People are Dumb

People are dumb. Three examples:

1. The Palin-Couric Interview. I can't help but mention this past week's catastrophic Palin interview. A perfect example of people being dumb. In this case, not Palin, McCain. It has become completely obvious to me that McCain has tasked Miss North Carolina with prepping Palin for her interviews. I personally believe that this was a huge mistake, such as The Iraq.



2. Each and every Subway eatery in the downtown area. Uhm, it's a sandwich, and I'm walking you through the ingredients. How can you get it wrong? How can you accidentally leave your glove in my sandwich (this actually happened!!)? Then how does it become my fault? If you call yourself a sandwich artist, I totally expect a Monet, not a crushed velvet clown playing poker with dogs.

3. The ending to the movie Pretty in Pink, aka the worst movie ending in history. The film's finale has always disappointed me. How could Andie end up with Blaine, not Duckie? Blaine? That's not a name, that's a major appliance. A few years ago I found out that in the original ending to the film Andie and Duckie DID end up together. The film was shown to a test audience and a new ending was taped prior to its release based on the test audience's reaction. I want to know who these cold, heartless people are. I want names! I mean come on, Duckie v. Blaine, there's no contest. Yes, Blaine was fairly adorable. But he was also boring and spineless. Duckie, on the other hand, was lovably eccentric and uber cool. He had fantastic taste in music, how can we forget his homage to Otis Redding?



Swoon. Moreover, Duckie adored Andie and stood up for her as Blaine coward in the stairwell. How could a test audience get is so very wrong? Sigh. At least Valley Girl got it right.
