Are you an organic spammer?

A "Parrot walks in a bar" just kidding, I didn't know how to get this joint rolling, so I started out writing the usual thing in a unusual mood and somehow I ended up here. I guess I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed at stupid trends people adopt with out question. I can trace it back to "Baby on board" signs.Who is the genius behind that one? whoever is, must be in the coin phrase hall of fame, next to the "My kid is an honor student at what ever middle school" sticker people. I get spammed all day as it is and I don't need it on the freeway. I don't care if your kid went to Harvard fuckin preschool and has graduated Magna cum laude of "pee pee in the potty ", I don't care! Just once Id like to see an honest parent put a sticker on their car that reads "MY KiD iS STUpid" in upper and lower case letters for the fun of it. All this nonsense started me thinking about the deep-seated need we have to advertise conformity and sell it as being unique. Fake bullet hole stickers.How did that become cool? Its like someone waring a hair piece, for a minute you think it's real, but after awhile you want to pull it off. This leads me to the next stupid automotive billboard. The rear window stick figure family,you know Dad, Mom,Jennifer,little Jr.,even smaller little Jr.and a tiny little dog. I can't stand it! In some third world countries this is a classified ad for a kid napping. In the same category, I for the life of me DO NOT understand why people need to upload their kids picture as an avatar on Face Book ,Myspace, or any social network. If there is one thing I can't stand is playing poker in a room full of babies that are kicking my ass. I just sit there and stare at a bunch of baby pictures and ponder my stupidity. It's supposed to help me unwind, not feel up tight and guilty for thinking your kid is ugly. Stop it! Keep those damn pictures at home, on a shelf next to the participation trophy. I can't end this joint with out mentioning tattoos. I know many of you disagree with me, but let me ask a question? Why is it cool to put artwork on your body that you would never hang in your home? I have many friends with a lot of tattoos and not one of them has a picture of a snake eating a dragon wrapped around a naked lady,on their walls. On the flip side Chinese symbol tattoos are nothing more than educated graffiti. I guess its just my good sense, but don't you think it is important to fluently understand a language before you get it permanently engraved on yourself? Ill bet there are scores of people running around with "I'M A DICKHEAD" in Chinese tattooed to their necks. If you don't speak Chinese how do you really know what it says. Who knows, maybe there are a bunch of people running around in China with "I'm A DICKHEAD" in English on their necks or better yet tattoos of "Baby on Board" signs on their backs. Either way I'm still annoyed.
