Things that you can't understand the popularity of.

[X-Woman]

Sushi.

'Nuff said.

 

[Manic]

Sushi is popular because it's delicious. It's not rocket science.

 

[Anubis]

The popularity of threads where people say they don't like things that are clearly awesome.

You.

Sushi is popular because it's delicious. It's not rocket science.

What's "delicious" is a matter of opinion. That's not rocket science either. But it IS biological science that raw fish and meat can carry parasites. Can't blame people for not wanting to take the risk (even though it's not a big one).

 

[SuperFerret]

It is. It's also biological science that most parasites can be easily gotten rid of, and that they don't do much damage to their host in a normal infestation (as it would be counterintuitive to do so). You've probably have had parasites without even knowing it. Also, immune systems, they're awesome.


Also, the fish can be farmed in specially controlled environments that can negate any chance of them having parasites, a quality control method that the multimillion dollar sushi industry would have to be entirely mentally disabled to not use, due to the immense backlash that it would receive.

 

[X-Woman]

And then there's people who just aren't crazy about the idea of eating raw fish. It's a matter of personal preference, that's all.

 

[SuperFerret]

But still, using your own argument that people find different things delicious or not, how is it hard to understand that sushi is popular? This isn't the stuff you hate thread.

Did you just defend your ignorance to a matter of opinion by pointing out that it's a matter of opinion?

I think some people are confusing this for that by posting stuff they hate because some of things listed that are popular are very easy to understand.

 

[X-Woman]

I never said I hated anything.

Betty White.

Not that I don't like her, I just don't get why she's starting to become more popular now than years ago.

Because she's stepped out from the glorious Bea Arthur's shadow.

Any reality TV show that features spoilt rich kids moaning about how hard their life is... when they have it EASY. Idiots. I mean seriously, how can people be interested in a bunch of bratty spoilt rich kids' life? Who gives a **** about them and their silver spoons?

It's simple, people like to ***** about the way people with money live; especially if it comes off as if they're saying that they're better than the rest of us.

And it's even worse if it's kids who brag about money and not having to work for it, look at that Super Sweet 16 show.

DAAAMN people. Why are you ganging up on her just because she doesn't understand the fuss over sushi?! I don't either, honestly. I don't like the taste.

 

[Manic]

I don't like the taste of grilled clams, but it's not beyond my scope to see why people would like it.

 

[PyroChamber]

There's a teen edition of Cribs??

Soccer. Seriously, it makes me want to commit acts of inhuman cruelty to people who annoy me with it.

People really can't understand why Lady Gaga is popular? Her music is catchy. That's about it.

It is catchy and because of her wild antics/clothing, she always gets attention.

Honestly, aside from the love that like 99% of gays have for her, I dont understand why she isnt just considered a one hit wonder...

99% of gays like Lady Gaga? Is there a reason for this?

Good question. It's possible. Lady Gaga has the potential to be the next Annie Lennox or even Madonna if she plays her cards right. She has that quirky "it" factor going for her.

I agree with this.

Isn't she a hermaphrodite? She might be incapable Alex.

The supposed video that shows proof of this didnt show me anything personally.

I'm probably the only person who's never seen a single episode of 24, I'm so busy with other things that I can't commit to watching a weekly TV show with bothersome commercials and even if I rented the DVD's I'd never have the time to watch.

Ive never seen it either, but most of the guys I work with love it.

You totally aren't. I haven't either. And I have no intention of changing that.

Non-24 buddies! Let's form a club!

Me either, can I join?

My theory is that Lady Gaga is a figurative penis, as those who tend to like her (i.e. women and gay guys) also have a fondness for the male genitalia.

You could make the same type of argument for anything anyone has mentioned on this board.

Me either, can I join?

And then there were four.

So, because she supposedly has/had a penis she is popular with gays and girls??? WTF.
