Things I'm taking a stand against

As per Earl's request.
So last week I was discussing the various components of my platform should I decide to run for President or something.  These are some things I would abolish or change.

1.  Hashtags on Facebook

#This needs to end.  #For real.  Hashtags are ONLY supposed to be used on Twitter.  In fact, using them on Facebook makes you look stupid.  It makes you look even more stupid if you are one of those people who refuses to get a Twitter but still uses Hashtags anyway.

Hashtags are used on Twitter as a way of tracking trends in regards to certain topics or memes.  Twitter will actually tell you what hashtags are popular at the moment.  Facebook however does not track hashtags, nor even gives a shit about your hashtags.  In fact, people in general don't give a shit about your hashtags and it just makes the Twitter people laugh at you if you use them on Facebook.

2.  HD after everything

Let's get real here, HD refers to the video quality of a video broadcast or display device.  There is a certain level of luxury associated with adding HD to something, like an HDTV versus a SDTV.  I get that.  But putting HD on the title of a game does not make it worth extra money, especially when there is almost no difference between the tablet version and it's mobile phone counterpart.  The only real difference is maximum resolution, which I suppose makes it HD but if you ask me it's a crock of shit to charge extra for something like that.

3.  iLabels need to end

There are two entities on this earth that are allowed to put "i" before something: Apple and Steve Jobs.  Unless you are one of these people, it needs to stop.  In fact, it kind of destroys the integrity of the Apple brand by putting "i" in front of your piece of crap iPhone accesory.

4.  Ketchup

Yes, Ketchup.  I personally have nothing against ketchup when it is used properly.  However, putting Ketchup on things like steak is insulting.  In fact, why even eat the steak?  The overpowering taste of your ketchup is so much that you might as well be eating tofu, in fact, become a vegetarian you insult to meat eaters everywhere.  Ketchup is fine on potatoes, hot dogs and burgers but it's hard to justify putting it on anything else.  Fry sauce too, GTFO.

You are welcome Earl
