OK, lots of DUers don't give a sh*t about the royal baby. What don't you give a sh*t about?


Let's spread the sh*t around!

I'll start:

Professional sports and the great big amateur sports fest called the Olympics

guns

comic books and the endless cycle of comic book and action hero movies



Lots more will occur to me, I'm sure. Just getting the list started. Add your own!

The people who chime in on threads to say they don't give a shit are beginning to drive me insane. I can spare a happy thought for Kate and Will on the birth of their baby at the same time I spare a passing thought to Dennis Farina on his passing. I don't know any of them personally but they are fellow humans and so we are connected. We all care more about some subjects than others, we're all human. Care, don't care, what ever you choose just please stop the pissing and moaning in other people's threads. Thanks.

Snooki, and other manufactured celebrities.

Professional and amateur sports at all levels from T ball on up.

Sci-fi and fantasy movies and comic book heroes, and movies that should be titled
"EXPLOSIONS AND SHIT" or "ANOTHER FUCKING ELF".

Movies about people who kill/injure others for a living such as Godfather series, Million Dollar Baby, Hannibal Lecter, zombie and horror movies.

Nearly all TV shows. Medical shows, cop shows, crime shows. All manufactured crises promoted by the network news as something we should care about.

Celebrity magazines such as "People" or "Us" which should be titled "Who's Fucking Whom".

The Olympics and guns, like the OP.

Porn. Pictures of naked people.

Alcohol, beer, wine, distilled spirits and any variations thereof.

Exotic food which I probably don't like anyway including spicy food.

Rich muffies who run around in packs and squeal a lot, as depicted in "Sex and the City".

Plastic surgery, especially boob jobs.

What any man thinks of my appearance with the exception of my DH.

99% of all fiction out there. I read non-fiction.

Middle American redneck values such as flag-waving and machismo.

What other people do with their bodies, and that includes gay people.

Abrahamic religions. I am only interested in Asian religions and secular humanism.

What other people think of me except for my DH.

New cars or judging people by what kind of car they drive.

Controlling other people.

Ads for just about everything.

Popular music.

All the depressing crap out there the media wants us to pay attention to, especially country music, rap and hiphop.

Depressing artwork like the Rothko Chapel, for example. No wonder the guy killed himself!!!

All I see is deep purple, almost black.

I had an art professor once who said that Rothko tried to make abstraction represent concepts, and failed, for whatever that's worth.

Maybe I'm an idiot.

However, I do enjoy some Olympic events, like the track and field. "Let's see who can run the fastest" seems about as ancient and pure a "sport" as you can get, minus the steroids.

is that they call "music" these days. I saw a morning show last week that had two bands/groups on it. Each did two numbers, and all four songs sounded the same. Even between the two groups. Seriously, what's up with all this, "Oh oh oh oh...oh...oh oh oh ohohohoh..." crap in every damned song???

Zombies, werewolves, and vampires. I'll be glad when they all die.

Kardashians, Snookis, and Honey Boo-Boos. I find them all highly repulsive. Which makes me feel guilty for saying that about a kid, but...ewwww...I'm sorry. Honey Boo-Boo just makes my stomach turn and I don't know why.

The latest fashion trends. Cute shoes.

Celebrity gossip.

Numbers. Seriously. Numbers piss me off. I don't just not give a shit about them. I actually want to strangle them before chopping them into tiny bits and burning them in a roaring campfire. Double for Sukoku puzzles.

Any of those American Idol copycat shows on nowadays. Singing. Dancing. Shooting flaming circus clowns out one's asscrack into a vat of tapioca pudding while reciting the Gettysburg Address...don't give a shit.
