As we all know 2005 was a tough year: War, famine, floods, fire and disease all conspired to make it one of those years that we were lucky to survive. I hope that 2006 will be better, of course, and I thought that best way to help us deal with the stress is to bitch about some of the nuisances that we must deal with all too often. Accordingly, here is my list of things and/or people that I hope will be banished from our lives forever. 
(I excluded the obvious - war, pollution, violence, et cetera - since those are serious issues and not pet peeves.)
1. Infomercials
2. Psychic hotline commercials.
3. Sexually related "political" scandals.
4. Strobe lights.
5. O.J. Simpson.
6. Hyper exploitation of holidays. (I propose a new law: No holiday may be advertised or celebrated before or beyond the month in which it actually occurs.)
7. The Titanic.
8. Network logos which cover half of the TV screen.
9. Junk mail.
10. Pre-teen beauty pageants. (I can't be the only one who feels that there is something obscene about using children as pawns in a beauty contest.)
11. Centralized calling and call waiting.
12. Cigarettes!
13. Telemarketers of any type.
14. Video game commercials. (Especially violent video game commercials by Sega or Nintendo.)
15. Pokemon.
16. Long-distance phone company promotions.
17. Golf.
18. Television coverage of "sport events" in which no team is actually involved (e.g. snowboarding, skateboarding, etc.)
19. The Power Rangers.
20. Media inspired disaster movies: ("Asteroid", "Y2K" and so forth.)
21. ATM surcharges.
22. The Rolling Stones.
23. Celebrity appearances in sitcoms intended to boost ratings. (And while we are at it, let's eliminate the Nielsen ratings and the "sweeps week.")
24. Tabloids.
25. Television mini series based on a particular decade. ("The '60's", "The '70's" etc.)
26. Computer generated advertising pasted over the footage of music videos, football games, etc. (Isn't it enough that we have to endure commercials without even more advertising popping up?)
27. Bottled water. (Wouldn't the billions that we spend on bottled water actually be better spent purifying our tap water?)
28. Mike Tyson.
29. Anything with Andy Griffith in it.
30. The fashion industry.
31. Celebrity (particularly athletes) endorsements of any product.
32. Straw polls.
33. Parking meters.
34. People who use a cell phone while driving.
35. Salespeople who answer the phone while tallying your sale or otherwise assisting you. (Why should a machine take precedence over a live customer?)
36. The Taco Bell Chihuahua.
37. Vending machines that are designed to make it impossible to get your money back.
38. Merchants who will accept practically everything except cash as payment.
39. Low fat labels on foods which never had fat at all.
40. Printer ink which smears even after it is dry.
41. Authors who lend their name to a particular series, but don't actually write the book. (e.g. "Isaac Asimov's..." or "Tom Clancy's Netforce")
42. Pro wrestling.
43. Stale British comedies on public television.
44. Michael Jackson.
45. Yahtzee.
46. Advertising inserts in credit card statements.
47. Magazines which must be held open while you read them.
48. "Seinfeld."
49. Cartoon characters (Daffy Duck, Wil E. Coyote, etc.) used in commercials.
50. The Energizer Bunny.
51. Spam.
52. Justin Timberlake.
53. Rap music.
54. Reality TV.
55. McDonald's
Well, that is my list. Feel free to add your own pet peeves!

My intuition was telling me this guy was a jerk, now he has confirmed my suspicions.
#2 pet peave , big mouth liberals claiming to be tolerant when they are actually the most intolerant people on earth.

I would like to start watching some sports on television again.
How about elimintaing the war dance that occurs after:
Every bunt single
Every tackle
Every free throw
Except for the Olympics, the rest of the sports are all hinky-dinky so I do not care what they do.
