Sorry, what was the the OP’s complaint? His microphone faded out near the end there…

[purplehorseshoe]

Nah, the band just played over him to shoo him off stage.

Fortunately, you have something called a “remote control” which, get this, changes the channel! :eek: Imagine that! You have a choice in what you want to watch. Or just turn the damn thing off and read a book. It’s a free country.

Oh bitch please - you are no more under any obligation to threadshit than the OP is to watch the oscars; in fact, you are probably under much less of an obligation to do so. Why don’t you just STFU and let the OP complain. It’s a free country you know.

[Anaamika]

I hate them too. Not as much as the OP, but still. I don’t watch them either…but that is the entirety of the office conversation today, and I’m already sick of it.

I would like to thank The Academy. And all the little people who made this possible. Actors do something no one else can do-- bring dreams to life. We touch the souls of millions, no billions, of people every day. And so I would like to thank the crew, my mother, my step-brother, my half-sister, my brother-father, and my great aunt Bessy. She was a cow, but I love her just the same.

But I digress. Here we are tonight, celebrating the greatest artistic achievement of mankind. The creme de la creme of artistique endeavor. And I, representing the epitome of the craft, do humbly accept this award for Best Rolling Credits!

You forgot to thank Jesus.

@Cheshire_Human

You forgot to thank Jesus.

To be fair, he’s probably Jewish.

[Typo_Negative]

I hate that I can’t drive through Hollywood on Oscar night.

Other than that, I could give a shit.

@Bob Ducca

To be fair, he’s probably Jewish.

To be doubly-fair, so was Jesus.

My irony meter just exploded!

What the fuck? You really need to post that shit. Like anyone cares about your stupid fucking meter. Go swallow a horse cock and let people complain about other people complaining about the OP’s complaint. Asswad.

[Cat_Whisperer]

I think you all have a case of the Mondays.

[Morgenstern]

I missed them. Damn, I’ll have to want another 4 years. What country will host them next, does anyone know?

This is what I come to the Pit for. I LOL’d & LOL’d.

[mlees]

I am amused with all of the events that occur outside the ceremony itself.

Like the Red Carpet Fashion Critique Show Extravaganza!

I guess the attraction is that it lets us little people dream what it would be like to rub elbows with other gorgeous people, and wear 100,000 dollar jewelry.

The original Oscar ceremonies were not all that, right? Pretty subdued back then, weren’t they?

When did they get glamorized?

[Hampshire]

Oh jz78817, you totally missed it! There was a skit where (you’ll never believe it) Billy Crystal and George Clooney (are you sitting down) actually kissed!!
Can you believe it! How risque’! How outrageous!
It was a hoot I tell you! An absolute hoot!

is it even possible to crap on a Pit thread?

[elbows]

Especially a crappy pit thread.

You call this a pitting, pft.

Here’s a quarter, go buy yourself some curse words. And while you’re at it, try to scare up a little passion for the topic, would ya?

[The_Other_Jeffrey_Lebowski]

Is it threadshitting to complain about the first response? No? Good.
For fuck’s sake, is it really fucking necessary to quote the entire fucking OP, no fucking matter that it’s only like eleven or so fucking words, in the first fucking response? Fuck.

[digs]

@The_Other_Jeffrey_Lebowski

… For fuck’s sake, is it really fucking necessary to quote the entire fucking OP, no fucking matter that it’s only like eleven or so fucking words, in the first fucking response? Fuck.

Wait… when you say “quote the entire fucking OP”, do you mean the part that goes:

the last thing I want to waste my life on is watching a bunch of egotistical narcissists tell each other how awesome they are. fuck the lot of 'em.

and you celebrity worshipers are a huge part of the problem.

Or do you include the title?

Now, I get really fucking mildly annoyed when some fucking means-well-but-misses-the-mark putz shows up (in his or her fucking polo shirt tucked into a pair of fucking khakis – gaaah, that fucking makes me clench my fists in consternation!). And when they quote the entire OP? That fucking chaps my chaps to the extent that I call home for chapstick.

Actors kissing. It’s been done. Meh.

Double your irony.
