I write a lot about entitlement issues here. The way that I see it, one of the primary driving forces behind much of the ills of our society is the overwhelming sense of entitlement that most people seem to have. We want things done our way, and we want them delivered now gods damn it! We seem to have forgotten the old axiom, “Cheap, Perfect or Fast; pick two.” Which leads me to an odd little piece that I picked up via The Consumerist (I’ll link to them after I’ve forgiven them for being part of the Gawker Family of Suck). The blog post in question is titled Hey Burger King, you’re getting timed for a reason! from the Selfish Mom blog. Yes, dear readers, I’m taking on the mommy–bloggers again. I only pray to Lord Satan that I emerge with my testicles intact.
The gist of this little missive, charmingly filed under the category of “How To Piss Me Off,” is the realization by the author, Amy, that Burger King employees have been gaming the timer system by having drive–though customers back up and pull forward to reset the timer. The shock, the horror! To think

Back in September of last year I wrote a piece about the chuckle fucks in Norway ranting and raving about evil iTunes and its human rights violating DRM. In the ensuing shitstorm of responses from the forces of moral decency (aka cheap cocksuckers) it was pointed out, numerous times, that ranting at Apple over this issue was doing about as much good as pissing into the ocean; because it wasn’t Apple demanding the DRM, it was the record labels. Of course that point was lost on the cheaptards; because in their world, wishes are horses and they damn well are going to ride.
Cue today’s announcement that Norway is dropping its idiotic demands due to Apple and the record labels, agreeing to drop DRM in the iTunes music store.
Hope you arctic dipshits enjoyed your three years of windmill tilting. Now imagine how much faster we could have had this had you gone after the real problem instead of trying to gin up headlines.
Fucktards.

As you may have heard; Apple recently announced that a) Steve Jobs will not be delivering the keynote address at the next Macworld Expo, and b) the next Expo will be the last that Apple attends. The response from the Mac blogosphere has ranged from the retarded (OMGWTF Steve’s agonna die!!!) to the rational (attending the Expo is expensive and Apple now has other options to present new products that are more under their control). But, of course, it wouldn’t be an Apple story without a heaping helping of whiny self-entitlement. Case in point http://silentkeynote.com.
Apparently Apple owes us a keynote and we’re going to hold our breath and stamp our feet until we get one.

Need to set the MacMacs, the freetards & the mommybloggers against each other; thus starting the long prophesised entitleclypse.
Thus spoke I.
This is so not going to make me any friends; but what the hell, alienating people is all part of the fun. Before I commence to ranting though, let’s make one thing clear. Any vitriol I expend here is not directed at mothers in general. Those who know me know that I have the greatest respect for mothers; fuck for parents in general. Anyone who would willingly subject themselves to one or more half-formed proto-humans gets props from me. Gods know I can’t bear the thought of creating my own little hell-spawn. What I don’t have any respect for is entitletards; and, based on the recent “motrinmoms” retardation, I’m going to place the “mommybloggers” firmly into the entitletard category.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Well, on one level I’d have to say, “some new media douchebagettes got their knickers in a twist over a fucking commercial” On another, slightly less profane level, the deal appears to be this. The makers of Motrin ran a somewhat snarky advertisement advising mothers with backaches from lugging their demon-seed around all day

So, you may have heard that Apple recently released new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Amongst various changes the shiny new MacBook now no longer has any sort of FireWire connectivity. Because we’re talking Apple here, and Apple “fans” are the biggest bunch of whiny entitletards on the face of the planet; this change has generated a veritable Large Hadron Collider’s worth of retarded bitching. The worst of the bunch though, which I present with minimal comment is the Macworld Forums discussion.
All I can really say is:
Ye
Fucking
Gods
300 plus (at the time I’m writing this) posts of the most ignorant, entitled bullshit that I’ve ever seen. When you strip out the few posts by people with legitimate issues, those honestly seeking information, and my brother from another mother Bynkii trying to give people options (in his usual charming manner) you end up with a single refrain. “Apple owes me a shiny new laptop with all the fixins’. Gimme gimme gimme!”
It’s the fucking Entitletard Holocaust.

Tucked amid the financial doom and gloom this week was this annoying tidbit. Apparently some twat in Norway has decided to run his mouth some more about how Apple is required to make iTunes Store purchases interoperable with their competitors’ products…or else. I’m sorry, but this sort of shit enrages me. I am a advocate of consumer rights; but, once upon a time, “consumer rights” meant things like “your car doesn’t explode,” and “your food isn’t poison.” Not the current refrain of “wah, gimme what I want” that seems to be synonymous with the phrase now.
Here’s the facts for the simpletons out there who don’t get it. You have no right to demand that every thing that a corporation sells you be provided in any format that strikes your fancy. If you don’t like iPods, then buy your music from any of the dozens of alternate sources and play it on whatever the fuck you like.
And, in particular to Bjoern Erik Thon, fuck you in your frost-bitten, entitletard ear.
