    i enjoy posting to this board because i can talk about tv.

    I second that. You can talk about nostalgic things, and not feel like a loser.

        I hate low rise pants. Just because it's the actual "trend", I can't buy nice pants anymore, except Dickies brand. I often see pants that I find cool but, I can't wear them because it's low rise. Also, because I have a surgical scar at the bottom of my back and it can't be corrected. Fashion suck nowadays!

          The "obesity epidemic"-- Never mind AIDS, cancer, or bird flu, the number one health crisis is that people aren't pretty enough. Hence, we witness the transformation of Cookie Monster into Sometime Food Monster (yeah, I know that's been beaten to death around here, but it still sucks), and Dr. Phil into America's fitness guru, even though he weighs about 250 lbs. himself.

          Political pundits on news entertainment stations-- It doesn't matter where they fall politically; they're all equally obnoxious and dull, and they spend pretty much every show screaming at their guests instead of discussing the issues at hand, so no one, especially the viewer, ever walks away having learned anything new.

          The president-- No comment.

          Capri pants-- When I was a kid, we made fun of the kids who wore high-water pants; now, they're a fashion statement. Doesn't anyone wear shorts anymore?

          Low-rider pants-- Two words: plumber's crack. It's not attractive on women, either.

          The deaths of some of my favorite musicians, including Joe Strummer and George Harrison.

          The "Girls Gone Wild" phenomenon-- I will never comprehend in a million years how anyone could find drunken teenage girls acting like idiots sexy. I do know, however, that it would be prudent to avoid dating the men who enjoy this crap.

            Endless and mindless reality shows, one garbage-fest after the other, over political correctness-basically not being able to say anything 'out of the norm' without being labeled, stick-thin hairstyles (I prefer the big hair of the 80's and early 90's), atrocious music, and outrageously expensive clothes (which is why all my clothes will be hand-made).

              Another thing I hate about the '00s is American Idol. That's one show that won't be canceled anytime soon. :roll:

                Only on women who have a long torso with an actual waistline; they're definitely not flattering if you have extra pot belly hanging out, large obliques and/or no waistline. All styles aren't made to fit everyone. :shakes head:

                    The only good thing about TV in the 00's is the revival of the Doctor Who series! I love this show.

                        I have to wait until october to see the second season, starring David Tennant as tenth, on CBC. I saw the movie with the eighth doctor on some french channel. I would be a good movie if Eric Roberts wasn't in it.

                            Technology, I agree, is the only good thing I can think of. The only shitty technology I can think of is that stupid TV Fridge, which only encourages people to get fatter. Think about it, they don't even have to walk from the kitchen to the living room and back to get food. Now they can just sit there and watch and grab food at the same time and get fat without getting off their asses to get it.

                            Everything sucks.

                                          here's some more

                                          The need for expensive materials (Ipods, RAZR phones etc) to fit in
                                          The kids having to grow up fast nowadays (the kids act older than they should, when I was a kid, kids remained kids and knew how to have fun. Now a lot of them watch MTV and buy designer clothes like Abercrombie and the likes. I hardly see kids playing outside anymore.)
                                          The fashion (it's all gangsta style or goth/emo style)
                                          The education system (No Child Left Behind and other nonsense school goverment programs)
                                          Myspace (pointless, enough said)
                                          kids getting fat (most schools stop having recess because of stupid standardized testing)
                                          Parent Groups blaming others for their bratty kids' problems (Soccer Moms who else)
                                          Pretty much almost everything.
