One Of The Best Arguments For Deleting Facebook

Jesus, this.

I'd love for them hipsters to get over the look-at-me-I'm-cool thing. Yes, shedding Facebook is a good first step but you gotta follow-through. Just think how much more impactful this would've been without all the oh-so clever "humor".

Ok, I don't care what his message is, because I stopped watching after 25 seconds of that god awful stupid jumpcut editing.

My reaction was: "Okay, that's it. I'm done with this show. I'll never watch Game of Thrones again and I'll never read the books, because the plot has gotten too repetitive and therefore extremely annoying!1 It continuously uses the same pattern over and over again. Why should I bother watching the show if I know that every interesting and/or likable character (except Tyrion) will face certain death at the next best opportunity (George R.R. Martin said so himself, but I didn't expect him to do this every damn time) just as a means to shock the audience/readership and an attempt to make the plot seem unpredictable. But you know what? If you kill off the most likable and interesting character(s) every season/novel, this is very predictable. It's just lazy and unimaginative storytelling."

That's why I had already expected this to happen, although I really hoped it wouldn't, not only because I liked the character, but because this pattern is really starting to get old. Therefore, I just found it severely annoying, since it seemed so predictable and repetitive. However, I have come to terms with this outcome since then and I'll most probably keep watching the show, but I may never get invested in any character's fate again, because it can be easily predicted.

1I'm not usually one to stop watching a show for any reason, except if it's really badly written and executed, and even then I give it at least several episodes to make up my mind. So I'm not one of those who say "If [insert character name] dies, I'll stop watching the show."

Muslims Interrogate Comedian

shuac says...

The crucial difference is that the WBC doesn't issue death threats toward novelists/cartoonists, unless they've evolved their God Hates Fags campaign, that is.

Plus the international media is more than happy to paint the WBC with true colors: the same can't be said about the media's response to the muslim reaction toward Salmon Rushdie/Dutch Newspaper/Matt Stone/Trey Parker/et al.

But I take your point.

You're right, and I wasn't trying to be a dick to @shuac about it, but I think the US's media and military industrial complex are doing all they can to make Americans think that's the case with Islam, to keep fueling the fear and hate, and that's made me a little overly sensitive to the subject.

Muslims Interrogate Comedian

shuac says...

A more subtle point is the fact that they played a clip of the offending song, they placed him on a bed of (one might argue) comical rubber nails, the audience laughter, and the general showmanship of the hosts tell me that Islam is slowly headed in a healthier direction.
