Great read. About 6 months ago, Meg and I went to this artsy craft show in East Atlanta and that asshole was there selling popsicles. Mind you, it was in December, at an arts and crafts show. I get it though, since 99.9% of the “arts” and “crafts” there were 20-something hippies and hipsters desperately trying to outdo each other at making the most alternative cookware. His success is more about the people making him successful, like you said, than the product itself. I will say he picked a great location to sell his bullshit, no doubt. I’ll bet you 5 Good Humor’s that his favorite hobby is snowboarding.

I think there’s a bit of conflation going on here. Though I’m certainly well aware of the terrifying behavior of football hooligans, even the arguments cited here insinuate that hooligans are more looking for an adrenalized thrill/anti-social identity through their activities and football is simply the vehicle for their miscreancy — it could just as easily be gutter punk. Though hooliganism is certainly a terrible problem, the scope of it is limited to extremism and rebelliousness — phenomena that are manifested in some way in every society. I would say there’s a similarity in the desire to look misguidedly for identity in the meaninglessness of the two, but one isn’t the defining paradigm for an entire state’s existence.

Food writers are essentially talentless humps posing as journalists, largeley responsible for creating an elitist element we did not need within our culture. With a thesaurus in one hand and a perfectly chilled fork in the other they single-handedly gave birth to a cavalcade of egocentric media-whores and elevated this group to ‘celebrity’ status, (whatever that means). There are many truly talented working Chef’s in the US, and most (thank God) lack that essential media-whore instinct to see their faces peering out at us from supermarket freezers or idiotic TV shows in which showmanship matters more than the ability to cook well. From reading this blog, I purposely watched ‘Diners, Drive-ins and Douchebags’
which from a professional Chefs’ point of view was neither entertaining nor educational. The host was an ‘entertainer’ with sunglasses perched on the back of frosted tipped hair stuffing his face and grunting his way through an overstuffed hoagie roll of pastrami with all the fixins’. I guess some would consider it ‘entertainment’. Then there was a show built around a group of people who had no business being in a professional
kitchen competing to out-do each other and win the approval of a panel
of ‘judges’ who did their best to drive them to suicide through humiliation for their efforts to please. The ‘judges’ were a motly collection of people consisting of a creepy bald-headed guy and a good-looking woman of questionable genetic origin. As the ‘show’ progressed, there were tears and vicious attacks. I didn’t want to see who won the contest, I didn’t care, I just wanted them all off my screen.

I was born and raised an Alabama fan and I am an Alabama graduate. I however, have to admit your article was hilarious. I think the reason it is so funny is because I know fanatics that are exactly like You classify us all. Funny stuff brother and no offense taken. Roll Tide!!!
