Top 10 most overrated things

Obviously I like top 10 lists (shoutout to David Letterman). Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy taking a break from programming things on my Blackberry. Anyway, earlier this week I was about half a bottle of red wine deep and I got to thinking about my future columns-and I drew a big, fat writer-block blank.

And then I thought of this:

10.People who cannot take jokes

This speaks for itself. The people out there who are offended by almost everything on behalf of the world need to take a step
back, take a big deep breath of apathy and chill out.

9. Twitter

For those of you who donít know, Twitter is a site where you can keep people updated on what you are doing all the time; it is basically a constant Facebook status
update. You have 140 characters to tell people your thoughts, where you are and what you are doing. That’s basically it.

Twitter is great for politicians, news organizations and even celebrities but not so much for us regular people. It is just another weird stalker-ish tool. I donít care that you are grocery shopping,
doing homework or walking your dog.

8. Tight/skinny jeans

Mostly worn by hipsters, the tight/skinny jean trend is completely overrated because unless girls are very small, nobody looks as great in them as they are supposed to.

Boys who wear tight designer jeans also are overrated. We get it; if you are a Hipster, you don’t have money to eat because you spend it all on skinny jeans and Pabst
Blue Ribbon, but for the rest of us, let’s lay the skinny jeans trend down to rest.

7. The Real World: Brooklyn

MTV’s The Real World has been overrated for about 10 years now. Obviously, there is nothing real about it but everyone still watches season after season. MTV enables
the cast to get liquored up, stages fights all in the name of people who “stop being polite and start being real.”

Until this season in Brooklyn, it was all southern fratty guys and slutty, drunk crying girls. Now the cast is a little more interesting, but it still manages to be the dumbest group of people ever stuck in a
house together-with the exception of “The Real World: Key West.” There was nothing smart about that season.

6. Tyra Banks

We get it, she wants to be Oprah. “America’s Next Top Model” is a pretty boring diva showcase and her talk show deals with issues that are passé and have been done before-by Oprah. True, high
school girls always will be mean, but just because you are a model and have a show about modeling does not mean you should have a talk show.

Also, does anyone know what her real hair actually looks like? I didn’t think so.

5. Salad

Salad actually is not that good for you.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but eating iceberg lettuce, which has virtually no nutrients covered by cheese, croutons
and fattening dressing is not any better for you than eating a cheese burger.

Salad is delicious, and when prepared with the right ingredients can be very healthy, but restaurant salads leave health out of the question. Therefore, I would rather eat
that slice of pizza.

4. Brangelina

They just will not stop adopting children and saving the world, all while flying by private jets. Angelina Jolie was better when she was making out with her brother
and wearing vials of blood around her neck. That’s when she was sexy, now she and Brad Pitt are saints and it is really boring.

3. Baby-doll tops

Baby Spice is the only person who ever got away with wearing these awful creations. Baby-doll tops make everyone look pregnant
or just unnecessarily chubby and they are very unflattering. However, if you are an Olsen twin, just wear your skinny jeans with your baby-doll top and I sincerely hope it works out for you.

2. College students who try to make a point by drinking expensive beer

These are also the people who will look at you with a PBR or Natural Light in your hand and sympathetically offer you a Heineken or a Blue Moon. Thanks. These college students are obnoxious and do not
actually know what point they are trying to prove. Of course, they are better than all of us; they can afford nice beer and it makes a statement.

And the No. 1 most overrated thing is:

Facebook changing every day Facebook changing was overrated when I wrote about it in September and it still is. There never is any explanation for the change
and the people in charge of Facebook just keep toying with something that already is just fine.

It is like when Coca-Cola debuted the new Coke. There was nothing wrong with the
original recipe-Coke just got bored. However, the public hated it and soon regular Coke came back on the market.

Facebook just needs to bring back the old layout from a few weeks ago, not even the original one, or the “newer” original one. It is obvious that no one is happy with
the changes, and if Facebook wants to keep its users, it should listen to them.

Things that are too overrated to be ranked on this list: Lindsay Lohan, passive-aggressiveness and the Toyota Prius.
