more hate

I took a bike ride today and encountered three things I really hated.

1. An ad for the 1-800-flowers.com "cupcake in bloom." For "ONLY" $25, you're getting 3 carnations jammed into a cup. And the fuckface in the corner is its inventor. Because he's white and has really white hair and the carnations are white, you know it's a good. He's grinning because he's fucking you over. Cupcake in bloom is TOTALLY ABOUT RACE.




2. I saw a woman with this hairdo. Enough said. Can you imagine waking up everyday with this on your head? FUCK!




3. I went to buy some chocolate at a chocolate store, and wedged into the corner was a small stack of WORLD MUSIC CDs. An example of something you can buy to feel more connected to the world and feel less bad about being rich and white and living in Park Slope. The stack of CDs had more to do with the neighborhood than it did with anything else being sold in the store. Hate it. Totally goddess.

ugh



I hate that Trader Joe's has little signs throughout the store with some of their key staff members' faces painted on them.



I hate this for two reasons:

1. The people painted on these signs aren't going to work at Trader Joe's forever, so what happens once they quit? Does Trader Joe's commission a painter to paint all the new staff peoples' faces onto wooden signs? I doubt it. "Ok, so you have to sign fill out your I-9, your NY State Tax Form, an employee contract, and then we have to paint your face onto wood."

2. These signs are a cheap way of making you feel welcomed and included in something. The signs are basically saying, "Hey! Trader Joe's is just run by a group of friends! Come by our place and wait in line for 45 minutes to buy a gallon of organic milk you California-transplant asshole!!!"

my first post

I've decided to start a blog where I will discuss all of the things I don't like.

First on the agenda.

I don't like that I posted this photo:



to facebook and none of my friends responded saying it was funny. A dog with no lips is funny.
