My own personal Axis of Evil

I now give to you, my soon to be adoring public, the three companies that I despise the most in this world. We’ll start with Disney. That evil entity has been getting into the hearts and minds of America’s youth for far too long now, and they must be stopped. I hate the movies, I hate the theme park, I hate the songs, and I hate all the goddamned happy endings!!! Another reason I hate them so badly is that for awhile there, they were in bed with the second member of my axis, McDonalds. You couln’t buy a damned happy meal for a kid without getting a little plastic piece of shit from a Disney movie. Of course, McD’s had a lot of leftover plastic laying around after making their godawful burges. Do they even use real meat??? I swear, I’d order a big mac just to eat the friggin cardboard box it comes in. And what’s with this new ad campaign, anyway? i’m loving it? I’ll love it more when some fat schmuck comes along and sues them into the ground for making him a fat schmuck. I was happier when the CEO or whatever of McD’s died a few weeks back then I was when they caught Saddam. I’m gonna go buy myself some tap shoes and find that man’s grave. Enough about those assholes. The last company on the list is America Online. I hate those crooked bastards with an energy that trancends time and space, a fire that burns with the intensity of a million suns, and whatever over cheesy cliche you can think of. Need to talk to someone? Good luck. I averaged about three or four transfers every time I called. “I’m sorry, you need to talk to this department. Oh I’m sorry, I need to transfer you to someone else” I’m pretty sure I got transfered so many times, I wound up talking to the same person I’d called in the first place. And don’t get me started about the anal rape that they call a bill. Over $50 a month for the worst service imaginable. God, I’m getting angry again just thinking about it. I’d better quit now before I start typing in all caps to show my anger.

as far as AOHell goes, why not switch to a “normal” ISP, it’d be cheaper and you’d get better customer service to boot

here’s my axis of evil, in no particular order;

micro$oft; buggy, unstable crapware that has more holes than swiss cheese, their empire was built off of stolen code and reinforced with anticompetitive tactics

ford motor company; the most unreliable pieces of crap on the road, quality is NOT job one, i will say in their favor that it’s nice they’re developing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, but i’ll wait until a more reliable manufacturer builds them before purchasing a fuel cell vehicle

Apple Computer’s recent business “ethics”; trying to cut the little guy out of the business, earmarking more hardware for the Apple Stores, and giving A.S.'s price breaks on inventory, i love the Mac, it’s the best computer out there, it’s just a pity that the parent company has evil business tactics, less evil than m$, but still evil

Charter Communications; my cable/broadband provider, when they’re not letting their trained chimps frell around with their network hardware, hey’re jacking up pricing on cable TV to unreasonable rates, i pay almost $80 for 3MB/sec broadband and bare-bones cable TV

the oil industry and OPEC; for jacking up fuel prices to unreasonable rates, at $2.05/gal, it costs around $20 to fill my car, a frelling 4-cylinder Dodge Neon, a supposed economy car!

Umm- can we add 25 sentence OPs that aren’t broken down in paragraphs. :slight_smile:

Oh, I dumped AOL months ago, and I really don’t regret it one bit. And about your gas problem, I’ve got you beat. Prices here are about $2.30 a gallon, and it cost me 26 bucks to fill up the same car.

Oops, sorry about that Champ. That was my first post, and I’m a bit nervous about being in the company of so many brilliant minds. That mind sound sarcastic, but it isn’t. Really, I promise.

Welcome aboard Nik And thanks for not posting in all CAPS, that would have been really annoying.

7-Eleven. I bought three food products in 2 days and each one was covered in mold. Asswipes. Called the Board of Health on them, I did.

UPS. Delivered my package on time. To the wrong location. Some 30 miles south of me. Redelivered it the next day. And the day after that. And every day for 2 weeks. All to the same wrong location. It was finally delivered to me by an employee of that wrong location who happened to live on my street. Butt munches.

Best Buy. Worst. Store name. Ever.

They’ve been sued. They’ve also been the subject of a documentary, and cough coincidentally cough took the supersize option off the menu shortly afterwards. Lay off the Big Macs and stop thinking about it, and your blood pressure will go down.

…no one’s brought up Wal-Mart, the corporation that turned America into a land of very nice downtown architecture that no one except lawyers can afford to rent any more, and which is determined to drive labor costs to the point where the only place America can AFFORD to shop any more will be… Wal-Mart?

The rest of the world has you all beat. It’s US$2.80.gallon.

