#9 – Numbering

We are opposed to lists, sequences, order, ennumeration, ordinal numbers, footnotes, endnotes, counting (see above), putting in line from shortest to tallest, and all other forms of numbering.

#9 – Small Towels

A towel is supposed to cover all of you.  (This guy kind of gets it).

What the hell am I supposed to do with this??

Bullshit.

#8 – Hairspray

It’s stinky.  And destroys your hair.  And the ozone.  If you use hairspray, we at Things That Are Bullshit implore you to stop living as a relic of the 80s.

Not to mention… Sarah Palin.  Bullshit.

#7 – Blisters

You’re just walking around minding your own business, trying to save the environment and all, and look what you get.  A blister.  Thank you, now you can’t walk, and you make carbon footprints instead. That’s just bullshit.

#6 – Textbooks

A racket run by dying companies that hate students, learning and your freedom.  Usually heavy.  Professors paid nothing for their work constructing authoritative knowledge for the unwashed masses.  Bullshit.

#6 – The Confederacy

The Confederacy was about defending slavery…

Yes it was about being rebellious, but the rebellion was against people who told them not to enslave folks.  That is just bullshit.

#5 – Euphemism

Almost by definition bullshit. Mostly because it’s a product of the bizarre policing of language that is censorship, but also because politeness is boring. I encourage all readers of this blog to take a moment and stop using euphemism, but rather go out and offend.

Look, I have no idea what has happened to the economy in the last few months, I just know it fucking sucks. And I’m pretty sure people who work on this street are responsible. Not only that, most everyone who works there is really really boring. Thus, Bullshit.

#3 – The Kyoto Protocol

Walked all over.

Seriously. Ineffective, even as an empty gesture. It requires US compliance to mean anything, and the Americans just love their pollution too much. Plus: Pay to pollute? 5% reduction in CO2 vs. 1990? Srsly, it’s bullshit.
