Entertainment Weekly just came up with a slideshow of things they hate, and though I think ‘hate’ is a very strong word, I strongly dislike many of these things as well. Here’s the quick rundown:
- Paris Hilton all over the news.
- The overuse of that damn KT Tunstall song.
- When TV shows end at 10:02 p.m., 11:03 p.m., etc.
- Something about The Bachelor I don’t care about.
- Peter Parker’s emo haircut.
- Threequels.
- Something about Katie Couric I don’t care about.
- ‘Upsizing” sales tactics at the concession stand.
- Overdone reality show orchestration.
- Teenage stars who talk about how they’ve been waiting their entire lives for a moment like this.
- Stars who insist they hate paparazzi while courting them by showing up at places like the Ivy.
- Something about Dancing With the Stars I don’t care about.
- When TV shows are based in cold places, yet no one is sufficiently bundled up.
- Music videos where [Your singer here] romps around in white sheets on a bed, looking all moody and in love.
- The fact that Kate Winslet does not have an Oscar.
- The word pitchy.
- Athletes who rap.
- Foreign characters speaking to each other in accented English, in lieu of subtitles.
- The 2007 MTV Movie Award for the Best Summer Movie We Haven’t Seen Yet.
- Something about Guns & Roses I don’t care about.
- People outrunning fireballs.
- Actors sitting in the audience at awards shows, trying to joke with the host.
- Reality shows about mundane professions.
- Movie trailers in which an explosion cuts off profanity.
- TV shows without commercial interruptions.
