Who or What Do You Find Overrated?

Mine is definitely Kim K. I just think I sucks how much money and publicity she made over her wedding and subsequent divorce. It makes me sad that she was with him, engaged, married, and divorced in under two years, and my two best friends can't marry each other, after being in a loving, monogamous relationship for 5 years already.

I am soooooo over Kim K, she makes me sick.

Mean people
Exclusion
Money worshipping
Car payments/new cars
All of the GOP candidates
Ann Coulter
massages
Victoria Secret bras
Taco Bell

.....my short list! LOL

Michael Jackson

(sorry, yeah, I get his contribution to the music world, but I don't think he was that great. And he molested children)

- Homophobia

- The Twilight Series, "Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”
― Stephen King

- Budget cuts to social services

- Abstinence only sex education

- Glenn Beck

- Fake creamer/sweetener

- Ochra / Eggplant

- Rain (just kidding - not overrated...I'm just not excited about it)

- Wet feet

- Acrylic Paint

...I could go on.
I'm running on a few hours of sleep and could gripe about almost anything ;-)

KIM KARDASHIAN.. who the (*)*(^)&^ thinks she is worth all that NEWS yuck

Miley Cyrus
Brittney Spears
Sarah Palin
Rick Perry
Herman Cain
Michelle Bachman
IHOP
Friendly's
Skinny bitches
the PTA
A restaurant near me everyone loves called Vincent's clam bar. Their sauce is too sweet.

I have some of the same as you..

Lady Gaga
Kardashian's
Twilight..

But also Lil' Wayne....YUCK
Angelina Jolie...BARF

The Snuggie...just DUMB, turn your robe around!
Vaccines for everything under the sun
Skinny jeans, HATE them lol

Those are just a few I can think of right now!!

WAIT WAIT.....
Can't believe I didn't mention Jersey shore! That is the grossest group of people I have ever seen!!! Snookie is disquisting, who would ever date that? And the "situation"...there's NOTHING attractive or appealing about that POS. I hate how being drunken, slutty, losers is being glorified and rewarded! Send me to Italy!!!

New cars (THEY ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT PEOPLE!)

Living beyond your means

Holidays not being celebrated for the real reason they exist. Sitting around on Thanksgiving and eating till you burst does not count as a celebration.

Rude people for NO reason

Fake boobs

Buying Christmas gifts for TONS of people - don't get me wrong, I am no scrooge. But really, does it make sense to buy me a gift card and then I buy you a gift card? We could save the money and time and just shop for ourselves! I am a huge fan of buying for those less fortunate than ourselves, but I think the idea of gift giving has gotten OUT OF HAND =)

All fast food joints

The "war" on drugs

Brittney Spears - is she seriously still making "music"?!

Politicians (now, not years ago, or, "the good ol' days!)

My list is pretty similar to yours. We also have great drinking water, so with that I have to add "covered water reservoirs". Our town has been fighting the feds for years to keep our reservoirs open; we have a park that has three beautiful historic reservoirs. I'm sad they're going to be covered.

Also Lemondrops. I've gone to several events where that was 'the drink' for the evening. They're way too sweet for me and I'd prefer a gin martini.

Oh, and the ever-ubiquitous 'auto tune' thing that's invaded the radio. While it's somewhat a brilliant idea to subvert a tool which is meant to correct off-key/off pitch performances by causing it to disguise one's voice entirely, giving the "robot voice" effect, I think it's a cheap trick for those whose singing isn't actually up to par. It's like going to a lackluster restaurant that has great sauces to put on mediocre food.

My list could go on, but I'd just look like a cranky old lady, so I'll stop here.

Haha, I agree with each item on your list and will add...

*Designer clothing & perfumes/cologne
*Movado watches
*Mercedes cars
*Everything on MTV
*Sean Hannity (and I say this as someone who is firmly on the Right)
*manicures (but pedicures ARE worth it)
*huge kid birthday parties - mine were only just frozen pizza, my mom's angel food cake & my 4 siblings, 3 cousins (I have 30 first cousins), and my nextdoor neighbors
*video games
*The POTUS
*Mega-churches

Love your list. Since we haven't watched TV in nearly 4 years, it's amazing what my list would look like. Here's the cliff notes version -
1. Celebrity Anything - news, magazines, fashion, etc. - They use toilets just like the rest of us so let's move on already.
2. Fads - My family will look, feel and be dated without anyone's input regarding fashion, toys, parenting, food, diets, etc. We'll just march to our own beat.
3. Holidays and birthdays - oh my. Can they get any more commericialized? I just want to celebrate Christmas in July and Thanksgiving in the spring, sprinkling the rest of the biggies along the way as I darn well please.

LOL. In addition to your list:

chain restaurants
most reality tv
Kleenex with lotion/aloe/Vitamin whatever (I could never tell a difference)
flylady
Easter Bunny (serves no purpose, not nearly as cool as Santa)
thongs
lunchmeat (for some reason I'm always disappointed)
Angelina Jolie
swiffers

I love bottled water and victorias secret!.......those other things can go out the window!

~Well i dont really get the whole twilight thing, I dont hate it but ~eh~

~I thought avatar was a BORE and they were really inappropriate with those flying animals

~i hate watching sports, ugh! and im feeling betrayed by the sheer amount of females around me i see pretending to like them.

~skinny jeans, most of the people wearing them really shouldnt.

