The owner of the avatar in that last rant just sent me this: 
What does this woman have, a direct link into my mind showing what exactly pushes my buttons?
And to make up for your pain, another awesome image!
Edit: Please bear in mind neither of these entries are about the owner of the icon; I was directing all my hatred towards the icon itself. Some readers understood this, some didn't. |

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!
As I'm sure you all know by now, many websites and programs allow you to use pictures as an icon to represent yourself. Often these are called avatars and are meant to represent you, or at least reference something you enjoy. So what the hell does it mean when someone uses this abomination:  ?
Let's stop and take a look at just what it is: a cat deformed in metropolitan art style, with pouty lips, eyelashes you could use to cut cheese, eyeshadow, and a martini. It also appears to be wearing a golden collar, though it's difficult to tell. I don't know how anyone could look at this image and think anything other than "Yuppie".
I love cats. I really do. I even have two kittens bopping around my apartment. But when I look at this alcoholic trendwhore feline, I can't help but feel this intense desire to snap its neck surge through me. There's just something about it that starts a primal rage bubbling within, and I think in your heart, you feel the same way.
What was the artist trying to portray? High class lifestyle? Metropolitan hot spots? To me it looks like a small town artists efforts at representing big city life, trying so hard to be positive but inevitably being influenced by the simmering rage cooking within her repressed and shallow lifestyle. To be honest I'm pretty sure that the style of art used in the avatar is seeing a lot less use in the big city, which is perhaps further infuriating.
I'm not normally one to bitch about a weird avatar. I'm hardly one to talk, given that most of my avatars are ridiculously obscure and reference niche culture that hardly anybody knows about. But there's just something about this God damn cat! And so, to make up for it, here's a much better image of a cat.
HOORAY FOR HAPPYCAT! |

Ok, Tim Burton, you can stop milking the goth market now. I know that it's a guaranteed income now, but when all the fat goth women buying Jack Skellington statues and holding marathons of your films after they parade the dvds around die out from either suicide (LOL GOTHS LOL) or heart attacks (LOL BUTTERTROLLS LOL), who will you have? I still haven't forgiven you for Planet of the Apes 2001, to the point where not even the theme of duality in Batman Returns (Christ, I can't believe there's an actual theme in a comic book film) can make up for it (besides, where the hell did Penguin get the blueprints for the Batmobile anyway?!).
I have not heard good things about The Corpse Bride. The previews, much like the ones for Willy Wonka, did not make me feel inspired or anxious for the film at all. Burton, you have so much potential. Batman was great. Edward Scissorhands was excellent. Nightmare Before Christmas is a lot of fun. Big Fish was surprisingly entertaining.
So why do your films either exceed expections or fall so far into the shitter that even if I was paid I'd have trouble watching it again? You've had a while to figure out what works and what doesn't, and while I'm not expecting perfection every damn time... COME ON. HOW did you let Planet of the Apes end up like that?!
Why all the Depp love too? I mean yeah, the guy is cool, but he's used so much it's kind of... ack.
Anyway, enough ranting for now. |

Crazy Ralph - Flat out nuts. Always thought of as
an odd bird, you have the ability to make
people cross the street when they see you
coming. One day everyone will realize that you
know what you are talking about,but that day
might end up being too late.

My pirate name is:
Bloody Tom Read
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!
Get your own pirate name from fidius.org. |
