Just Me, Casi

The things i hate...

1.Disney Channel (and that includes...Miley/Hannah, JoBros, HSM)

2.Twilight (Yes, I read the book and personally, I didn't like it. It's just over hyped and shallow.)

3.American Idol (I think it's ok...but I never get into it.)

Ok, so you've notice I listed a lot of popular things. Here's why I hate it...

Disney Channel

 Nothing is ever "normal." I mean, come on...A Wizard Family, A Double Life Pop Star, Twins that live on a hotel/cruise ship...There just has to be some sort of "Twist." The whole concept of normalcy has been completely abandoned. The new ideas and plots are so overrated.

 Each story seems to be the same. I know it's a sitcom, but seriously...they seem to have the same episode guidelines all the time. Cheating on a test, keeping a secret, telling your best friend that secret, doing something to your parents, getting out of getting grounded...No matter what, it's always the same.

 Even though Disney Channel is for kids, they seem to emphasize "Dating." What would kids need to know about dating?

 Disney is SHALLOW.  From emphasizing the importance of "Appearance" and choosing actors whose beauty makes us feel insignificant, Disney makes kids and teens feel inferior. Yes, Disney Channel is not the only Network that does this, in fact, everyone does this, but the fact that Disney is for mainly for kids makes everything worse. At young ages, children are learning that appearances will get you everything. This will only start a chain reaction to their high school or middle school lives, where kids and teens will be even more pressured to start cliches and base their friendships and relationships mainly on appearance.

Twilight

 In my opinion, twilight is overwritten, over thought and overrated. It's a book for the mind of the teenage girl written in the style of a teenage girl. It's popularity is strictly based on the naive romance and "plot twists." I can compare it's suspense to a crappy fantasy based soap opera trying to live up to J.R.R Tolken, J.K Rowling, and C.S Lewis (in fact, I don't know why Stephanie Mayer didn't choose to name herself just S. Mayer.)

 Bella is a plain, boring teenage girl obsessed with a boy she hasn't known for more than a month. Edward Cullen, said boy, is an attractive, rich and highly coveted high school boy...who just happens to be a vampire. Wow, you didn't see that coming, but then again, was that really necessary? A Vampire? Really, how unoriginal could you get. But, back to Bella. The entire story is written in her thoughts, and her thoughts are as naive and pointless as the thoughts of any other high school girl. This is a major reason I hated the book.

 Of course, every cloud has it's silver lining, right? In the book, I fell in love, not with Edward, but with the other Cullens and Hales. Alice is now and forever one of my favorite story book characters. Her spunk and energy made the endless gloom and high school superfluous naivety actually bright and bearable.  Other than that, the sub stories or history of the Cullens were very interesting. Carlisle had a very engrossing life, and it actually made Twilight interesting.

  As for the rest of the series, I hated the first book, so in my opinion, why read the rest? I've heard it all from the squeals of my peers anyways.

American Idol

 Now you must be wondering how anyone could dislike this pop culture phenomenon.  Well it's true, I don't watch it and I just don't like it. I can understand how people find the little "talent search" entertaining (I can admit watching the first rounds are humorous and easy to make fun of) I just don't get the extra excitement and hype. It's old and nothing seemed to have changed.