~LMFAO is the worst band that ever existed and along those lines, auto tune should never have been invented

~jersey shore or any pointless reality t.v. of its kind. Just stop it already!

I am tired of the Vampires too.
Tori Spelling
The Hugh Heffner girls
Kindles
Santa - I know! It doesn't make sense. But I am a little tired of the fat red man getting props for the cool gifts when my husband and I work our butts off!
HD TV's
Football - I think it's the lamest sport...SORRY!!! LOL

Modern pediatric practice.

:(

Reality TV. I think it should all be banded for teaching stupidity.

Birthday parties & Santa Claus!!!

C.,
Your list could be my list. To a T!
:)

Added: Leah M? Ahahaha! Totally.

I'm with you on the Kardashians. And Jersey Shore, what is the deal with those people? Are they really that stupid, or is it an act??

Windows, as an operating system. IMO, totally worthless.

I'm smiling because my first response is The Kardashians. Who cares?
- Justin Bieber's alleded love child. I'm pretty sure he's not yet capable of fathering a child...nor is he "interested" in doing so.
- Occupy Wall Street because they are making a statement that simply isn't being heard and is only making the lives harder for people who aren't part of the 1%, but work there.
- Smartphones because I spend my entire day on a laptop and have one for work. Sorry, but I just don't need to have instant access to everyone all the time. Sometimes I like being a little isolated!

I agree with most of these lists! Whatever Snooki is, she's there. And a LOT of the reality shows. Just don't get them. Except for Project Runway, I skip them all.

Anyone else have a thorn in their side from Tori Spelling? I see her everywhere and I have no idea why she's famous. No talent hack.

Gee, that's a little harsh. *snicker*

* "I" anything. Why did we allow ourselves to be brainwashed into a proprietary form of technology. No competition as far as most consumers are aware...because they do not look or investigate! They can charge whatever the hell they want now. All of you are hooked! It makes me insane! (and yes I am a techy based person. I love my MP3 player..a ZUNE which is a Microsoft product...and have a high end smart phone I love as well and an eReader!)

*Any reality show like Jersey Shore or anything close to it. I do like some of the competition shows like Americal Idol and the Sing Off, however.

*fancy cars
*vampire anything
*fancy fingernails
*twitter
*celebrity gossip and magazines (who CARES!)

Its all I got for now!

Hey now! Easy with the vampire thing :)
Im pms'ing so I hate everything right about now.
ill tell ya what I love though, these lays tater chips and the full strength coke im guzzling!!!

Your list is pretty accurate, but I would add:

- ALL of the Real House wives (have no interest in watching them)
- Reality T.V. in general
- American Idol
- The Bachelor/Bachelorette
- The private lives of "consenting adults"
- Fox news
- The weight “ups and downs” of most celebrities
- Elizabeth Hasselbeck
- iPhone/iPad (maybe because I’ve never owned one and can’t afford it either, but I don’t feel the need to)

Most reality TV unless it's cooking related.

The "real" housewives make me want to puke - I wish they'd put the " around the real cause they're certainly not like any people I know.

The Kardashians - what have any of these people done that's worth watching?

Twilight - Buffy kick's its butt all over town. Better story, better writing. I just can NOT wrap my head around sparkling vampires.

Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving - unless you live in another country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, they shouldn't go up till Nov. 25/26th.

Ugh...

* CNN
* OWS - or whatever they want to call it and the nonsense that is ensuing because of it
* I agree with the divide this country is in - what a shame
* 2012 stickers for another 4 years of hell under Obama
* My love of reality TV (as annoying as it is, I find myself hooked)
* The insane amount of work in my MBA classes...

I could go on and on...but that at least starts the list.

Funny because this week I've been doing a loves and hates thing on my FB status :).

I agree with all who said the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Real Housewives. The rest of my list is:

- Dancing with the Stars
- Nancy Grace
- The View (especially Elizabeth Hasselbeck)
- Glenn Beck
- Christmas and New Year's
- teacher bashing/union bashing
- funding a war but not education, social services, or decent operating budgets for cities and towns
- Twitter
- sports figures making MILLIONS then going on strike, and/or complaining that they have to sign with other teams to get "respect" and be "valued" as a player
- Abercrombie

I'll probably think of more later!!!!

Goody bags tops my list right now!

I love Victoria Secret, they are the only bras I will wear! Other than that I think your list is a pretty good one. Add to that Iphones!

I second the Kardashians and my all-time annoyed overrated person-

1. Paris Hilton - UGH! Why does the media care about her? She wouldn't have been able to do anything without the success of her parents and her sex video. What does that say to our youth?!?!?

2. The media's criticism of our politician's personal lives is way overrated. Every little move a politician makes in their personal lives someone has to comment on it. They are human, for goodness sake. Seriously, if they pass gas, do I really care??!!?! LOL.

3. Comedians that have to get their laughs from making mean jokes about other people. People who are really funny don't have to use others for their material!!!!

4. FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooh...that felt good. Thanks for asking that question. :)

ALL REALITY SHOWS (except for the cooking ones, because in a parallel life, I'd love to be a chef). I can't boycott the Cash-dashians - oops, Kardashians, because I don't watch them in the first place.
Katy Perry - omg - I had her stupid song stuck in my head yesterday because they play her at my gym. GAH!
Partial to vampires, though, because I have naturally pointy eyeteeth and they are finally fashionable. For now.
