Really Now?

Why The Hell Do People Write Product Reviews Like This With Every Damn Word Capitalized? It Is Annoying As All Hell And It Takes Forever To Type This Way. Also, It Makes Me Assume The Writer Is A Moron. So Please People - Don't Write Like This!

People's opinions make me cranky. That is all.

I have a bigger personal hate than The Capitals People, and it's people who write reviews of films they haven't even watched. eg 'this film is so boring that I put it off after 10 minutes'. And there are so many people on the internet doing it! Almost as irritating though are the people who review films they didn't like as if it has been some great waste of their valuable life and they feel cheated. I'm sure you were only 90 minutes away from that cancer cure, if only it hadn't been for that damn DVD!

It's amazing, reading product reviews for a living. The vast majority of people who write them seem to have the attitude that they are owed something by purchasing a product or seeing a movie or playing a game or eating out.

I will never forget the Saturday when my parents rented The Crying Game. They didn't last through the opening twenty, because my mother got all upset about the IRA violence. I've always been a tiny bit grateful for that.
