That Awkward Moment When...

Who hasn't heard of the phrase that is the title of this post? It's everywhere.
Here's a few of them I compiled.

That Awkward Moment When...
...you open the door for someone far away...forcing them into the jog of gratitude.

...you're playing an online FPS, come round the corner and blast the first thing you see...your teammate.

...you see an urban thug...who's not wearing underwear.

...you see a fat person...in yoga pants.

...you see the post 'the song you are listening to is the song played at your funeral'..."Monster".

...you're caving in Minecraft...and come across a ghast.

...you're viewing the Avengers..."I watched you, while you were sleeping".

...Obama wins the election.

...the government says something...and it's true.

...you're driving down the road in Romania...and see a guy taking a pee, in public.

If you guys have some good ones, please spout them at me. Until next time!

Justin Beiber

Yeah, yeah, I know.
The last one was Twilight, so I figured that by rational horribleness he follows.

Justin Beiber.

Ughoochickowgerroff. This guy makes me sick. He's a perfect example of how downhill this age's youth are going. He's a bad influence. Don't get me wrong - he can sing. I think the guy can really sing, even if he sounds like a girl; but his actual songs are crud. Come on! They are worthless. There is no grit to them. It's all ooh eee loveydovey crap. Come on JB! Do something worthwhile!
You could be such a good influence! You have so much popularity it's amazing! Can't you do something profitable with it? How about fighting drugs? Teen sex? Dropping out of school? People listen to you, dude! You can do so much!

But no. You're just gonna go ahead and keep on encouraging teens to be stupid. To 'follow their heart'. We don't need you, we have Disney for that stuff. Sheesh.

Aaahhh....man, I don't even want to think about him. Whenever I come up against someone who likes him and/or his stuff, I want to grab them by the shirt and shake them. "WHY? WHY? WHY? Have you no sense of discernment at all?" Lord come quickly and save me - us, from this society. I want to puke.

On that note excuse me, I think a toilet is calling my name. And you better belieber it.
Gah! Even that sounds stupid.

Twilight

Hey all,

Twilight. Just about every teen knows the name. It's one of the most popular series in the world, especially America. Let me give you a few of my thoughts on it.

As a person, I despise it. It has a horrible concept, a stupid storyline and characters, and it gives people misguided expectations of relationships. It's something no person should read. How do I know? Well, I read the first book. Just the first. I've seen other people review the others, and I draw my own conclusions from both my experience and theirs.
Don't read it.

However, I can't help but admire how effortlessly Stephanie Meyer ensnares her target audience and completely leads them around by the nose. By target audience I mean teenage girls. So many girls absolutely love the series. Why? Because it plays to their emotions and sense of romance. It's so skillfully written as to totally draw them in it's scary. And she leads her readers numbly off a cliff. People's expectations of life are twisted by the media they encounter, and Twilight is an excellent example.

Again, don't read it. It's a waste of your time and resources.
