“If human nature is nothing more than the same smear-job dressed up in the threat of a clever lightshow, how can we claim to be advanced?”

“…but the nice thing is that we saved at least one American flag from those wacky flag burners (can’t set a fire where there’s no oxygen, so nyaah nyaah!!).”

I can relate to your woes, Mr. Dunphy. I live in a small city of about 35,000, and we have three…THREE Starbucks within a mile of one another.

“Why can’t we just leave good things be? Why can’t we just say “no” once in a while?”

I was at the grocery store today and thought I would pick up a bag of M&M's.

They have milk chocolate M&M's.
They have dark chocolate M&M's.
They have peanut M&M's.
They have dark chocolate peanut M&M's.
They have almond M&M's.
They have peanut butter M&M's.
They have mint M&M's.
They have bold cherry M&M's.
They have mini M&M's.
They have red, white and blue M&M's (I-Day is coming up!)

Overwhelmed with the choices, I decided that a box of overly salted baked cheese crackers would be a better option.

They have plain Cheez-Its.
They have hot & spicy Cheez-Its.
They have white cheddar Cheez-Its.
They have cheddar jack Cheez-Its.
They have reduced fat Cheez-Its.
They have BIG Cheez-Its.
They have parmesan and garlic Cheez-Its.
They have fucking Sponge Bob Square Pants Cheez-Its.

Maybe a healthier choice would be better, so on to the whole wheat goodness of Triscuits.

They have original Triscuits.
They have cheddar Triscuits.
They have low sodium Triscuits.
They have olive oil and rosemary Triscuits.
They have cracked black pepper and olive oil Triscuits.
They have roasted tomato Triscuits.
They have garlic Triscuits.
They have rye Triscuits.
They have garden herb Triscuits.

QUIT FUCKING WITH MY FOOD!

Ah, I feel better now that I've marked my territory.

Its top executives should be ripped joint from joint and fed to Nike factory workers. Advertising is an entirely inexcusable, evil industry.
