3 Things (that piss me off right now)

1. America's movie going public: The top 2 movies in our great country are Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail and Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience. While I get the Jonas Brothers deal, Tyler Perry is horrible as evidenced by the 27% positive rating for his film at rottentomatoes.com
This is one of the 'good' reviews:

"Crowd-pleasing African-American filmmaker Tyler Perry has been heralded as an entrepreneur, a populist, and an expert on the wants of female audiences, but none of that would have been possible if he weren’t also an expert drag performer."

High praise indeed...you'll notice there is no mention of the film. America should be ashamed of itself.

2. The economy: Lots of mistakes and misdeeds by people at various levels, from poor, misinformed people who bought houses they couldn't afford to the people looking to make a quick buck off them to the government who let it all happen. Now we're all being forced to pay the price. From higher credit card payments to banks not extending credit to businesses...to the bank bailout and the new stimulus package...we're all paying the price. And I call bullshit on the lot of them.

3. Rihanna: Sure, this may be an unpopular statement, but I must say it. IF the reports of her and Chris Brown being back together are true, then she's just stupid. I get that she likely comes from some sort of abusive background, but she has both the means and the opportunity to get herself and keep herself away from him (assuming he abused her) and she's hanging out on an island with him?!?!? I'm pissed at her because she should know better AND because it sets a horrible example for her fans who may encounter a boyfriend who treats them badly...this makes it more likely that they'll forgive and forget and suffer for no good reason.

Like it or not, when you are rich and famous the things you do mean things to people you've never met.

That's all for now...
