Anderson Cooper, my boyfriend favorite news anchor, has a blog/segment for people who make his Ridiculist, you can see it here: ACisnotgay. (such as the Olsen twins $39k backpack....nuff said.)
I decided to make my own Ridiculist (if this becomes famous, please don't sue me, Anderson. We have a special connection. It's called cable).
1. Quilted toilet papers. Or any patterned toilet paper. We use it to wipe our butts. The marketing engineers on this product are geniuses, simply because they can take something absolutely disgusting and add some sort of matronly sentimental value to it. Bravo, toilet paper marketers, bravo. (these are my real thoughts as I grocery shop.)
2. Ironing. Where do we get this notion that straight/even clothing looks nice? Why can't wrinkles be the norm? Sure, I have my own personal penchant for wrinkles. Well, not really a penchant, more like a lack of caring. My poor children.
3. Straight heads. My son just got a helmet for his flathead. Kinda silly, right? Why do I want his noggin to be so round? I think it's more appealing. Yes, but why? All right, I won't get all existential on you. But other people are desiring round heads too, because we as a human race invented something as vain as a helmet that we subject our children to wear. And they hate it. Oh, the humanity!
4. Farts. Not that I think farts are actually ridiculous, but just that we still think they are gross/funny after thousands of years of farting. Don't you think we'd be used to it by now? Nope. Still gross/funny.
5. Celebrities, in general. Oh, get over yourselves. Just live in normal houses and stop acting all pretentious. I dare you! Except for Tina Fey. You, Ms. Fey are the perfect celebrity.
These are just a few of the things on my Ridiculist. What would be on yours?
