Things that make me go, "Really?!"

Far Right-Winged or Far Left-Winged People. No, I don't mean politicians; I mean people. Politicians are paid to be extremely biased. They are paid to be overly obnoxious, trying to force their beliefs upon everyone. Citizens, on the other hand, are not. I understand debates. I'm all for everyone having his or her own personal opinion on anything and everything. But, Really?! How can you honestly complain about a member or leader of the opposite political party when you're being as close-minded as they are? What is getting accomplished when people are too busy calling the president a socialist? What is getting accomplished when others are just relishing in the fact that our country is no longer under the control of George Bush? Nowhere.

Stereotypes. Not all blondes are dumb. Not all Asian people own donut shops or are superb in math and science. There are white cabbies too! They aren't all from the Middle East! I mean, Really?! Way to be judgmental of people you've never met before. Not all Emo people cut themselves. It's a genre of music. It's a style. Actually, the music and clothes were called emo before they were associated with negative ways of expressing emotion.

Lady Gaga. She has an AMAZING voice. Absolutely fabulous. But her outfits, Really?! That metal, 3-tiered hula hoop thing she wore on SNL? What was the point of that? It really distracts from the quality of the voice that is singing. I seriously just don't understand it.

Cheap off-brands that say "Compare with the leading brand", but you know the leading brand, though more expensive, is better. Really?! Why try? 'Nuff said.

Warnings on microwavable foods. Really?! "Food will be hot." No shiz, Sherlock.

Warnings on cribs, "Do not leave child unattended." Really?! Why not just write, "Parents with less sleep keep the economy going. They buy Monsters, Red Bulls, and lots of alcohol. Thus, you should stay up watching your kid while he/she sleeps instead of getting the 3 hours of sleep you normally get! Yay!" But that's too long, so they just stick with "Do not leave child unattended."

The Youtube video "Leprechaun in Alabama." I demand that you go see it now, otherwise the reason as to why it makes me question why some humans exist will not make sense. Really, Crichton, Alabama?! A leprechaun in a tree that only comes out at night and that disappears into the night when you shine a light on it? Let's be reasonable. Or borderline sane. Something. Please.

And this concluded this week's edition of "Really?! With Hayleigh Elmo".

Later Days.

Peace.
