We Used To Be Friends

Today I present...

People you agree with... until they start being so insufferable that you become ashamed to be associated with them

Number one
Michael MooreYes, America has too many guns. Yes, selling ammo at Walmart is crazy-talk. Yes, the NRA has some serious issues. Yes, countries with less guns have significantly less gun crime. I agree with Mr Michael Moore on this. HOWEVER. The way he chooses to make his case? Not great. Even high school students can pick the way he twists facts and skates over important objections in his documentaries. Thankfully I haven't been subjected to Fahrenheit 9/11, because I think it might make me explode.

Michael... guns are bad, mkay yes but you are not helping anyone. Go away.

Number two
Bob GeldofReducing third world debt? Great idea. Helping out dying kiddies in Africa? For sure! Let's do it! So Bob, what's your plan? ...Interesting. So... spend heaps of cash doing big concerts, and then giving the profits to charities... okay, that's nice. Now what about this debt? Cancel it?!? Wait... but that makes no sense! So we're rewarding corrupt governments for decades of buying weapons rather than providing for their populations... how is that helpful?? And won't they just spend all their aid money on more weapons? Safe in the knowledge that Western governments will forgive their debts?? Bobbbbb.... really? And do you have to be such an insufferable git about it too?

Sorry Bob, but your plan is stupid, and you're a bit of an old prat.

Number three
Kanye West
Now, I do still love Kanye. So I'm not ashamed to be associated with him. BUT. It has been HARD GOING. Kanye! Why do you make it so hard for me to love you? With the weird rants, and the massive ego, and the strange single choices, and the Auto-Tune album??? Please Kanye... just be awesome. Don't be yourself. Because yourself is kinda insufferable sometimes. Or change yourself. Into someone more consistently awesome. Who makes freakin' great music.

Kanye. I still love you. I'm not ashamed. Just... don't be so crazy, okay?

Anyone else got others?
