I’m a huge fan of The Consumerist. I think it’s a site anyone with access to the Internet should visit on a constant and ongoing basis. Many an afternoon has been spent reading through dozens of entertaining and infuriating stories dealing with horrible consumer experiences. If you’re pissed at Comcast or Bank of America, this is the place to air your grievances and more often than not, get some support or relief from the issues you’re enduring. Hell, at least you’ll be reassured you’re not alone in your misery. Want to read about Monster Cable absurdly & groundlessly suing the asses off everyone using the word “Monster”, not to mention completely ripping off any consumer who actually makes the mistake of purchasing their overpriced products? This is the place as well. With content that’s updated numerous times throughout the day, it’s a great place to visit anytime you’re bored or would like a quick insight into the continual decline of customer service.

However, sometimes some of the most mindnumbingly retarded shit gets posted to that website. Shit that I, or any person with half a functional brain, couldn’t possibly care any less about.

Holy shit, McDonald’s may need to drop the double cheeseburger from the dollar menu? Are you fucking kidding me? People still eat at McDonalds, let alone give a fuck what’s on the dollar menu? I’m pretty sure the only acceptable time to order off the McDonald’s dollar menu is when you’re blood-alcohol level is above 2.0, at which point you could be eating a mound of Chef Boyardee ravioli off the men’s room floor for all you care. Oh, an article about 3 Ways to Spend Less While Shopping… that sounds like it could be useful. WRONG. Shop with a timer? Reward your effort with a treat?! Seriously… what the hell kind of advice is this?! Were these written for those shoppers perpetually stuck in the third grade? Hey, guess what? You’re a fucking adult. How about a little self control. Don’t buy shit you don’t need or didn’t go to the store to get. There, you’re welcome. Egad, printing errors on a bag of Doritos! Store employees annoying you with special offers!! Holy christ NO!

For the most part, The Consumerist is able to bring important and relevant information to the Internet community; allowing them to voice their opinions, offer advice and, when needed, helping them get in touch with corporate executives. But jesus, it seems to me that some people just like to fucking complain.

Note: Yes, I realize how hypocritical it is that I’m saying this, but blow me, it’s my website.

UPDATE (07-28-08): Oooooh, a post about someone not getting lettuce and cheese on their damn tacos?? Are you fucking kidding me? This deserves a post? RETARDED. And holy fuckballs, Almond Joys only have a single almond!!! Fucking… fuck…. must….. hold back…… anger……. must…….. not……… punch………. monitor………..
