Turning our daughters into whores

I don't even have a daughter and this pisses me off.

Gripe #1: Bratz dolls. Why not call them Slutz? That's what they are. I've seen more tastefully dressed women in strip clubs. Whatever happened to the classy dolls like Barbie? Remember the fancy gowns and dresses they came with? Now it's mini skirts and tube tops.

Gripe #2: Pants with words on the ass. Really? This is fashion?? No one sees a problem with a 12 year old girl with the word HOT across the back of her pants?? Why does it have to go on the ass? There is no other reason besides drawing attention to something that does not need attention drawn to it. And we wonder why kids are having sex in middle school. They don't stand a chance. The shit is shoved in their face all day every day.

Gripe #3: MTV. There is so much wrong with this channel I don't know where to begin. First of all how long can you continue to call yourself Music Television when there is no music involved. Secondly, the shows on MTV promote such a horrible message. The worst of all is My Super Sweet 16. These snotty little skanks get insanely expensive parties thrown for them and then bitch the whole time about how everything is being ruined because the parents won't spend ALL of their money. Their reality dating shows are no better though. First off it's so obvious that they are scripted. Watch Parental Control one time and tell me you disagree. Maybe it's just me but most people don't speak in sexual innuendos and one liners. I hate MTV!

Gripe #4: Britney Spears. Why won't she go away?? I don't want to completely single her out because she's not the only culprit here. People like Jessica Simpson let the girls of this country know that it's okay to be a complete moron as long as you are pretty and Paris Hilton proved that you can become famous by getting nailed on tape. But Britney is on an entirely different level. And this goes back to MTV because they made her. Mix 1 part sexual exploitation with 2 parts shitty parenting and you get Britney Spears. I think the entire family should be rounded up and shot into space. I pity the daughters though. Their parents fucked Britney's life up so bad what chance did her little sister stand? I'm surprised it took her this long to get knocked up.

I usually like to make my posts more humorous but there's nothing funny about the messages being sent to the young women in this country. Ok the Spears family saga is sorta funny sometimes. It's not like I'm some conservative church goer. I have nothing against sex, violence or vulgar language but children are being robbed of their childhood. They go from toddler directly to teenager. And it's far worse for girls.

Bitchin about gas prices

First off I am so sick of this topic. I can't go through a single day with out someone bringing up the price of gas. Unless we are all going to get together as a nation and stop driving then shut the hell up. The other day though I met a man who wins my award for "Douche of the Week". This guy stayed at the hotel in which I work. He came to the desk to check out in the morning and starts bitching about the price of gas. I was about to respond to him when I looked outside and saw what he was driving. A friggin Hummer. Sorry asshole but if you are going to buy a big SUV(superbly useless vehicle) then your right to bitch about gas prices is revoked. Here is a fact(by fact I mean I made it up): If every Hummer switched to a hybrid there would be a lot less assholes in the world. This jerk off is like Hitler saying there aren't enough Jews in the world. Some good news about Hummers. GM is working on an alternative fuel source for these vehicles. By 2011 every Hummer will run on a mixture of gasoline and their owner's need for attention.

I'd also like to let everyone out there know that a gas station attendant making minimum wage does not decide how much we pay for gas. I worked at a gas station for awhile and people acted like my last name was Exxon. It's not like I was walking up to people's cars in an Armani suit, Rolex and some platinum rings, laughing hysterically as I watched myself get richer with every gallon I pumped.

And another thing! Here's a message to all states/cities that have laws against self serve gas stations. PISS OFF! This lady from Jersey came to my hotel and was telling me how she lost her gas cap because when she got to PA she had to pump her own gas and wasn't used to it. She then said that she thought it was great to have full service because it creates job. First off all there is nothing to get used to when it comes to pumping gas. You take the gas cap off then put it back on when you are done. If she had to put windshield washer fluid in her car would she open the hood, pour it in then drive around all day with the hood still up? Second of all being a gas pumper is one of the worst jobs. People treat you like shit. Old ladies pull up and want you to check their tire pressure, check their oil, rebuild their engines. Then they hand you 30 fucking cents and tell you to get a soda pop. OK LADY. Lemme hop in my time machine and travel back to 1950 so I can get me a soda pop. And as far as it creating jobs BIG DEAL. There are lots of jobs out there. Do you know why people are unemployed? Because they are LAZY! I have seen this at every job I've had. It's nearly impossible to find competent employees no matter how simple the position. Ok I'm ending this because I'm getting more pissed and completely off topic.
