Steppenwolf isn't in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  How can this be?

I'm not against coats for all dogs, just Huskies and such.  Benji the Little Turd tries to be tough and hang with the Huskies but he's just not built for the cold.  He has four or five coats. 

    People who spend their entire dog walk blabbing on their cell  phones.  They do get kudos for getting off their couch and walking their dog but by being on their cell phone the whole time they've completely removed themselves from the situation.  They are oblivious to the beauty of nature around them, to their dog(s) and how it interacts with everything around them, to other walkers and their dogs, to their neighbors if they're walking in the hood, etc.  They are in Cell Phone Land and might as well not even be there. 
     I bring my cell phone when I walk my dogs but only for emergencies or if I come across a great photo op.  Otherwise it stays in my pocket and I give my full attention to the dog and the walk.

Jennifer Coolidge commercials.  They're everywhere at least in America.  They're supposed to be funny.  They're not.  They're asinine. Most people probably just block them out.  Really stupid commercials bother me.

Why? Does everything have to be heavily funded to be believed? If you ask me it's great that people are trying to uncover new secrets of the past without any significant funding.

I'll admit that I don't know too much about these topics, so I'm not completely sure about the funding. I just naturally assume that better-known and more 'proven' histories are better funded.

But I find it strange that you clumped together aliens with the other 2 - Atlantis and Bosnian Pyramids. Again I don't know too much about the theories surrounding the latter two (even though ironically my family is originally from Bosnia), but I find the idea of Atlantis much more believable than something like Aliens.

It's primarily the carelessness - the "pseudoarchaeologists" will typically emphasize their own points (i.e: Bosnian pyramids looking pyramid shaped and hence being man-made superstructures), while vilifying people who say otherwise and excluding any other view altogether. Yes they have a right to speculate, but the way it's typically done is so anti-intellectual and so condescending, while often simultaneously fabricating evidence to support their theory and leaving out important details that contradict them. Or not researching the topic thoroughly at all and spewing off things they've merely heard other people say.

I, for one, love the idea of Atlantis. The idea is not the problem, it's how the theories are presented as firmly as facts and the facts as theory. And sure, the established facts could be erroneous, but if they are suspect, how much more are many of the pseudoarchaeological theories, which are riddled with faulty logic and contradictions? 

People who hold your refrigerator door open for five minutes while they decide what they want.  Yes, that will )*^% me off without fail.
