things you would like to see die off or disappear

[Oyeve]

90% of the people on AT.

To OP:
I agree, somewhat. I am a masculine man. I do not tweet.

However, after recently having my wife explain the hashtags and how you can search what's buzzing, I think the concept is really cool. I just wish it had a different name.

My answer for your question:
In many ways, I wish the news media didn't exist. They push views and fears on people to sell advertising and gain viewers. It's just as destructive as it is helpful. Politics portrayed on the news, which is merely commentary by actors and idiots is the basis for polarization of the nation. Jon Stewart believes this as well....he despises Fox News, but feels the same way about CNN.

This is great...if you haven't seen it, watch....

Commercials and just about any form of advertisement.
And of course JEWS!!!

I'll jump on the social media hate wagon. Enough with hashtagging your whole damn life. My cousin hashtags every single Facebook post with #loveit #fitlife #skydivingchick. I fantasize about replying with #fuckyourhashtagsandyourface.

I also hate ticks.

 

[BikeJunkie]

Oh yeah, and the Kardashians. They can seriously get fucked by a planet and die.

Pics of your cousin?

Seriously any asshole that claims they can talk to the dead. Hate those fake psychic douches.

apple fanatics

SUV's driven my soccer mom's (sorry you don't need a big Chevy Suburban to take your one kid to school every day)

Nancy Grace

The NBC Olympic coverage. (you know how bad it is, a typical hour is 30 minutes of commercials, 20 minutes of "stories" 5 minutes listening to the announcers ramble, and 5 minutes of actual sports coverage, but all on tape delay)

award shows. We should only slightly care about the Oscars, Emmy's, and Grammys. All the rest flush down the crapper.

Cable company monopolies in certain areas. I want a choice of FIOS, Cable, Satellite, Google, and whatever other company that wants to give me high speed internet and TV services. Also no contracts!

 

[IronWing]

Those label stickers used to seal the top of CD cases

Ads for products addressing any bodily function that takes place between the belly button and the knees or between the tip of the nose and the brain. We don't need to hear about this stuff.

No shit, and add that blowhard grandstanding windbag Costas to the list.

Damn I forgot to mention Costas. So true, he needs a serious STFU slap to the face.

 

[SamQuint]

one more thing, Blister packaging.

 

[z1ggy]

Wet farts.

 

[Raduque]

Things that need to die:
Instagram
Pintrist
People who use #hashtags on anything that's not Twitter or Instagram
People who use #hashtags in real life
Miley Cyrus
Justin Beiber and his fans

 

[AViking]

Plankton

Grass

Trees

Leafy Plants

Do you even see the irony here?

 

[SaurusX]

Stick figure families

 

[ultimatebob]

Fox News and MSNBC.

Then put CNN on notice that they will also be "disappeared" if they ever bring in partisan hacks again.

Oh, and fire Piers Morgan. I hate that guy

 

[Dman8777]

"This email was sent from my tablet/smartphone/dildo using tapatalk" messages. Where the message came from doesn't interest me, nor does how it was written. Should I append a line at the end of my email signature that says "This email was sent from my computer using a keyboard" ??

The NBC Olympic coverage. (you know how bad it is, a typical hour is 30 minutes of commercials, 20 minutes of "stories" 5 minutes listening to the announcers ramble, and 5 minutes of actual sports coverage, but all on tape delay)

This! Seriously... they should execute anyone who creates or shows an "overcoming adversity" story about an Olympic athlete that takes longer than the event itself!

 

[purbeast0]

people saying "AXE" instead of "ASK".

people saying "FUSTRATED" instead of "FRUSTRATED".

[Sonikku]

Parasites that leech off the blood from a tongue and cause atrophy until it falls off at which time it latches on and replaces the tongue.

 

[Perknose]

The Supreme Court as presently constituted. Way too arrogant and out of touch. Case in point: Below is a pic, possibly from some comic alternate universe, of Antonin Scalia, who believes the current SC robes just aren't majestic enough.

 

[sixone]

Assholes who chase off the good employees, then bitch endlessly about having to do their work, even though they're only giving it a half-assed effort.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Apple
