This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Rugby
Both types, not that I know the difference.

I just don't get it- why is this such a popular sport? Why do people go mad for watching it. Football I kind of understand, it's easier to follow and easier to play with your mates in the park if you want, but rugby- no. Makes no sense to me. I've tried to understand it, and watch it, but no thanks.

Madonna
WHAT is so special about this so-called "controversial" (oh look at me I can gyrate onstage like everyone else but my my, aren't I shocking) bint whose singing voice probably wouldn't get her very far on the X factor - not that I endorse that. I digress.

Did this woman do something like discover penicillin that I happened to miss during my stoner years or is she just an over-rated cow who takes herself way too seriously for her very little talent!

Second Life
The primary one is annoying enough, why must people persist with a second one? Which by the way, is not a "life". It's a lonely, miserable, dark period in your actual life you will regret when you're lying on your death bed and you realise the furthest south you ever travelled was your post office.

Shopping Channels
Not only are the presenters the most irritating fucknuckles ever to draw breath, who somehow manage to talk while breathing to ensure there are no gaps their inane patter, but the tat they push is so shit that even JML turned it down.
Then, to add insult to injury, the mouth-breathers who want to buy this worthless crap allow themselves to be charged a quid to phone the order line and another eight notes for delivery - even if it's a set of fucking earrings.

And don't get me started on the late night gambling channels.

Blow jobs
Nope. Sorry. Don't understand the attraction.

I'm as red-blooded a male as you're ever likely to meet, but face-fucking leaves me cold. I just don't get it. Why would I think it erotic - hell, why would I think it even minimally decent - to expect someone to accept a mouthful of spunk? It strikes me as indicative of a deeply brutal, misogynistic way of seeing a partner.

(I accept that the last sentence belies a heterosexual bias - but you can alter the sex of the "recipient" if you want. It's an unpleasant way to treat another person either way.)

But now the oddity: I don't feel the same way about going down on a woman. I quite like that.






I realise that I don't often answer QsotW in earnest. Normal abuse will be resumed shortly.

Ugly Betty
I do not understand how it's a comedy, there are no jokes, and you cannot connect with any of the characters. Unfunny unless your level of humour is 'Betty falls over' or 'Betty walks into something'. I tried the first episode, didn't like it, but in the interest of fairness I tried it again a few weeks later, and it was somehow even worse. Please feel free to challenge me on this and explain how Ugly Betty is worth watching, because I just don't understand why anyone would think it is.

Born again aetheists
You're as annoying, if not more so, than born again Christians (or whatever). Im no fan of organised religion (the Pope can fuck right off) but every where I go I just see stuff by Dawkins et al and it really grinds my gears. Can't we just accept some people believe in "God", and just because YOU don't does not make them (necessarily) a naive retard.

Ok I dont know how to address this man without wanting to punch something but...
Russell FUCKING Brand. Arg FUCK! There's not a word in the English language harsh enough to describe this foul fucking waste of space. I would enjoy nothing more than setting him on fire and beating him with a lead pipe.

..........*ahem*

Other things:

Going out on a Friday and/or saturday night and getting so pissed you end up throwing up on someone and passing out. Dont get me wrong, I like a good piss up as much as the next bloke, but I never get to that point

Going to places that force you to wear a shirt and shoes. If the place won't let me wear clothes I'm most comfortable in, it's not worth it.

Emo kids/music....just why do they exist?

Flap shots
This might sound a bit weird but...what is it with porn mags and hamburger shots?
Naked women, great, all in favour, but why this obsession with seeing how far up her chuff you can stick the lens? It's not particularly erotic and the usual result is to put me off kebabs for a week.

Experts.
I fucking hate experts.
You know the type, you will be quietly watching This Morning and suddenly some lifestyle expert comes on to tell us what to eat/what to wear/how to have regular bowel movements/how to please our partners etc.

these people have never met me and are usually far to young to be an expert on anything.

But people seem to eat all their advice up.

Its bollocks guys, think for yourselves.

Length? according to experts the average is 6", so im ok.

im probably talking to the wrong people here
the other night i stayed over at the other halfs where there were laughs, jokes, and drinks. the games console came out, played a couple of games then everyone eventually went to bed, except the other half. he muttered something about coming up soon so i patiently got ready for bed, got in and conked out with the light on.

