Crossposting from TFF, but this lady is an awful person.

I feel like I'm watching something described as an "Abomination" described in the old testament while viewing it. It's disgusting.

You are literally using the words "awful person", "disgusting", and "abomination" when describing (a fictional) someone who puts family over something as superficial as a sports team. You should probably take a step back and evaluate things.

No because generally when one cheers on a team it's mean't to be something special, and some form of a bond shared between a family and friends. (IE, I'm stuck being a Browns fan for life because I watched every game with my father since 1999).

I mean, I can understand giving up being a fan of the Vikings (maybe) for being an Eagles fan because of a girl, but the rest of the family's excuses are pretty dumb.

That you can apparently be "stuck" being a fan of a team is really silly. You're taking this way too seriously.

"No son of mine is a fan of Green Bay. Now get in there and watch the Browns or get out of this house!"

"I didn't choose to be this way, this is just how I am!"

The son walks out of the house, never to return. Mom sits down, sobbing, "Where did we go wrong in raising our kid, Steve?"

I don't recall the exact details, but somebody mentioned the commercial and a lot of goons did not believe it actually existed (I knew that I had seen it) and the hunt was on. It took several weeks and it was finally located. It was almost as exciting as the hunt for the porn version of Super Mario Brothers.

I don't recall anyone denying its existence, it was more that literally everyone had seen the commercial at some point growing up during the summer in the 90s/early 2000s and almost everyone could recite the commercial verbatim, but nobody could find a copy of the commercial anywhere on the internet, no matter how hard we all looked. The mental ubiquity of the commercial combined with its physical absence nearly drove many a goon to the point of madness, and people began scouring old VHS tapes to find the commercial, because it was just so insane that a commercial that came on so much could not be found anywhere. Eventually somebody found a copy and released it into the internet, where it can roam free for all time so nobody ever has to undertake an ordeal such as those great goons did.

I think at one point somebody had even tracked down the advertising team that had made the commercial originally, but they didn't have a copy either. It was maddening.

I was watching the Disney channel the other day, and a lot of those toy commercials are using "epic" a bunch. That word got driven into the ground when I was a junior in high school, like 6 years ago. It's infuriating to hear it used like that again.

Epic's kinda going the way of awesome, where its original meaning gets dailed way down in magnitude until it merely means, "Oh, that's cool."

Mr. Schneider took to Twitter Tuesday night to suggest that his First Amendment rights have been violated.

“‘If the Freedom of Speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter,’ George Washington,” he tweeted to his 203,000 followers.

It's also pretty astonishing that your average American knows so little about their own government that they don't know what the gently caress the first amendment entails.
Or the second for that matter, really, but that one I think is borne mostly out of willful ignorance.

It's also astonishing how many people don't know that "freedom of speech" doesn't mean "can say absolutely whatever you want without any consequences ever from anyone." It just means the government can't throw you in jail if they don't like what you're saying. This should be forcibly taught to every single American citizen.
