Hannah Montana and High School Musical are affronts to the civilized world. Discuss.

[Furore]

It's too bad the fad's over now, because I would have loved to have created an "intellectual discussion" about Pokemon.

THE POKEMON FAD WILL NEVER DIE, DO EET!!!!!. Or for those into the games at any rate. I certainly still play my gameboy games and even enjoy some newer installments such as XD for gamecube which I play on my Wii. Good times...

My point? Make the thread Jin, you know you possibly might want to. Unless of course you don't. But still...

But it isn't really intelligent. We have had these discussions about the latest fads for years. And when it wasn't us, plenty of others have had it. It isn't just High School Musical, it was boy bands in the nineties and Pokemon.

According to some, none of ID is all that intellectual. I've begun to see this as general chat where you're expected to write at least a couple of sentences rather than just more than one line myself. Just roll with it, aye?
Or make a new topic on something intellectual such as possible connections between loss of pubic hair and global warming. Or similar. BE CREATIVE!!!

Quoted for truth, lets take a look back though time:

Grease
Dirty Dancing
Thunder Cats
Transformers of old
Voltron
Scooby-doo
I love lucy
Monty Python (see not all limited to the U.S)

These are just a few that came to mind at first. All where trndy for thier time, and some still are. People have spent god knows how much on standard merchandice so capitalist can make a few extra bucks and we the consumers are the suckers who fall for it, as where our parents and and the same could be said for theirs.

I'm personally not all that caring about merchandise. If someone wants to wear a sample of what they've enjoyed, fine. Either way I'll still think someone who's bought everything in an overpriced tie-in line either rich, stupid or possibly even both. That or very smart if said items will possibly be rare and valuable at some point in time. I still kick myself for giving away my old pokemon cards. Some are worth a small fortune now...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that me being involved was concrete evidence that the discussion at hand is intelligent. Really, I'm quite honoured you think so. All this time I thought I was just a sarcastic ass that liked to read his own posts, but now that you've brought it up, maybe my posting in a discussion does necessarily make it intelligent. Yeah, I think you're right. Isn't it odd though, given that, that I was not even nominated for most intelligent this year. Puzzling.








Vote Jin for most sarcastic.

You make the majority of us laugh our asses off. That's the main thing that counts really, isn't it? First person I haven't been able to thanks system twice due to the whole needing to spread it around before going back to the same person. Without humour, there'd just be text. Walls and walls of empty, likely mostly useless text I'd have no real interest in reading. Never change.
