Okay, here's the idea - which is very simple. Post two things (artists, bands, movies, actors, whatever), and pick the lesser of two evils.
This spawned out of a conversation I had with the Director - so we'll start with a few from that conversation:
- Nickelback OR Limp Bizkit
- Spice Girls OR Britney Spears
- N*Sync OR The Backstreet Boys
- "Macarena" OR "Achy Breaky Heart"
I pick Limp Bizkit, Britney Spears, N*Sync and......."Macarena."
-
- Vansmack OR The Most Interesting Man in the World
-
I'll take Vansmack, since I've never seen any of those Most Interesting Man in the World commercials.
Not going to pick from the others, smackie? C'mon.
-
I'm going to have to agree with your picks on all accounts, however, I will maintain that having seen both live, neither the Spice Girls nor Britney Spears are evil.

in order to keep this thread going, i'll steal a post from walkies:
GRRRRRR
It's just that the idea of British zombies is so laughable. It's like tough-guy paraplegics, fat people in spandex, or the WNBA.
bigger joke? wnba or lpga? fat people in spandex or fat people in swimming outfits? tough-guy paraplegics or einstein intelligent paraplegics?
lesser evils:
- lpga
- bathing suits
- einstein

I'm going the other way on bathing suits...but other than that, agreed.

Hipsters OR Hippies?
-
hippies. at least somewhere, deep down, they mean well... or at least some of them. as self-centered as hippies are accused of being, hipsters are way worse. at least hippies show up to protest wars because they are fundamentally against them. hipsters will only show up if fleet foxes are playing at the rally <insert anti-hippie/pro-hipster defense here>
paper or plastic?
-
I'm taking hippies as well.
Used to be a paper man...but these days, mostly plastic.
-
actually, it was a trick question... lesser evil is reusable cloth bags :) but plastic shopping bags have their uses, like lining trash cans or bringing wet clothes home from the gym/pool.
muzak or adult contemporary? EDIT: and the winner of that, vs. new age?
-
Adult Contemporary.
Bill O'Reilly OR Rush Limbaugh?
-

paper or plastic?
depends on the age of the hippie. try hanging out with the youth of hippie today. spoiled little fuckers who want everything for themselves and cling to an idealism label to seem cool and to do drugs. hippies CAN be some of the worst scum of human shit out there, so don't think the flowers smell pretty where they lie.

not sure about the AC vote - at least muzak doesn't claim to be serious, or an art form. there is no pretension.
Bill O'Reilly OR Rush Limbaugh?
that just made my head explode. i'll pick BO, based on the sole fact that rush reaches more people thus making him the greater evil - he's more influential.
wow.
bud light or coors light?
-
HA! best one yet:
LiveNation or TicketMaster?
<hides>

that is soooooo easy. ticketmaster all the way. ordering tickets is easier and less a hassle, plus the rerelease times and days for shows you want is easy to figure out. and also, people constantly are puking out livenation's backdoor program websites to score the best tix when they go on sale. and livenation owns everything (almost). ticketmaster is finally the underdog.
beer prices of the following venues:
verizon
930
black cat
nissan

Bud Light, no question. And I think I go with Rush over Bill O, just because he keeps me entertained on long road trips.

beer pong or bar trivia
old people or kids
emo or goth

Those are all good ones.
I think I pick beer pong, old people and goths.............but man, all of those are hard.

WNBA
Bathing Suits
Einstein
Hipsters OR Hippies?
Hipsters, assuming they shower.
paper or plastic?
Paper - it's compostable.
muzak or adult contemporary? EDIT: and the winner of that, vs. new age?
Muzak, Muzak.
Bill O'Reilly OR Rush Limbaugh?
No option for a loaded gun? I'll take O'Reilly.
bud light or coors light?
Coors, hands down.
LiveNation or TicketMaster?
Ticketmaster, but just barely.
-
paper or plastic?
Paper - it's compostable.
that's about the only thing in paper's favor. . .plastic is generally superior in almost every other way (http://www.enviroliteracy.org/article.php/1268.html). compostable plastic bags are a joke, since you end up using more of them as they do not have the same strength as regular plastic bags.
but, in my answer to that question, it's paper because san francisco has "outlawed" the use of plastic bags by retail stores.
-
The whole point of this thread is that both options suck.
Only you would find it necessary to debate the merits of two bad options simply to point out that SF voted to do something you disapprove.
Hooray for you.

Hooray for you.
