i would really like to know why our society is infatuated with the word "extreme." as i get my cup of coffee this morning (and some fine peanut butter creme cookies) i notice a bag of Extreme Doritos. Ok, so we have the "extreme" sports. most of which are events that you do w/o snow. oooo, now that's extreme if you ask me. it tends to breed normal 30-somethings into idiotic teenagers. perhaps it's the fountain of youth or maybe the fountain of youth and stupidity go hand in hand.

anyway, back to my mention of Extreme Doritos. can anyone tell my how a baked or fried piece of food can be extreme? how idiotic is it to name a chip extreme? this idea is taking over everything. even here in the software industry, extreme programming (XP) and what i hate the most is stupid Nickelodeon cartoons with that god-awful animation style of rugrats. i don't know what the cartoon is called, but it's five kids doing "extreme" sports. the kids with oversized heads (and egos) doing really dumb and stupid things. yes, i know it's meant for a younger audience, but when flipping thru channels and i come across that bloody cartoon, i want to put a brick thru the TV. and yes, that's what all of today's cartoons are looking like now. if it's not a pokemon-like show, it's a freakin' rugrats style cartoon. what happened to woody woodpecker, classics like looney toons, and still a great and original cartoon Animaniacs?!? kids are very deprived today.

well, why fight the system, let's just call this EXTREME effin BLOGGING!! i hate the word extreme.