7 in the morning rolls around. he bounds in and wakes me up. he has beaten the record on a track by an entire second.

whats more. i woke up the next day and trundled downstairs. i told all the boys incredulously why sam was still in bed at 3 in the afternoon. their reaction? to check the record, get annoyed and immediately start trying to beat it again.

im all for games. but staying up all night to beat a race track record by a second? i dont see the attraction.

In university halls of residence. That thing when you share a room...
...and one of you has to not go in because the other is having 'Sexy Time' and has left some sort of sign on the door. This used to be a regular occurance of a mate of mine when I was in London. He studied computer sciences (or some such, I spent most of my time in London drunk) and I shall call him Hugh, for 'twas his name (Ahh the laughter we had at his expense, many, many jokes he had heard since he was about three). Anyway, his room-mate was a stoner called 'Mutch' (He was actually called Jason Starskey but the obvious reference to the seventies cop show meant that he ultimately became known as Mutch through mispronouncing it whilst drunk/high) who was on the same course as he and, by all accounts, was beating off the lady-folk with a poo-covered stick. This annoyed the Heck out of Hugh who would have to stand in the hallway or bugger off to the nearest bar until Mutch and lady-friend had finished. It became well-established fact* that this is why, after a few months, Hugh came out of the closet to us all. Thus it began the legend, 'What leaves Hugh cold, just as Mutch has it. Turns everyone else son.'

What don't I get?
More like who...

I do NOT get Bob Dylan. I'm sorry. He's a good to very good songwriter, true; I'll be the first one to admit that. But as a performer -- dear gods, people.

1. His singing is so nasal as to actually sound as if he has several pounds of shortening shoved in his sinuses.
2. He's utterly inarticulate. I know his lyrics are insightful, but that's because I've read the damned things. I couldn't tell you what he was saying ninety percent of the time to save my life. Bon Scott could give him diction lessons. Hell, Graham Chapman with fake teeth could have given him diction lessons. I've talked to retarded parrots with more precision of speech.
3. He's ugly. And I don't mean 'so ugly he's cute' ugly, like, say, Tom Waits. He's just ugly. He looks like five miles of bad road. He looks like he has had regular facials with a cheese grater. If he pulled up driving a van with no windows, I'd hide my daughter.
4. Fact is, my boss -- gods love 'im -- went to see Dylan this summer, and brought back a bootleg. He hasn't improved with age. His singing is worse, and his guitar playing is...enh.

Sorry, I don't get it. If Bob Dylan is the voice of a generation, then apparently that voice can't speak -- or sing -- English of ANY sort.

Nirvana
The band. I heard a mates copy of "Bleach" and remeber thinking "What a bloody racket". Then when "Nevermind" went global I bought a c opy and played and played and played it, all the time thinking "It's a work of genius; I must be missing something". I came to the conclusion I was missing the Hype.

There must be something in it, but I cqan't see the appeal of whisky. It tastes like chewing a very old pencil. My mate has toured most if not all the distilleries in Scotland and has dozens of bottles of whisky. I've sampled several quality blends and single malts and yet I can't get into it.

David Bowie
David fucking Bowie.

His records are awful and the only original thing he did was dress up like a fucking helmet in a way that for very good reasons no one else had done before. He looked like a cretin.

We’re dealing with a man who, prior to finding success with a spasticated song cashing in on the recent moon landings (pathetic in itself), had already had TWO failed pop careers in different styles. The Stooges (for example) sounded like the Stooges. If no one liked that (and few did when they started out) they didn’t change styles to suit, they just carried on being The Stooges. It’s called integrity. Something ghastly tranny and attention whore Bowie knows nothing about.

Drum’n’Bass? The twat has even had a go at that to stay popular. And don’t give me the ‘pop chameleon’ line either. He’s desperately coat-tailed on the back of any bandwagon going (I’m so angry I’m mixing metaphors now) for decades, and his monkey-straining-for-a-shit delivery sucks a massive cock. ‘The Laughing Gnome’? A terrible Syd Barrett pastiche that certainly doesn’t have me laughing.

He ruined Raw Power by the aforementioned Stooges with his dismal attempt at producing. The mix is fucking retarded, panning all over the show, levels up and down everywhere.

His best song is Rebel Rebel – when he was coat-tailing on the massive success of the Stones. Other than that, the man is utterly without merit.
