I Rant, Therefore I Am

I hate stupid humour.
I hate that people can laugh at it, and actually find it amusing. It really just boggles my mind that people can be stupid enough to actually enjoy shows like Jackass. Maybe I'm just too intelligent to put myself in a position to emulate stupidity enough to understand where they're coming from. Being intelligent really holds you back from understanding most of society.
I listen to people talk about stuff they see that they just find histerical. I don't even get where they're coming from. People talk about clips on sites such as Break.com and everyone starts laughing; I'll just stare at them. What's funny about a guy crashing his motorcycle?
I look at that and think about how much it's going to cost for not only the hospital bills, but the cost of repairing the bike itself. I see a guy in pain, and I really don't get how that could be something to laugh at. Sure, if a guy crashes his motorcycle into an old lady, who's walker then flys into a mexican, I'll chuckle. Just a crash? Boring.
Man, it'd be cool to see that. I want to play Dominoes with people. If I was an all-powerful king, instead of playing Chess with real people, I'd play my Dominoes. Line all the people up, and use a complex system of wires and weapons to have them all die in a line. I'd make sure they were all people who enjoyed Borat!
Oh, God. I really hate Borat. It's a movie that appeals to fat boys and football players, yet I see adds for it on game sites all the time. I hate that PlayStation brought gaming to the MTV crowd. When I first got into gaming, with WarCraft, video games were for a select group of people. People who enjoyed games that could be played with the mind, instead of the body. Then PlayStation came with it's flashy commercials and MTV-based advertising. Now instead of a true gaming platform - the Wii - being the most talked about system, we get PlayStation 3 with it's MotorCross (be honest, are there any other playable games on it?).
I think I deviated. I guess in a way it requires stupid people to enjoy the PlayStation. Although, I will admit it did have some good games. I would have prefered them on the Saturn, though (Even if it did have it's problems). Seriously, can you remember when those were both at target? Sega had better graphics and better games, but of course SquareEnix just HAD to go to PlayStation. So, instead of better graphics, we got shitty aliased images that lacked NURBS (which allow for 3D curves, instead of blocks - the N64 was the only system to impliment it).
Did I mention that to make the PlayStation, Sony took not only the technology they had developed for Nintendo, but also whatever Nintendo had developed thus far?
Lovely.
