Trying Too Hard

I wish radio DJs with their inane mutterings will just disappear into thin air. The reason why I hate listening to the radio is because in between the songs that i'm really enjoying and bopping my head to, the idiot DJ will come on air and just make some stupid cringe-worthy remark that sends me into fits of grimacing. Sometimes it's just too stupid that it's funny. But really, there's just so much stupidity I can take!

I chanced upon this last night.. Some radio station's organising some radio Blind Date, where some supposedly hot babe gets to choose between a couple of potential dates, on-air. So this question was posed to the potentials: What would you do if, you and your date were at some cinema, and you noticed your date is not really enjoying the show, while you on the other hand, were enjoying it thoroughly.

The idiot guy's reply: If she was really not enjoying it, I'll probably ask if she wants to just leave. And then I'll probably bring her someplace for a nice long talk, and check with her what it was about the movie that she didn't like. To me, it's really important that she enjoys what she's doing, and I'll make that effort to get to know what she likes blah blah blah blah...

I was like, DOH!! It's just a movie! Get some perspective for goodness sake! So she doesn't like the movie, what's the big deal! She can jolly well sit through it. If I can sit through my boss' boring monologues, anybody can sit through a boring movie. If she;s that bored, she can jolly well close her eyes and go to sleep. Why does she have to spoil other people's enjoyment just because she's a self-centered narcisstic whiner?

Why doesn't she like the movie? It's could be because she's bored to death of all the sword fighting and bish bish bang bang going on. Or maybe she's just too stupid to enjoy a movie that has too much dialogue. Or she thinks you're ogling Angelina Jolie too much, so she fakes boredom. Or it's your company she's bored with, not the movie.

If I'm the girl picking the potentials, I wouldn't choose this wuss to go out with. I mean, he's such a doormat. And talk about making a mountain out of a mole-hill, if it was me, will I want to go all the way to some beach, so that I can sit next to the sea-front, just to discuss why I didn't like a movie??! "Oh, because Lim Kay Tong's not exactly the most handsome of protagonists, that's why I'm bored. Next time, let's watch a movie with good-looking people. Oh, and next time, please don't choose a show with too talking; it gives me a headache." An analysis of the movie, and why I don't like it, in 15 second flat! Why do I need a 'nice long talk'?

Oh, maybe she's an intellectual who like to dissect a movie to pieces. "Nemo, with his undergrown fin, represents the marginalised group in society - the physically handicapped, and even the emotionally handicapped (the trauma he went through even when he was a little baby egg, almost being eaten by sharks). The movie represents the underdog's search for a better future..blah blah blah.. Oh, but I don't like the movie because Nemo's coloured." Double DOH!!

After such an exclaimatory tirade, you now know why I shouldn't be listening to any more radio. Or I will be inflicting these incoherent rantings on my poor audience. Plus there's only so much mirthless amusement I can derieve from this level of stupidity.

DOH!!
