Short Rants

There are a few things bothering me these days, and I just need to get them off my chest:

1) Pop-ups - How does any self respecting website still run pop-ups? How are there ANY companies left who want to be associated with these incredibly annoying ads? I have stopped visiting websites that have pop-ups and I am considering dropping any relationship I have with companies that run pop-ups. If I see another Vonage or Netflix pop-up I will cancel my account with each of them.

2) Mid Season TV Show Breaks - It feels like 6 weeks since the last new episode of Heros aired. It feels even longer for Lost. These huge mid-season breaks KILL my interest in these shows. As if young male consumers like myself need another reason to ditch TV! One of the reasons I love 24 is that the season runs uninterrupted.

3) TV Shows Running 1 Minute Late - I HATE it when a TV show runs 1 minute long. It is a Bull Sh*t trick to F'up DVRs and other technologies... and it pisses me off. If this practice, which has been around for far to long, I am going to start boycotting these shows.
