Top Ten Downers of the Decade

You want to know what sucks? How about these things:

#1: Talented people dying because of dumb reasons. Too much prescriptions drugs......Freak Accidents......Other random mean.....it's safe to say that peoples careers are being cut too short because of the wrong reasons.

#2: 9/11. This was a horrible tragedy that occurred. But the fallout from it has been haunting the country for the past several years and was much more damaging then the initial event itself. This was our the loss of our innocence for our generation. 

#3: Celebrities getting known for their antics verses their talent. When we look back at of the celebrity meltdowns of the past decade it seems we tend to value and encourage these behaviors more then what they should be known for. This has led to a bunch of.....

#4: Pointless reality shows. Especially those dedicated to some douchebag or douchebaggette trying to find their "true love". You take some skanky B-list star and then try to have him find "love" among a dozen of whore mongering wannabe actors or actresses. And the losers of this "competition"? They get their own shows. Bleh.

#5: The Prequel Star Wars Trilogies. Stiff acting. Bad CGI comic relief. Poor writing. I will admit when these movies came out that  I liked them. But not for the above reason. They were visually good movies that had potential that was never discovered because none of Lucas's closest friends or advisors had the balls to tell the man he was making crap.

#6: The loss of literacy. I feel bad for future generations. With the internet being such a amazing resource there is a big downside to this. If I was a teenager, why would I spend a week to read a book when I can just look up the plot and ending online and get the results instantly? I feel concerned that with access to the end results that no one will learn the patience you get from reading nor do you learn the context of how you get there.

#7: Buffalo Wild Wings not having Smokey Southwestern sauce anymore. Yes, it's nowhere as near as grand as the others but I really liked that sauce.

#8: Great shows being cancelled or cut short because: No one gives them a shot, Networks don't support them and give the shows bad time slots; Or these great shows require thinking or a much more clever line of thought. At least Lost and Battlestar Galalctica have been able to seen it through to the end.

#9: Greedy Business fucking over others and then when they start to fall apart they ask the Government to bail them out. It's hard to become rich without screwing someone over. And while executives still collect bonuses, the smaller people in the equation either lose their jobs or the government is still waiting to get paid back from the money they gave to save the business in the first place.

#10: The loss of a son.
