Beverage Names

Have you ever struggled to add a title to your story, or name charactors?
Well, you’re not the only one, cos the beverage companies have sunk to a new low when it comes to naming their products.

Coffee names have always pissed me off. I mean, by adding a bit of cream/milk to the coffe, you’ve actually added about an hour to the coffees name. There are so many damn types of coffee, all with different names, yet theres very little difference in the drink itself. Heres a few of the coffee names I could find:
Instant coffee
Flavored coffee
Black Coffee
White Coffee
Iced coffee
A Shot in the Dark
Double Shot
Cafe au Lait
Cappuccino
Dry Capuccimo
Macchiato
Expresso
Espresso Con Panna
Cafe Breva
Caffe Latte
Cafe Macchiato
Hammerhead
Greek Coffee
Indian filter coffee
Americano
Irish coffee
Turkish Coffee
Vietnamese Coffee
Kopi Tubruk
Lungo
Frappe
Melya
Mocha
Oliang
Ristretto
And lets not get started on the combos. Frigging hell. So damn long. How do people keep up with this shit? Who wants an italian-half-caf-express-white-oneshot-mochacinno with ice?

So ok, coffees a pain in the ass, but has anyone heard of the alcohol names? Some are weird like, GodFather, GodMother and GodDaughter. Some are a little gay like, Fallen Angel, and Dark Kiss. But some are just plain stupid, which bring me to my personal favourite – Kick in the Balls.
Now one cant help but imagine the situation where a man is standing at a bar and says
“hey can i have a kick in the balls”
or
“Man i really want a kick in the balls right now”
or even more funny when a chick requests a kick in the balls.

Anyway, laying off alcohol, soft drinks have pretty random names too. I mean the new soft drink being sold at school called ‘LOL’ was funny at first, but whos to stop a company naming there drink something funny? Apparantly the government didn’t find it too funny when a company named their drink ‘Cocaine.’
I suppose they didnt want children saying to their mothers that theyre going out with some friends to buy some cocaine…

Commenting Problem

I have recently noticed that we have had 83 ’spam’ comments blocked by an anti-spam script. If you have posted an actual comment and have not seen it on the site, that comment could be part of the 83 blocked. To resolve this, I have set up a We Rant forum in the WOMS forums where you can discuss any posts that we have made. Just start a topic and discuss away.

The link to the forums is http://andrewnguyen.qtl1.com/forums

Can’t really do much for those comments that haven’t been posted unfortunately.

Please join us on the forums!

i hate this ad – boojay direct

Now on TV they play a cut one, with her only talking about Budget Direct.

First off, what the hell is the point of some fake French girl talking about Budget Direct? She has the most exaggerated French accent ever, reminding me of a friend. “Mobeele, dollah and the finale Boojay.” Every freaking time the ad comes on and she says “Boojay”, it makes me want to grab a baugette and smash her face with it.

Also 50 – 60 year old Aussie man with a 20 -30 year old French girl. Hmm… now unless they are family that is weird. (Actually if they were family it would be even weirder.)

There has to be better ways to sell car insurance, having someone say French your company name? Nope.

I Hate This Ad – Foxtel EOFYS

Anyone seen it? Yes, no? Heres the ad on Youtube to jog your memory:


This one is the extended version. They play mainly the edited on TV.

I hate this ad. End of Financial Year Sale is what EOFYS is… and yet even though I know what it means/stands for everyday I watch the ad on TV I go: “WTF is EOFYS?”. The idea is good I guess… but done before:

Although this one is much more entertaining.

Back to the EOFYS one… why the hell do you have Christmas decorations for “EOFYS” (Which by the way sounds Greek) It would’ve been better if they made special decorations just for the ad. But the main reason I hate this ad is because of its musical theme. And you’re thinking “Why do you like the Amazon one? Huh?”.

Well I like that one because, its funny and doesn’t evolve a family bursting into dance with the Foxtel guy showing at your door in the middle of the night, along with 50 other dancers that are supposed to be your neighbors. Also what would the name of the carols you sing on EOFYS? (Help me out here… my brain is dieing right now.)

Happy Eofys everyone.

You can read, you can add something in, or just surf aimlessly thorugh the posts of 2 guys with no lives…

What has the World come to? Prt 3 (Final)

(A rant done for all those people who got shattered this valentines)

What has the world come to? Kids in Kindy and year 1 are swearing like Ramsey nowadays. Shows and movies have more sexual references, and swearing and violence, yet the rating get more and more lenient. Youd be surprised to see whats still G…and dont get me started on PG.

