I got to thinking about things/people/places that are raved about by many and put high upon a pedestal – but I personally don’t get it or remotely agree with it. So I put my own little list down below and please feel free to agree and be my bud, disagree and tear me a new one, or come up with your own deal.

#1 – AL GORE and HIS GLOBAL WARMING MACHINE of CHAOS and DESTRUCTION
Being a purveyor of doom and gloom is big business these days, and Albert Arnold Gore makes millions in speaking engagements world wide. Scientists across the globe have publically challenged Uncle Al, claiming that his second-hand theories about polar ice caps melting (he’s a politician, not a scientist, please let’s remember that) are bupkis. The once cardboard cutout presidential candidate now wears jeans, tells jokes and wants us to buy into his fear-mongering hype. The only thing going green for that windbag is his mammoth bank account.

You’ve gotta watch this YOU TUBE video> AL is Fulla Shineola.com

#2: OPUS X CIGARS BY FUENTE
For ten years they’ve been raved about, lauded, and put high upon the cigar world’s golden podium. The OPUS X has received more attention than Rosie O’donnell at an all-you-can-eat buffet – and quite simply, I don’t friggin get it. They are not well rounded, have little to no depth, and are basically just plain blow your palate out, powerful. Of course every OPUS gets a 90 plus rating in Cigar Aficionado, which we all know has NOTHING to do with the six full-page ads an issue Fuente has in the magazine.

#3: DANE COOK
Perhaps the “un-funniest” comedian who ever roamed the face of this earth. I have NEVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, laughed at one single word from his mouth.

#4: SURVIVOR
Year after year I scratch my head wondering why people get ga-ga over this mindless pap. A group of cutthroats and backstabbers eat grubs and bat feces while living in some God forsaken, rat infested volcanic jungle – ok, all for a cool million bucks, but the losers get diddy squat. The first season was made famous by a flaming poofter who won the million by parading around in his birthday pajamas while lying to and manipulating everyone who trusted him. F@#k these immunity sucking, alliance faking lowlifes – I’ve been married for twenty years and I am without question, the REAL survivor!

#5: DIVAS
Mariah Carey, Babs Streisand, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner – They are the prima donnas of our time and they think their shit smells like rosewater. Their music sucks, their “holier than thou” attitudes suck, and their shoe closets have more square footage than my entire house. F.U., you pill poppin’, bitch-slapped, Guam baby adopting, sequin gowned, re-hab regulars. No, really…F.U.

#6: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
Is it just me, or was this movie harder to follow than reading Shakespeare’s original old English version of Hamlet while snorting multiple viles of crack? Somebody, anybody, please – for the love of God, tell me what happened – especially at the end? Maybe I’m just a trite dumb-ass who digs popcorn flicks, but when a movie like this (and My Left Foot, Chariots of Fire, & Out of Africa) wins an Oscar and is hailed as best picture, it is quite obvious I am not the fu-fu Hollywood film purist type.

#7: ABS
You don’t need six of ‘em to be a “real” man. I have a one pack and it’s filled with love… and red meat. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.

#8: OHIO STATE FOOTBALL
They won’t lose in the NCAA Championship game this year because they won’t get close to being there. How does a supposed national “powerhouse” open against a team like Youngstown State? And, wow, did the USC Trojans unmercifully kick their asses up and down the field. Overrated last year as well.

There you have it… that’s my two cents. Care to throw in some more coin?

What or who do you think is highly OVERRATED?…
