What don't you "get"?

I don't get why so many Americans blindly believe everything they hear/read in the liberal media, for which reporters do nothing to verify the facts they are broadcasting/publishing. People read something on the Internet or hear something on a morning show and think whatever is said is the absolute truth.

I don't get how US media can be liberal when it's owned by right wing individuals like Rupert Murdoch. I'm not having a dig or trying to start a political debate - I can't say I agree largely with either "side" - just wondering.

You obviously don't watch Fox News.

You obviously don't watch Fox News.

I stick to the BBC

 

[Beelzebub]

I stick to Jim Lehrer

I was thinking the exact same thing.

You obviously don't watch Fox News.

What, you mean they're not really fair and balanced?

 

[DoomsdayZach]

i like to get my news from Tom Leikis

I like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.

Best news ever.

I guess this is as good a place as any to say that I don't get people who still like The Daily Show. It used to be hilarious, with really witty jokes and legit, insightful interviews. Now it's just Jon Stewart sitting down with politicians and journalists who can't get a word in edgewise because he's too busy cracking half-assed jokes all the time. On the rare occasion that I watch it, I just watch the first two segments. Who else misses the couch?

I don't get how people can actually think Derek Sherinian and his solo albums are good. Yuck. (For further reference, see the Score stream topic.)

 

[Horus]

Because Derek Sherinian is an awesome keyboardist, and very underrated.

 

[Jaen]

Because Motley Crue is better!

that is debatable...

As much as I dont get why Paris Hilton is popular, the same can be said for: all socialites (lindsay lohan, the olsen twins, kimberly stewart, nicole richie) and the oil/shipping heirs that switch back and forth between said socialites.

I also don't get why James Blunt (keeping with Beelz' love of the guy ), Kasey Chambers, Rogue Traders, Pussycat Dolls etc have music careers.

I don't get why many Metallica fans think Kirk Hammet is the 'best' guitarist ever (and if you don't agree then you obviously don't know anything about metal apparently).

I don't get why people would actually choose to go on a show like Big Brother - the whole nation does not need to see you taking a dump/masturbating/picking your nose.

I don't get why so many men want to date blonde bimbo's with nothing between their ears (or hips), and then complain about them being starfish (when we could have told them that before they wasted their time). <courtesy of my best friend Zen>

I don't get why goths/emos think they're 'rebelling' against society when all they are doing is conforming to another type of society, or think they're being 'individual' when they all look the bloody same.

I don't get MTV in general - they dont seem to realise that they're not cool/hip/out there. The people on it are pretty much (I'm being nice) the same shallow california-type regardless of what sort of show they're involved with. Is this what we're teaching our younger generations to aspire to?

I dont get....THE GOLD/SILVER BELT OBSESSION!!!!!! arrrgggghhhhhhh!! It seems like every girl in this town owns several of them and wear them constantly (with a matching - badly, very badly matching.. totally different hues altogether - gold/silver bag, and cork platform shoes!!!!!!).

I also don't get why it's 'popular/trendy/fashionable' to put garish colours together in an outfit such as blue/orange, pink/orange, green/pink...

and furthermore I dont get PINK SHIRTS FOR MEN!!!!!! it's so gay!!

I could go on all day long here but I will stop.. for now

Lindsay Lohan actually is/was a movie star though. She started her career starring in Disney movies n stuff, so she's excusable from that argument.

Speaking of Lindsay Lohan, I don't get why Lindsay Lohan's little sister is getting to film a music video.
How do I know this? My bassist's little sister is best friends with Lindsay Lohan's little sister, and she's gonna be on the set while they're filming the video.

I don't understand why some colors are gay but others aren't. Purple is personally my favorite color. I'm a guy, some would say it's a gay color and others would say it's "pimp". I say they're all morons and you should be able to like/wear whatever you want. Homophobes FTW

 

[DoomsdayZach]

no, purple is pretty gay


:danceboy:

wow so disney is dumb enough to hire her a couple of times. i think she has been in all of about 4 movies, none of which were any decent.. doesnt make someone a star.. hell even paris has been in at least 3 movies and several tv shows..
