Youtube

The video sharing site that allows you to "broadcast yourself". Launched in 2005 and purchased by Google in 2006, the site was good until around late 2008/early 2009 when Youtube started acting more like a dictatorship, enforcing stupid copyright rules, forcing users to adapt to new designs and formats they don't want, eliminating user groups, and requiring users to sit through ads before letting them watch their video. If you are thinking of starting an account I urge you to reconsider. If you currently have an account, I would consider deleting it and not returning until Youtube agrees to return to the way things worked from around 2005-mid 2008.

Youtube has gone to hell since Google took over. They want to kick the everyday you and me users off the site and only allow popular people like Fred and Rebecca Black to post videos. To the YT heads, if you don't pay money, you aren't worth their time.

MTV

From 1981-1997, MTV was a great network, playing great (and sometimes not so great) music and good programming, most notably Beavis and Butthead. However, around 1997, MTV started focusing on Pop music, shifting away from the Rock music that made them famous, and canceling Beavis and Butthead (though fortunately brought it back in 2011). While MTV did air decent reality shows in the early part of the 21st century like Jackass and Viva La Bam, it was mainly focused on crap-tacular programs like Room Raiders. Then in 2009 started the era of their worst programs-crap like Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, and worst of all Jersey Shore. MTV is now a network of complete filth and is in need of a complete overhaul.

MTV was once a great network for music but now focuses on the most mind-numbing crap imaginable.

Good Vibes

A cool new animated series on MTV (yes THAT MTV) about Mondo, a chubby 15 year old boy from New Jersey who moves to Southern California and struggles to fit in while trying to impress a girl named Jeena.

The series premiered on MTV on October 27, 2011, the same night Beavis and Butthead made their glorious return to TV. Both shows are a significant departure from some of the complete shit that's been on the network in recent years.

The return of Beavis and Butthead and the premire of Good Vibes might be enough to help get MTV out of the mud and return it to it's glorious format it had in the nineties.

Christmas Eve Openers

A family that opens their Christmas presents on Christmas Eve night as opposed to Christmas morning. Usually done in families with no young kids that believe in Santa Claus and/or cannot wait for the next morning.

I spent christmas break with my girlfriend's family and saw that they're Christmas eve openers since they have no kids under 11.

Randy Michaels

A fat disgusting pig of a human who hates music and enjoys destroying great music stations for his own financial gain. Current CEO of Merlin Media and former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. Michaels became public enemy number one in Chicago in June 2011 after it was announced he had purchased alternative radio station Q101 and planned to turn it into a news/talk station. The station's staff was let go on July 14th and the station became a news station later that month.

"My favorite radio format has always been spoken radio"

"As music moves to the ipod, it's time for news radio to move to FM"
-both quotes from Randy Michaels, who is one of the most hated men in Chicago

Sandwiched in

When you park your car in a big, empty spot on the street only to return later and find that two different people parked very closely in front and back of you.

While not (always) impossible to get out of, they are usually very tricky.

Ah great. I'm sandwiched in. I can't go anywhere until one of them pulls out.
