Some people just shouldn’t be writers
by Bakari on Sep.09, 2009, under Random
If you know me, you know English is my forte. When I read a publication like a newspaper, magazine, or whatever riddled with mistakes I get frustrated and mull over the mistakes. I’ve been known to contact the publisher even. I could easily make it as an editor or writer if I wanted but it’s not. Yes, saying that makes me seem conceited but I’m not. I can easily prove it. Backstory aside, I recently came across this article Google’s gourmet embarrassed on ‘Top Chef’ while randomly surfing the net and after reading it, felt Twilight’d. For those of you who don’t know what Twilight’d means, I shall use an anecdote and the next paragraph to explain.
<rant>I saw Twilight full price ($7.50) at the theater because the trailers made it look like it’d be worth watching. It wasn’t. I haven’t seen a movie worse than Twilight. I take that back since I’ve seen Superman Returns, or at least the parts I didn’t fall asleep for. It was full of bad dialogue, sub-par acting by some, and was exceedingly slow and boring. It was like observing the most awkward highers on their most awkward of dates. Needless to say, I felt cheated, misled, and I wanted a 100% refund on my money. Since then I refer being mislead, subjected to corniness, subjected to a waste of money/time, or made to watch a bad performance as being Twilight’d.</rant> (continue reading…)
