But you love Cascadia's Flag. Don't lie. Who wouldn't want a flag nicknamed "Doug"?

I HATE, HATE, HATE Kelly "Smelly" Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and all the clones of that song I've been subjected to over the years, including and especially the clones from Smelly* herself.
And then there's that idiot, I forget her name, who sings that awful song "According To You" and bases her whole career on the supposed novelty of a girl being able to shred on the guitar.

I never got the whole White Castle mystique. To me it just tastes like standard-issue fast food, but in a smaller, cuter package.

We don't have White Castle in Canada (at least in parts I've been too) Tried it on a cruise through the states last September...nasty and greasy. Never again!
PS3/Wii/XBox360...don't get me wrong, I love the systems themselves, its the raging fanboys who proclaim to thier dying breath that one is superior to the other. Get over it all have advantages and disadvantages.
The "Dirty Oil" propagnda machine. I'm not even going to get into this, lest it turns into a three page rant, but I will say that Alberta's oil mining is no "dirtier" that any other form of mining, and thanks to SAG-D technology is in many cases much cleaner.

Tattoos. No offense to anyone who has them, but I've just never understood the appeal of having ink injected in one's skin.

despite having tattoos, I'm kinda with ya on this one Rocky... what gets me is the random tribal/chinese/cartoon character tattoos, that essentially mean nothing to the person they are on, that, even worse, were choosen from a tattoo book, so a couple of hundred other people have the same one. yeah, 1 up for originality folks.

It's like they forgot that the Joker isn't just creepy and crazy, but also *funny.* Even if nobody else is laughing, *he's* supposed to be having fun, not trudging around acting oh-so-terribly-serious...
The only 'good' things in the last two Batman movies have been Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine's performances as Lucius and Alfred.
So much agreement here, though I found the first much more watchable than the second. At least I made it all the way through the first one without leaving in disgust with forty or so minutes left to go.

"The Shawshank Redemption". I can't count the number of times I've had conversations about "great" movies when this title has come up.
Really, guys? In the same breath as "The Godfather" and "Raging Bull," folks would actually put a film as ham-fistedly schmaltzy as "Shawshank." It doesn't work for me as drama, as a buddy-pic, or as an affirmation of the human spirit. Though it attempts to be each of those, the approach is just so over the top on each front. I feel as though this film is trying too hard to be my friend.
C'mon... surely I'm being too hard on imdb's #1 ranked film. Well, just to be fair, I tried to think about it in terms of a very specific sub-genre and I was astounded to find that I couldn't even place it into the top ten of my favorite Click Here For A Spoilerprison escape films!

The Decemberists. Local band makes good worldwide plays for the President yadda yadda yadda.
I just think there are several other bands who pull off their particular shtick much better than they do. And the constant local hype about them is annoying, as if there's no other musicians in town capable of doing interesting things. Ppphht.

Oprah. If I saw Oprah being beaten up by a gang in the street, I'd run over...and get a few kicks in.
