Would you like some cheese and crackers with your whine?

The word wine is intentionally mis-spelled up there because it’s not intended to refer to the alcoholic beverage. It’s meant to refer to the word “whine”. As in people bitching and whining about whatever suits them.

I’ve been sitting back and watching the news the last little while and everytime I turn around, someone is bitching and complaining about something. Right now for Canadians, it’s the whole Paul Martin endorsement scandal and people are throwing huge fits about it.

And talk about over-reacting, let’s look at the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake titty incident. With all due respect, who gives a flying fuck about it? Holy frig are people over reacting to this crap. I mean, ok, whether it was a stunt or an accident, who cares. I even read recently that because of the whole titty thing, NYPD Blue may stop showing bare asses on television. I mean for fuck sakes, they’ve been doing it for years and now all of a sudden it’s a huge deal?

When the hell are people going to learn to calm the hell down and stop freaking out about every tiny little useless event that happens. Oh guess what? I took a huge shit this morning. I imagine someone’s pretty upset about that. I bet you any time now someone will be on the news talking about how I had a huge shit and they won’t stand for it as it’s clogging up too many drains and causing too much pollution and that I, among others, should stop shitting. I’d stop but then I’d die. Oh wait. That would probably upset someone too. Can’t die because then blah blah blah.

It’s like you can’t win anyway. Once things settle, someone else does something incredibly stupid and yet another group of lamess fucks decide that it’s a huge deal and start screaming and yelling like ranging idiots with nothing better to do with their time. Yeah ok, I bitch and complain myself about various things but you know what, I don’t beat a dead horse. Hell, most of these people are shooting the dead horse after it’s carcass has already rotted and the flies have eaten whatever is left. Are people that pathetic that they have the complain about everything.

I think one of the most amusing things about all of this is that it’s always a small handful of people that throw a fit about something silly and they get all of these other people all worked up about it and by the time the whole thing has blown over, the small crowd feels like they’ve won a war, and the rest of us are like, wtf were we so upset about. Sometimes it makes me wonder if there are people out there who specifically look for things to stir shit up about and then when they get the opportunity, they make a mess of things, and then sit back and revel in the chaos they’ve ensued.

I wish people would learn to shut the hell up and be a little bit more mature about how the world is. Frig sakes!

So there, I’ve had my say.
