A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion.
-- Chinese Proverb
Somewhere along the way, it seems that people have forgotten that opinions are like asses; everyone has one. Some more than others.
Take for example, Carrie Prejean, the runner-up for the recent Miss USA contest. Its widely known she lost the contest because she doesnt agree with gay marriage and said so during the event. That was her opinion and she was honest enough to say it.
The one judge who didnt agree gave her a lower score because of that opinion. That was his perogative as a judge. But then afterwards to call her a bitch on his public forum was abit much. Apparently, she was a bitch because she didnt agree to his beliefs.
How ironic. Sounds alot like discrimination.
After all, someone doesnt subscribe to the same beliefs as you, they must be a hate-monger. If they dont look like you or dont act like you, they are wrong. They must be evil and be vilified.
Thats just my humble opinion.
So if she lied and said she did agree with it, would she have won? Would he have called her been absolutely brilliant? A role model to kids? An stunning beauty? Probably.
That would have made her a hypocrite. As opposed to a bitch.
But then again, thats just my opinion. You dont have to agree with me. We'll just agree to disagree.
Along those lines, I just had to include this video. I had seen the original commercial and died laughing. It really isnt the best tool to convince parents to buy a kid's meal. Perhaps if I had kids that were 10 or so, I wouldnt mind so much, but if I had kids under that age, it wouldnt make me want to buy the meal.
Thats the best thing about disagreeing with a corporation. You can show your disagreement by taking your shopping priviledge elsewhere.
Regardless, I still find it damn funny, not to mention, original as hell.
Booty is booty. Some just have more than others.
[Update: The original video was removed by the user so I put in another one, but the quality wasnt as good. Still funny as hell though. Might have to turn off the annoying annotations.]
