Seriously Overrated Stuff

[Flannery]

Political parties are the same to me in a sense. the only difference between the two are their names. but im sure if McCain became president, it'll be worse.

I would have preferred Bush over Obama.
But why do people like watching sports? IT IS SO BORING.

But why do people like watching sports? IT IS SO BORING.

Because guys people like to watch sweaty, beefed-up men athletes run around groping playing each other over a dirty, dirty ball.

Can you call people on the ipad?

actually yes. but that's the thing. why would you want to answer call from that huge hunk of metal?

You sure? Because I did read somewhere it wasn't possible to make a call with it [Yes, I'm not only talking about the size xD]

Overrated? The movie Scarface.

Just about everything is overrated. From alcoholic beverages to your favorite website. Everything has it's fans that'll do their best to exaggerate the quality, content, etc... of everything.

However, a few things I find a little too overrated:
Twilight (too many fans of something that's literary content is garbage)
Lost (are they found yet? C'mon, too many people go overboard with lost)
Apple (any products ipod, macbook, etc..)
Saw movies (first one was alright. It was something a little different, but a contract for 8 movies!?!?)
Paranormal Activities (Blair Witch project volume 3. It was more laughable than scary.)
Michael Bay movies (Was that a blur??? KABOOOM, BAM, BANG, KERPOW!!!!)
Comic Book movies (As much as I love them, not every comic needs a movie let alone 3-5)
Trilogies (Some have been good, but more often than not, the first movie was great, second alright, and third was horrible.)

Also, on the subject of exams. If you have a decent teacher, their exams will cover the material learned in a new form. Sure you memorized what year the United States was founded, but can you discuss the events accurately that lead up to it happening? Sure, you read a book, but can you discuss the concepts behind the book, the themes, and why this book was so relevant to today as well as yesteryear? Exams shouldn't just be a test with multiple choice answers. It's foolish of a teacher to hand them out. All that shows is that you skimmed your textbook good enough to find the definitions of bolded words or ideas. So literary exams should make you go into detail about more than just the content of the book. Science exams should set up hypothetical situations and make you figure out the reasons why/how such situation is happening. Math exams should take the formula learned and present equations based around it. History exams should be more than memorizing dates and names, they should make you go into detail about how all these names and events came to be. Multiple choice is only the choice of a lazy teacher.

The problem with arguing politics is that it has severely down sloped over the last few decades. It seems like, yes, we are getting more and more people to vote, but they are only voting for aesthetic reasons. "McCain is part of ____ party." "Obama is black." Honestly, I don't affiliate with any form of party or group. I vote for whoever I believe will get the job done and cause the most influential change. That is why I abstained from this last election, which also sadly happened to be my first I could vote for. I didn't feel either of the candidates could arguably push the economy out of the rut.

However, now that Obama is the president, I'm not going to waste my energy on petty judgments and hate towards him. I'll support him, argue against him, and try to make my voice heard above all the others.

Something else overrated: myspace. I don't see the love for it. It's annoying, slow, filled with 14 year olds, and the one time I looked into it, lagged the hell out of my computer.

I think myspace is kind of on the outs. Everyone digs facebook now.

Avatar. One of the biggest wastes of my money. Ever. Poor storyline, poor development, generic characters....

"But OMG teh graffics wer amuzing!1!1one!"

So? That only accounts to about....4% of a story. I hope that movie is set on fire and then pushed off a cliff into a pit of *movie-eating Pikachus.

i actually sorta disagree with the Avatar thing...If ya want a story, read an effing book. Star Wars story sucked. And almost all movies with a good story were that way because they were pulled from a book or graphic novel of some-sort. Movies are eye candy, and not much else, and for this, Avatar was and always will be a great stepping stone in movie history.

Hmm.. I thought I'd have an entire list to add, but my mind's blank. 

So you posted just to tell us that?

....

Here's something really overrated: Twilight.

Enough said.

People complaining about Twilight. If you didn`t like it then you didn`t but no need to go on and on about it. It gets really really irritating. No offense to you dude!

[Lord and Savior]

Haha I think the reason people complain about Twilight and why it's overrated is because it suck and is still praised more than rejected XD
But seriously, on a academic note, nothing good about Twilight; not the books, movies, nothing
