Team Fortress 2 - its a sorry excuse for a team fortress game.

Facebook - how did that site ever get popular?

Katy Perry - her singing makes me want to throw up.

Neckbeard and TridenT.


Oh you said popular... In that case: Splenda, GA Tech, hyundai, abercrombie, holister, jcpenney, dell, garmin, D-Link, MS SQL, ruby tuesday, olive garden, panasonic, and Nikon.

I have more but this MS SQL database is acting up.

Oh my goodness YES. I can't stand olive garden, people go on and on about their bread sticks, which are just a bread-like substance dripping in fat and salt. Its nasty.
Their food tastes like its been heated up in a microwave and given an extra few kgs of salt for good measure, and its priced way way way too high (its PASTA I can buy a pound of it for 99 cents, so why am I paying $15 for this crap?). The only redeeming thing is their salad is pretty tasty, but seriously, its a salad.

Conformist?

It's actually the opposite of conformism. Here in ATOT it is very popular to hate on what others 'out there' think are popular. I dislike this practice.

I 'hate' a lot of things, but not because they're popular (or unpopular).

So let's make it a little tougher - what are things that (in your estimation) much of ATOT likes, but you don't like?

I mentioned two - Chik-fil-A and Team Fortress 2.

Also Dead Rising, Chuck Norris jokes, and Mad Men.

TF2 is a good one. i usually love multiplayer FPSs, CS and L4D are 2 of my all time favorite games. but i just couldnt get into TF. You are off base on CFA though, it is a rung above other fast food!

Everything. Just about.
If its popular its probably stupid. People like shit these days and I dont like shit.
So pretty much all pop-culture stuff. Games, shows, movies, music, actors, most political ideas.

Gun rights are not popular so its OK for me to like them.
