I'm reviving this thread to post about something that ticks me off. Actually, it just kind of baffles me.

I just saw another one of those accursed "KidzBop" commercials, and crop circles and the Loch Ness monster have nothing on how mystifying these CDs are to me. I mean, just.... why?! What is the point of dubbing over perfectly good songs with the crackling, chirping voices of prepubescent children? If I like the song, I'll listen to the original version, and if I don't, hearing scores of little kids singing lyrics that are not always kid-friendly and that they probably don't understand isn't going to make it more appealing to me. Why do these CDs exist, and who buys them? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

Yeah I know when once I bought a CD of 80's music and didn't notice that it was a cover band doing them all, I was royally pissed. It's *awful* and I couldn't even listen to it though I gave it a chance.

Pop music isn't like classical, not just anyone can perform a song, even if they're talented. If you're going to do a remake of a song that's one thing because then at least you're putting your own spin on it, but a straight-up cover...I dunno, I just hate covers in general. And oh yeah, lets have a bunch of KIDS do it...brilliant.

But I dunno, maybe those things really do sell well.

Oh, man, I HATE those dang things! Thank the stars my remote has a mute button; I use it everytime one of those commercials runs. I'd rather watch ads for Head-On. Why would anyone buy these things when the original music and singers are better? They're a total waste of time and money.

If Razor and Tie (the folks behind the series of Kidz Bop CDs) didn't ask for permission, however, I would imagine that there already would've been lawsuits over it. From what I've read, many of the volumes of Kidz Bop were certified Gold (sure it's not Platinum, but Gold can be enough to be considered successful for some albums).

Youtube ticks me off

They took down nearly ALL of the Fosters shorts people had put on there, including the Pizza short I put up and got yanked down as well.

This REALLY has me sprouting veins and it drives me up a freaking wall when they keep yanking down more and more favorite movies and shorts from that site.

I hate it when I'm out doing my power-walk and I pass a house where there's a dog who's not tied up, and it barks and barks at me and runs after me. I'm usually not afraid of being bitten, but it is so annoying and embarrassing when other neighbors see us. Especially when they think that it's MY dog, and ask "Why don't you have him on a leash?" Blah, blah, blah

I hate it when I'm driving on a two way street and there's a car in front of me going rrrrreeeeeeaaaaalllllll ssssslllllooooowwww and there's no way to pass them. It's worse of course when I'm in a hurry, but even when I'm not in a hurry I get sooo irritated. Come on people, the speed limit is 60 not 45!

I hate it when I watch and listen to my microwave popcorn very closely to be sure it doesn't burn, but it ends up burning anyway and filling my apartment with that awful burnt-popcorn smell, and it lingers for days. I feel like such a bloofus...er...doofus.

I hate it when I'm parked on a slight incline and my arms are full of groceries, and I can't keep the door open long enough for me to place the bags in secure positions on the passenger seat and/or floor because gravity keeps wanting to close it, so I try to prop it open with my foot or knee, but sometimes I have to move and I lose hold of the door and it slams shut on my leg, and nearly chops it off because it's a heavy door, and I yelp, and other shoppers in the parking lot look at me like I'm an alien from outer space, and then I have this big bruise on my leg for the next two weeks, and am forever more terrified of my car doors.