My axis of evil?
Americans who complain about the price of things when they have the cheapest price for it in the WORLD.

I meant to say It’s US2.80/gallon here, in Australia… and I think that’s second cheapest to America. But I may be wrong.

Whose fault is that? We didn’t make you tax the living shit out of everything.

Blame your own politicians and quit bitching at us.

Amen, Airman. I wanted to respond to that one, but wasn’t really sure how to. I didn’t want to sound like a complete jerk. I am a complete jerk, I just don’t want to sound like it.

I don’t shop at Wal-Mart because of their abuses of eminent domain.

I’ll see you a McDonald’s and raise you a…Capital One! I recently escaped from their clutches, when after a very nice payment history, they decided to charge me $48 a year for the privilege of keeping their crappy card.

I dropped them immediately and got a different card, with lower interest and a higher limit.

Do what I do – at the end of every sentence, put a LOL or :). Or both, LOL. That makes you seem friendly and easy-going, LOL. :slight_smile:

Oh, wah!

Those of us lucky enough to be on Time-Warner get the same thing for a mere $97 after taxes…

My own Axis of Evil:

-Children: Not only do they usually grow up to be stupid adults, but they’re definitely the ones in control of the mass media, or the “Kidsmedia”, as it should be called. They use their all-encompassing influence over parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to shape the direction of our society. Clearly, Children are the greatest threat to the universe. Oh, and they’re trying to get WMD’s.

-Traffic lights: Why do I have to stop? There’s no reason for it, none at all, nope nope nope. These ungainly and nefarious devices are simply used to TRAP US in one spot for up to two minutes while the government BEAMS thoughts, desires, and subconscious images into our brains. And ditch the foil caps, they only amplify the rays.

-Dark People: No, not black people. Dark People are sentient beings made out of Dark Matter, and they’re insidiously trying to take over the Normal-matter universe. Our only defense is a reverse quantum flux of the thoron subspace pulse grid. Mr. Scotty! You have two minutes!

Okay, I’ll admit, I’m in a weird mood…

Actually, it makes you sound like you have a case of happy Tourette’s or something. :stuck_out_tongue:

My own axis of evil:

1.People who drive while distracted. Yes that includes you, the fucking moron who stopped at a green light today in front of me while gabbing on your cell phone. Maybe if you weren’t in some parrallel universe of dumbass-cell-phone babble you might have noticed the green arrow, which means you can go incase you didn’t know. When I honked at you after five seconds of staring at the green light and not moving, it didn’t give you the right to give me an evil look as I passed your confused ass up later on. Im sure the look I gave you was far worse though, and the cell phone strapped to your ear ruined your attempt to look put-off, so it all works out in the end.

2.The people who are supposed to be in charge of this country who can’t do anything but fuck up. Hint: when you start a war, have a follow through plan. Also: have a fucking clue and stop trying to fuck with the scientific progress of the country with your right-wing religious crap. We need people in charge of this country capabe of looking forwards, not looking to the fucked up policies of the past for guidance, while the future hits them in the ass.

3.My fucking prostate gland, which managed to get itself infected a month ago and has been a pain in my ass in the truest literary sense ever since. It’s mostly better now after an embarrasing trip to the doctor, but I’ll find a way to get even someday.

  1. Might as well include entropy and the inevitable decay of everything. When you get right down to it, this universe sucks. At it’s basic level, death and destruction seem built right in.

Wal-Mart is only filling a current customer demad. If it wasn’t Wal-Mart, it would be the same type mega store - just a different name. If you want to bitch about what the mega store concept has done to the small town Ma & Pa businesses, then bitch about the ppl that shop there to take advantage of the low pricing & product selection that Ma & Pa couldn’t provide. There are reasons that the customers abandoned some of the family run businesses and it wasn’t Wal-Mart holding a gun to their heads.

My Axis of Evil:

  1. Corporations being controlled by empty suit ass kissers that will sell their soul and everyone else in order to get the P&L spreadsheet to come up with the right profits numbers to insure their own ****** bonus.
  2. The “Ain’t it Awfull/Sky if Falling” ppl. Even though I’ve been out of work for 8 months, the quality of life here is still pretty ****** good as compared to other parts of the world. We’re not perfect, but even on our worst days living here is still a lot better than most others.
  3. Religious Zealots - wherever they may be (including this country). More ppl have been killed on this world in the name of religion than any other cause. I don’t care what someone else wants to believe as long as they don’t either demand others convert to their way or kill the ones that don’t agree with them.
