"The liberals have a diseased and narrow-minded worldview!" said The_Iconoclast, as he called people feeble minded morons for not believing the same things as him.
 
It won't prove anything. My former bosses are too stupid and pigheaded to comprehend that two people can have the same idea completely independently of each other... or to fathom that not everyone watches the same TV shows. In 1997 I was watching Mad TV on FOX, so if this is the sketch in question, I guess I missed it. Of course, we didn't have YouTube and Hulu and all these file-sharing sites back then, so a copy of the now-not-so-Magic Phantom-Sketch would have been much harder to get. But, you know, it'd have been nice if they'd tried. This long-standing dispute has really hurt me. My old friends at the paper aren't even allowed to speak to me because of it, I had to drop out of grad school, and I was forced to take a less prestigious and lower-paying job that made my life even worse.

Now as I warned you, it's pretty raw, but here are the notes for "TV Ratings System".

Honestly, I think they just wanted me to step down, but were too cowardly to admit it...and this provided a good excuse to make it happen.

So, change is bad? So we should have just stayed under English colonial rule?

Hey, with Obama, I can't really tell the difference...200-odd years later, we once again have taxation without representation Another two years of Barry-boy and St. Shelley in power, and we'll pretty much be Europe...except that nation hasn't been forced to convert to DTV. Staying with analog is the one thing they've done the hell right over there.
 
It's good that we're not turning into the nation of Europe. The only country that would be worse to become is Africa.
 
I have one. I hate it. I was barely getting a dozen channels to begin with, and then I lost the remote. So I've been stuck on one channel--at least it's one I like, but how many times can you watch the same episodes of Gilligan's Island over and over?-- for weeks on end now. If not for DVD's and shows streamed free on the Internet, I'd go mad....
 
Hey, Iconoclast--if it really is you--calm down, huh? Coming in here yelling about liberals isn't going to accomplish anything except make you an easy target.

I haven't read the ED article or anything else related to you besides your posts here, so I admit I'm speaking from a position of semi-ignorance here. But do you really go to a college to look for dates? And you're in your thirties? People are going to think that's a bit creepy. College kids may be legal, but they're still figuring out their place in the world and what they want to do with their lives. Someone older specifically going after college girls is going to look to people like grooming, and with all the worries about safety on campuses it's understandable that the administration wouldn't be happy with that situation.

And really, there's no hard-and-fast 'rules for dating' in a college situation that there aren't in the rest of the world. Hell, the only dating rule I can think of, period, is "don't be a jerk." But then, that's a good rule for everything, I think. :D

Do you really believe that the misrepresentation of the middle class in congress started with Obama? If so, I have some bad news for you.

Get a replacement for the remote control.

I just was surprised to see my name in the LOLCow thread, and I wanted to set the record straight. I don't like people defamng me insulting my work when it's obvious they have never read anything I've written. :left:

Hey, my ex does it. She's in her thirties now, and no one says one bad word against her when she hangs around the dorms and fools around with men ten, 12 years younger than her. If anything, she's considered a feminist icon. Now maybe things have changed a lot since my day, but when I was in college, there were hard-and-fast thou-shalt-nots for dating. Somehow I managed to break every one of those rules, and I got punished by watching the perfect girl walk out on me.

I'll find the remote soon enough. The dogs are always filching things and chewing them or burying them someplace. [annoyance *sigh*]

Yeah that's on you. Obama didn't lose your remote. And honestly it's just TV. There's a world of media out there, which you mention having, so man up and deal.

Also there are universal remotes for like $5. Again not a huge, world ending problem.

God damn bro, let it go. You got dumped, that happens to people. It's called life. Also unless your ex was Kathleen Hannah from Bikini Kill I highly doubt she was a feminist icon.
 
I guess another thing I noticed is that you apparently insert your own fetishes into your work. To my knowledge, that only works if you're Quentin Tarantino. Also, about the college dating thing, have you tried bars? I mean, I look like a combination of Dan Aykroyd and Chris Farley with a beard and I have a car made back when the USSR still existed and somehow things work for me. So, yeah....

Bars are the absolute worst places to meet women. Besides, I don't want a cheap one-night stand with a bleary gin-soaked skank; I'm looking for 'a long -term affair with a gorgeous, passionate upper-class lady. My ex's dad was a lawyer--I could have sued that rag I worked for into oblivion. Or, he could have gotten me a job at his firm, or perhaps loaned me the cash to keep my business going after my partner skipped town. But noooooooooooooooo. I didn't know the rules, and I lost out on the best thing I ever had. I had no one in my corner when I was starting out. That's why I have devoted my work to helping young men not make the same life-rending mistakes I did in college. Is that what you consider my "fetish"?

So how old's this dude? Because to be going on about a college girlfriend past like 25 is pretty sad. Like he peaked and it wasn't even that high of one.
