I hate America....

When I started this blog, way back in yesterday, I decided that I wasn't going to do anything political or religious. Now its not because I don't have the intellectual capacity to have such debates. It's more or less the fact that I don't feel like it. Political debates gets everybody riled up and next thing you know you are stabbing you're best friend with a prison style shank. So, this is not a post about why I hate America in a political sense. But why I hate America as a whole. And I am sure after you finish reading this you may hate America too.


Reason 1) Arrested Development was only on the air for 2 1/2 seasons


Premiering in November 2003, Arrested Development was a trailblazing comedy. Shot in a documentary style, it was taken out of the three piece sets of most sitcoms. The show followed the Bluth family right after their father and real estate kingpin was sent to prison for embezzlement. "Now whats so funny about that you" may wonder. Everything. And the best part was that there wasn't a studio audience that would mess up the flow of the show. Unfortunately, most Americans apparently need a laugh track so they know when to laugh. Thinking of the comedy gold that could have been provided seriously makes me want to cry. "But Anthony what about the Office. It sounds just like what you described." Shut up. The Office though funny couldn't touch Micheal Cera's jock strap if it wanted to. They basically stole the entire concept of that show from the British version. And lets be honest here, anything British deserves to be shot.

Reason 2) The WNBA still exists...



I am not a sexist, in fact I am all for equal rights. But, lets not kid ourselves here. The WNBA just sucks. It just isn't fun to watch. So, let's stop pretending that its going to work. It's been 10 years and the average attendance to a game is 8 thousand people. 10 years and a major tv deal and they still can't pull more then that. Hey, David Stern I am sorry but its about time to pull the plug. We don't want to watch solid fundamental basketball. If I wanted to watch that, I would go watch a high school game, where there is a better chance of a dunk happening. Now I am not against women's sports as a whole. I enjoy WPS and acutally think that they have a good business plan. I also feel that women's soccer is on par with men's soccer from a fan's perspective. But the WNBA doesn't have that feel. I think its about time the WNBA is taken out to the woods and put down.

Reason 3) Nobody watches hockey...


Hockey a pure game, passed down through the generations as a game of finesse, grit, determination, and mullets. A game that has gone untainted by steroids. Has fallen by the wayside in America. There are still some havens where teams pull respectable attendance; Detroit, Boston, and San Jose stand out. But elsewhere in the country attendance is down and television ratings are worse. I don't understand why America continues to not watch hockey. It is infinitely more entertaining then basketball. The NBA is so afraid of bad press that they suspend whoever gets a flagrant foul. Hell, in hockey not only is bare knuckle fighting practiced but its condoned. Teams hire players to be enforcers. Basically all they do is protect the star player by fighting on his behalf. It's seriously like a mafia mentality. Its awesome. Plus, hockey in HD is absolutely stunning. The way the ice just shines of the screen is purely majestic. In my opinion, hockey is one of that last pure sports where greed and steroids have yet to undermine it.

Reason 4) Tyler Quinn


He is the essence of douchbaggery.
