Barenaked Rant 'n Roll Continued

hiddenmuseIs it wrong that I went to see how badly the debate was going, and wanted to type "Gamera is really neat, Gamera is stuffed with meat", just to be a total upstart and piss off people with that non sequitur? {I was boring and behaved myself - somehow resisting the temptation to post that little bit from MST3K}
{About the very cool new Barenaked Ladies DVD} Tell me, why does it seem like with some people, you throw them a bone to placate them, and all they can do is bitch about how it's not good enough? I mean, really.
For Example/Por Ejemplo:
"The commentary sucked. It was commentary on the first three videos, then it became them talking amongst themselves, blah blah blah."
"Why did it say rare interviews *and* commentary, when it was just commentary?..."
"This video/that video/the other thing really sucked."
"I can't stand the way (insert a random Ladie's name here) looked."
I have a novel concept for you Doug and Wendy Whiners out there to wrap your little minds around: SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! Quit your bitching, alright? Be happy that you've gotten this much, for the love of Gord.
First, with the commentary. What fucking band did you *think* you were watching, anyways? Have you forgotten so soon that BNL is all about the non sequiturs and random comments? Have you not listened to your boots of the concerts enough?
Second, why do you have such a bug up your ass about semantics? Perhaps it was a typographical error. So sue them. If you're so goddamn perfect, Mr./Ms. Smartypants, why don't *YOU* write the blurbs for the DVD, eh?
Third, unless you're a fucking idiot, you *can* fast forward through videos. What a novel concept that is - fast forwarding! ;) Imagine ... not having to sit through something you'd rather not watch!
Finally, they're not dressing to impress *YOU*, alright? Allow them their sartorial travesties. Or the occasional lapse in scheduled haircuts or shaving. You'd probably expect others to forgive you for those lapses - why not extend the same courtesy? Besides (another novel concept here), you can always watch the videos and just *listen* to the commentary. That setting is available. Unless, just as was the case with #3, you're so inept that you don't know how to operate the remote control or DVD player. If that's the case, turn in your DVD and your Ladies Room membership IMMEDIATELY. Donate some of your boots and photos of Steven Page to Kellie and I. Share the rest of the boots and your Ed photos with Jells, Grace, Kevvers and Jody. The Kevin pics - give 'em to Angel and KHR.
Thank you. You can go back to whatever you were doing before I wasted your time with my piss and rant. >:)
p.s.: In case you were wondering, I wasn't personally slagged on because of my sexuality. I just mentioned it in last night's rant as a comparison point in the whole "define IS" debacle. We all have our definitions of what makes someone one thing or another. Of course, those vary from person to person. It takes maturity to acknowledge those differences and accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinions - theirs just happen to be wrong. ;)

I STILL don't have the DVD (am I the only one in the world?lol) but I'll get it as soon as I can, I have to hear what everyone's talking about :)
