Why is my brother so smart?

Please just take a look at the photo below. (click on it to make it bigger.)

Firstly, let me explain the situation. Some of you may know of a television series called "The Tudors". My brother, being a fan of the show, joined the Facebook group only to find Diane's idiotic post.

He owned her pretty hard.

Also, please take a look at this.



This is Diane Marie, the author of that ridiculous post. Now, I'm not usually one to judge by appearance, but seen as how she left such an ignorant comment, I had to look into her.

She looks like a fool.

She looks to be in her late 30's, her 40's, possibly even her 50's and she is wearing thick eye makeup, a fake tan and is sitting backwards on a chair.

If I were as ignorant as her, I would say something like "Diane has just proven how stupid American's are! They can't even sit the right way on a chair!" but I will refrain.

Also, she worte Chicago as one of her two "Likes and Interests".

What a fantastic display of American patriotism, no?

No.

To sum things up, I wanted to express myself in a short message to Diane.


To dear, sweet Diane.
Please keep your comments to youself, you are one of the reasons why nobody likes Americans.
Thanks.

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

it took me a couple minutes to decide just WHAT my pet peeve is but I think I've got it.

I absolutely can not stand people who use improper grammar, actually, I hate when people use the English language improperly. It's a bit of a disgrace. Especially if you've lived here your whole life! ("here" being Canada... Or America... Or anywhere where English is the primary language.)

For example, I hate when someone comes up to me and says "hey, I seen you at the store the other day! durrp deedurrr!"

No, no, no, my dear playfellow. You did not "seen" anything. And you will definitely not use me as the subject of your stupidity.

It pains me to think of how many people who have failed grade one English. The poor souls. Who will teach them now that they have grown, and their puny brains can no longer fully prossess new information. How is one suppose to unlearn once one has used this language wrongly for so long?

I must admit, however, that although it is a pet peeve, I do love when people do it. I get to correct them, make them feel stupid, and make myself feel smart.

I may complain about stupid people often, but I feel like it may be the complete opposite if only because of the fact that they make me feel so much smarter.

I suppose that's all I really have to say on the matter, so this concludes my blog.

just remember, I'm smarter than you. :P

Apparently not smarter than Ms. Feick though... (see below)

Let's Do The Time Warp

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is about... Actually, I'm not really sure...

Since my last post talked a little bit about GLEE, I remembered The Rocky Horror Picture Show episode, and THAT caused me to ask what the hell that movie is even about?

What I mean by that is what is the point? Or maybe what I'm asking is how? Or maybe I'm even asking when did Transylvania become another planet? Pretty sure it's in Romania which is in southeastern Europe, which is on EARTH.

Or maybe I just really didn't understand at all what was happening in that film.

Here's what I DID understand though:

A couple, Brad and Janet, get a flat tire and due to that incident go to a castle they saw a little earlier. At said castle they are greeted by a "Sweet Transvestite".

...

....

To be honest, that's all that really clicked plot-wise with me. I don't know about you, but they never really explain Eddy, nor is it explained why Dr. Frank-N-Furter was housing aliens or why Rocky was able to sing, but speaking english (or at all for that matter) was an impossibility.

Also, I have to ask what the hell happened at the end of that movie? First, everyone has been turned into stone, then they're all on stage in Dr. Frank's favourite get-up singing and dancing, then they have a giant orgy in the pool, THEN it turns out Riff-Raff and Magenta are aliens and they're pissed at Dr. Frank-N-Furter, then they shoo out Janet, Brad and Dr. Scott so they can go blast off back to Transsexual Transylvania, and then it all ends with Janet, Brad and Dr.Scott crawling around outside in the smoke.

LIKE WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

Perhaps I wasn't following things the best because I was too distracted by... Well, a lot! There is a lot to get distracted by in that film!

 I'm not going to lie, the second I saw Riff-Raff's hairstyle change, I couldn't keep my eyes off it. I mean it went from kind of creepy-weird to just straight up dumb! And Magenta looks dumb too (in case anyone was wondering my thoughts on her hairstyle).

All that being said, I think the only reason I was able to enjoy this movie is because of the songs, and the fact that Tim Curry is just absolutely ridiculous in it! Um, yeah. I guess that's really all I have to say... I'm not entirely certain I'd recommend watching it... But I'm also not entirely sure I wouldn't recommend it either.

But what I will do is leave you with this link.

However, it's not really school appropriate, so I don't know if watching it at school would be the best idea, but if you're really itching with antici .... .... .... pation, then do what you want.

Just don't blame me if a teacher questions why you're watching a grown man dance in burlesque clothing and people stand awkwardly in their underwear.

Also, ignore the Portuguese subtitles. It was the best I could find on Vimeo.

P.S - Riff Raff is probably the funniest thing of life.


A VERY POTTER GLEE CLUB


Yeah, that title probably doesn't make much sense, so allow me to explain.

Some of you may know of the youtube musical sensation A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel which are both musical comedies of the Harry Potter books by J.K Rowling and the movies by Warner Brothers. Personally, I think the whole idea is genius and I highly suggest you check it out if you're a fan of the books or movies.

BUT WAIT, there's more.

As some of you may know, I am a GLEEk (noun: a person who has an odd obsession with the FOX hit T.V show GLEE) and I have some exciting news for this weeks GLEE episode.

Darren Criss, who plays Harry Potter in the youtube musical, has been cast in GLEE and will be Kurt Hummel's love interest. I'm freakin' stoked. He sings Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. It sounds pretty nice.

That is all.
