What could they hate us for? DVR.

I get it. You have a huge problem. There is a show about fat people starving themselves to loose weight, fat people dancing to loose weight, and fat people who were celebrities in the 80's and you want to see them in good shape again so that you don't feel so old anymore. All of this while there is a great show about Jersey trash punching their dates and roofy-ing women. Your week is ruined. You thought that you could curl up by yourself and relax to these shows, but some asshole scheduled them to be all on at the same time.

But wait, what's this? DVR? You mean that it is possible? Mankind can watch crappy TV, even if it is on while you are out walking your girlfriend's pomeranian.

Yep. DVR. Scientists and engineers have dedicated a portion of their brain to inventing a machine that lets you watch the important things on TV. Im positive that a poll of the most frequently DVR'ed shows would have NOVA and PBS specials all the way at the top.

But wait, I don't have the forethought to DVR a day ahead, or in the morning before I go to work. Well that's okay, because the philanthropists working for the DVR companies have made it possible for you to record your favorite shows from your fancy phone, or your computer. Phew!

So, what could they hate us for? How about, our perseverance to watch all of the wonderful shows that is presented to us?

What could they hate us for? Let me tell you.

Yes, here it is. My insight as to why they hate us. Who is "they" you ask? You know, they, them, basically, the rest of the world, although I think at times this just might be a deeper reflection as to why I hate us more than they do, or why I think people hate me specifically, but that's a different story. And then of course the next question would be, who is "Us"? By this, I mean our country. The nation that puts yogurt in easy to squeeze tubes so that we can take it on the go, or the nation that tells other countries that they are in the stone age while most of this country doesn't believe in strongly founded scientific theories of evolution.

To be fair, I don't hate us, we just make it hard to like us sometimes. But I don't want to give the impression that this is an anarchist site, or some really cynical anti-America site. I love living in America, but I feel that America is sometimes like your littler brother. He's cute, he's great at baseball, but sometimes when he pees himself on stage at his school play, you just cant help but hang your head in shame -- even if only for a minute.

So, that being said, enjoy reading my insight as to why they hate us. Oh-- about the name, I tried having "Why They Hate Us" but that was taken by people who wrote one post. Then I tried "This is Why They Hate Us" and that was taken by some dude who had no idea how to make a blog. Really? You can't make a blogspot blog? Even I can do that, and Im terrible with this internet thing. -- and this is why I hate you.

Which leads me to one last point. I am terrible with computers. I know that as a 24 year old college educate nerd in New York City, I should be good at this. But I'm more of a book nerd, we like reading literature, being snooty, and very often, hedonism. So I might not have any cool graphics, but I'll try.
