Stop Pop Culture

*so the economy is in the dumps, a huge recession cloud is over our heads and the good folks around the world are going ape shit trying to figure out what to do and when it will get better. So I came up with some ideas for all us to help push the global economy back up to the positive side, the main one being that we can cut down on spending our money on stupid shit

LUXURY CARS

*a nice car is only nice when you can actually afford it, not just drive it

You’d be shocked how many times I pass by apartment complexes with BMW’s, Mercedez, Porsches, Lexus’ and Cadillacs parked in the lots. If you’re such a big baller, Mr. Pimp, why the hell don’t you have a cheaper car parked in the driveway of a…HOUSE?!

This is probably my favorite “stupid shit” item people spend money on because it’s a lot of money, it’s done strictly to look good and seems to put LOTS of people in the hole. There’s nothing wrong with a car and nothing wrong with a nice car. But there is something wrong if you have a $30K car and you’re still living in an apartment. That’s just DUMB.

TICKETMASTER & LIVE NATION

 

*this merger could prove to be the Anti-Christ for music fans

Yeah, apparently these two officially merged two days ago, making things even worse for music fans and concert lovers. Basically, by merging, the two conglomerates seem to taking a shot at monopolizing live music.

For you fans who are actually still buying tickets to live concerts, I have just one question for you: 

What the hell is wrong with you?

First off, do you realize that many times, Ticketmaster is completely manipulating the ticket prices because, well, sometimes you try getting tickets to a Springsteen concert on the Ticketmaster website, for example, and then it redirects you to another ticket site that they own where the tickets you’re seeking at face value have now gone from their $55 face value price to the $80-200 range.

This is so criminal and corrupt that even Springsteen, who makes a gazillion dollars from touring, absolutely blasted Ticketmaster for redirecting his fans to a site that made them pay more than face value. However, if you do it, my friends, YOU are the fool.

QUIZNO’S

*Want to save money? Go to Subway instead.

Mmmm…Toasty! Kiss my ass with that toasty crap. Toasty, hot, warm, crispy, who cares? Want to make things easy for your American customers?

STOP MAKING US PAY $10 FOR A LARGE SANDWICH

Okay, so the meat there is good when it’s warmed up but their deli meat is disgusting and their vegetables are like the L.A. Clippers compared to Subways vegetables which are more along the lines of the L.A. Lakers.

But hey, YOU also have to just stop visiting Quizno’s, no matter what. Sandwiches SHOULD NOT be more than $8 for a large sandwich with chips and a drink, such as Subway offers. At Quizno’s, that exact deal is probably $10-11. Ridiculous.

DON’T BUY ANY MORE SANDWICHES FROM QUIZNO’S

CRAPPY HOME TEAMS

  

I’m using the New York Knicks and Washington Redskins as examples for this one because, did you know, that both teams sell out their games?

ALL THE TIME!

THEY’RE BACKED UP FOR A FEW SEASONS!

Yep, in this horrible economy, fans are still attending Redskins and Knicks games and selling out the stadium so there’s no lack of love for those two franchises. 

But, c’mon, you fools: THE KNICKS AND REDSKINS S-U-C-K

It’s one thing if your team is good. Then, you want to go to a game, fine. No matter what you pay, I believe it’s worth it for your favorite team when they’re good enough to make it past the first round of the playoffs, something the Knicks and Redskins don’t do. In fact, they don’t make the playoffs very often anymore.

Yet, people keep buying tickets to watch subpar teams perform horribly night in and night out just because you’re a…fan?

Hey, stupid, guess why your pocket’s empty?

BECAUSE YOU SPENT ALL THAT MONEY TO WATCH A TEAM THAT SUCKS

STOP BUYING TICKETS FOR CRAPPY TEAMS

*now if the Redskins cheerleaders go topless, that’s worth season tickets and I don’t care if they never win a game again
