Thinking about dissing a franchise and hearing a Terry Gross interview today, I had recalled a memory of an incident that made my opinion slam right into my wife's face.
My wife used to watch Dawson's Creek back in the day, and I used to dismiss it as garbage. Later on my wife would watch Gilmore Girls, and it used to really annoy me when it was on in the background; I used to politely ask her to tell those bitches to shut the fuck up. It started turning into a thing, where I would constantly make fun of and harangue her favorite show, and this really picked up when she spent $60-$100 on a Gilmore Girls DVD boxset. I expressed my opinion at the time that it was the single worst purchase ever made in our household. She strongly disagreed.
So a few years ago, she was off in Serbia, and I was out with some friends. I come home to find our apartment had been robbed. Using our own trash bags, they relieved us of our XBOX, jewelry, various small electronics, and all of our CDs and DVDs. All except one, the DVD boxset of Gilmore Girls. They took the entire CD collection that included various crappy 80s music and Serbian folk, but the Gilmore Girls boxset would have just been unnecessary weight while making off with the loot. As you can imagine, I took that opportunity to point out how much of a worthless piece of shit that boxset was, and that this new evidence supported my hypothesis.
I haven't decided what this thread will be, perhaps comparing anecdotal justifications of crap, a Gilmore Girls bashing thread, or perhaps thieves' standards. I don't have a blog but I had to write this down somewhere.
