

Unless you're a carpenter, then you can wear them at work or something, even though you should find an alternative if you can because they don't stop being hideous because they're on a carpenter...

Iced tea. While I do quite like lemon iced tea, when I go to America they have NO idea how to make proper tea. You don't provide a mug of hot water with a teabag! It doesn't work like that! You need to put the teabag in first!

What else. Hrm.

Christian TV channels, with their terrible programming and terrible production values.

Those Evangelical speech things where the Pastor gets up on stage, pretends to heal people, and then takes their money. I honestly cannot fathom why this isn't already illegal.

Really, that's your objection to American tea-making? Not the fact that it's in a bag, not 'real' tea one of those teaballs?

I mean, really, it's more 50-50 over whether someone puts the bag or water in first... (I go bag first, personally.)

There is a formula for making perfect tea, and Americans (particularly outside cities, which have improved recently thanks to tourism from the UK and elsewhere) often get it wrong.

The teabag MUST be placed in the cup before pouring boiling water over it. The milk MUST be poured in before the water. The teabag MUST not stay in the water longer than a minute. It MUST not be too sweet, and it MUST not be too bitter or you've made it wrong. I've had tea served by Americans where all of this was wrong, simply because many Americans don't realise that it's important for the flavour.

I believe in this example you have confused carpenter pants with camouflage pants. Not a hard mistake to miss, both begin with C, but there is a very noticeable difference in bonability of a chick in carpenter pants and a chick in camouflage pants.