But seriously, stupid media has screwed up the minds of the people. Everyone wants their lives to go like a movie – at least their love lives anyway…

I mean people in high schools are freaking love obbsessed. Seriously, the ‘Truth’ in truth or dare, is now always: ‘who do you like?’ or ‘whos the hottest in the grade’ or ‘name your top 5.’ What the hell. I dont have a freaking top 5!!!! And the reaction to that is always: aww everyone has a top 5…(B**ches: excuse me for not sitting there wasting my time figuring out who i lik most of the random chicks i never talk to)

I mean, you wouldnt belive the looks i get when i say Ive never liked someone. Jeez,  is that so hard to believe.I a freaking 14 year old. I cant have s*x, whats there to look forward to?! Joking, (you wouldnt belive the looks i get when i say THAT)

I mean, cmon, how plausible are movies anyway. I will generalize and break down any romance drama. Somebody likes someone that doesn’t like them. E.g. Guy likes girl who doesn’t like ‘this type of guy’ or a chick likes a guy who has a bitchy girlfriend. Anyway, in some UNEXPECTED sequence of events, the guy ditches his current love, and runs over the new one – or the guy convinces the chick to like him over some crazy romantic gesture that in real life would get you nowhere. I mean, the things people are doing because it works in the movies…

In real life, that shit dont work. In real life: love at first sight – is just having a boner and the guts to ask out someone who you’ve never talked to. Seriously, looking at someone whos personality you can only guess, then claiming she is your new undenying love? Wth.

I will beat down any guy who tells me theyre willing to do something stupid for one or both of the following:

(1) I love her (and barely know her) and she has made it abundantly clear she doesn’t feel the same way. I know i can make her like me -wth- [Thats right all you high school lover boys. That shit dont work - ever.]

(2) It worked in the movies

(3) Dude, leave me alone – its love -I have to do this…   (dumbass – sure you do)

Also, i will shoot down anyone, who lives by this line: if hes mean to you – he likes you. What-The-@#$% . NOO. That is not true at all. I mean to everybody, wtf is that supposed to mean. The person who first said that was thinking: some people are too shy to talk to the one they like, so they make small jokes, and see this as the only contact they can make. But along comes hollywood and makes people think that the first person that comes up to you and starts swearing and makes it clear in all ways he hates you – secretly likes you.  I mean there IS a difference between

‘If he hates you, he likes you’

and

‘If he likes you, he pretends to hate you’

This doesnt not mean everyone who insults you is in love with you. Jeez. I mean the way people look at it now – its like comparing a small, friendly nudge on the arm, to an all out punch to the face (or a kick in the crotch – but i digress) But seriously, how can you still think a guy likes you after he calls you a b**ch, and telling you the closest he’ll come to liking you is when your not there. (yeah, i did that – people are that useless and they still don’t learn – lol)

But teenagers really do have problems assessing the situation when it comes to this sort of thing. I mean, a girl can have three or four guys lined up for her approval, they like her so much, and one guy hates this girl and lets her know it full well; so instead of choosing the guys that like her – this idiot thinks to herself – wow – this guy hates me: that is so HOT!!! And guys do this too. Where are these people – gonna B**ch slap some sense into them!!!!!

Anyway – i reckon valentines is a stupid idea altogether. I mean if a guy gives you a rose on valentine – meh – (what a surprise) expectations have risen mate. Give your girlfriend a rose on some random day of the year and the reaction is – OMG you shouldnt have. I think valentines was invented cos guys kept forgetting to give their girlfriends something, but then chicks got suspicious when they all get roses on the same day…

And for once, a rant by me has a moral

(1) Movies stay in movies, they dont work anywhere else

News Headlines

Its been a while since ive well…ranted? and there hasnt been much to rant about. Plenty to hate, nothing to rant about. Honestly, i left this site behind, considered it done…untill-i watched the news!!!! ANd honestly, those guys will to anything just to complete their time slot. They will load it with the biggest crap till the time ends. I mean, unless theres another 9/11 or something, theres no point watching the news past the first 15 minutes. And i dont mean shit as in random hollywood gossip, which, still, really shit, but at least that means someithing to those randoms who actually read gossip. I mean pointless, stupid, some idiot thought of while onthe toilet seat.

On the Chasers, this has been mentioned, and they pointed out the headlines: Unemployed women WANTS to have ten babies (wtf – i want throw another shoe at bush! ARREST ME) Senior womans dog kicked out of bingo ( omg – the half an hour togther theyve missed!!) but yesterday, i saw the biggest piece of shit of a report, and my mum said the sitcoms i watched were a waste of time…

‘The Beards are Back!!’ was the headline. It said that because hugh jackman, cloony, and brad pitt had beards, all of a sudden all aussie men had beards. They asked a woman ‘important to the world of gossip’ (dumbasses) on her opion and she said beards were a sexy turn on. Then they asked the public whether they thought beards were ’sexy’. One out of many asked said yes. Then they asked many men and women on whether or not ‘beards were back’, and everybody said no.

So to conclude, the report was about how beards had suddenly become so popular and sexy, and at the end of the report the conclusion was drawn that they were neither back or sexy.

1st of all, who the hell gives half a crap on whether or not some OTHER people are giving their opinion on beards. What it really comes down to in the end is what U think.

 

Dumbasses…

Quick Rants – Convicted Robber

This is the first of my quick rants, it’s been awhile… anyway I just watched the news and I saw a story where a family of a stabbing victim wanted her stabber/robber to be convicted for life. But the judge didn’t… now the reason for this is absolutely stupid.

The judge said the robber/stabber “didn’t intend” to kill her. What The Fudge. She was stabbed THIRTY-SEVEN TIMES, OH MY GOD. It would be like:
*stab stab stab* Oh crap… *stab* I didn’t… *stab* mean to… *stab* And so on…

The End.
