Unpopular opinions

Who buys towels anyway these days? I just drip dry in the garden. Far more environmentally friendly.

Random unpopular opinion that is likely to offend most Americans between the ages of 25 and 55: Seinfeld is one of the worst televisions shows ever made and Jerry Seinfeld is simply not funny. It is inconceiveable how anyone ever thought it would be a good idea to design a long-running sitcom around his solisistic, self-deprecating foolishness. Someone approached me this morning and made a Seinfeld reference in some bizarre context as if I should know wtf they were talking about. People reference Seinfeld like the weather, as if it were ubiquitious American ideology and is essentially a part of a citizenship exam. When I didn't get the reference (I've given up pretending like I get the joke in these cases because it happens so often) he looked genuinely let-down. Again, I don't know how anyone was ever convinced to like this show but it may be one of the most inexplicable American mass-manipulations in history. This may be a rant actually…
Un saludo!

other than a nice collection of Porsche sports cars, I agree that Jerry Seinfeld does not have a lot going for him. I was too young to grow up in the Seinfeld TV show days, so I never really got the references. And yes, it was annoying that we were supposed to think he was as funny as he "thinks" he is.
Still, can't deny some funny pop culture references were created, but most I don't understand either.

Calling Seinfeld unfunny is a solid unpopular opinion, no matter how warranted.

You need to get out/ stay in more

Human life loss aside, who really gives a shit that Prince died? Am I an asshole, or just not a fan? Maybe both?
It's just that every time a celebrity dies, everyone acts like it's a big deal.
I'm not not a fan of Prince, and this isn't about him necessarily. It's more about celebrity death in general.
Especially when it comes to the ones who haven't worked in 20-30 years. Why are we suddenly so crushed and all "we'll miss you so much celebrity we haven't heard from in decades!!" It's not like we're having Sunday dinner with them.Yes. I mean, Prince was an incredible musician and all, but still. If you want to hear Prince like you remember him, you still can. Play your old records and you'll always have him just like you remember him. How does his death change anything?
Yes, very talented musician. I absolutely respect and appreciate what he did for music. But what was he doing yesterday? When 90 year old celebrity X dies, and hasn't made a movie or a record in decades, I can't help but not give a shit. Not that prince was 90.

I never knew that I knew so many Prince fans until he died, same with Bowie, Lemmy etc….
He did a hell of a Batman soundtrack though

I'm pretty ambivalent to The Sign's death. Though, I am certainly not in any way ambivalent to a twat who thinks that calling himself a sign is a cool idea…...
My favourite Facebook post today.
Fuck, now we have to listen to nothing but Princes music until someone better croaks.....

I hope Kanye lives forever

from my very limited understanding, Prince was a musician of a high caliber who produced prolifically. a pop star quite different from the Cowell model
I saw him once in concert, it was cool- I wasn't a fan but I recognized every song played & he was very good live
-
I also have to agree. Yes, it's always sad when someone passes, usually for the people that actually know the person. And I get the whole, "he/she had such a big impact on my life." but people who never knew the person being hysterical over their death always blows my mind.

Prince's music had a pretty strong impact on my life- Purple Rain was the first album I ever bought, and his music was a big part of my formative years. Even though I didn't really listen to anything he did since the mid 90s, the occasional Prince stories and random tv appearances never failed to make me smile. That's gone now, and that makes me a little sad. If you don't get it, or don't feel the same, that's cool. I didn't really care about Lemmy or Bowie. If we were all the same, life would be dull as shit.
And Mega's right- the Batman soundtrack was pretty great. Trust, Party Man and Electric Chair especially so. Batdance, not so much.
… Kramer and George are the 'heroes' .. and Newman
