I used to rant and rant about the word 'respect' and the fact that idiots have misused it to the point where it had become the most meaningless word in the English language. For awhile anyone who worked for the city making shit money was given an 'atta boy and called a 'hero' and that was annoying as all fuck. But nothing comes close to the flagrant misuse of the term 'Legendary.'
Any lump of DNA with half a pulse and the slightest bit of media attention is referred to as 'legendary.' Omorosa is a legendary reality show contestant, Danny Bonnaduce is a legendary TV icon, VH1 reunited the legendary band Vixen...I shit you not, someone that was paid to talk actually said those things. It's like how anyone who gets their picture taken with clothes on is a 'supermodel' and any attention whore who posts a naked picture that no one wants to see is now a 'porn star.' Nobody earns shit and there is no standard anymore. I know that this isn't a matter of life and death, but sometimes I just have to point out stupidity that gives me a rash.

Remember those retarded "Real American Hero" Bud Light radio adverts?
The first two were "Mr. Footlong Hot Dog Inventor" and "Mr. Really Bad Toupee Wearer".
Well after 9/11 they panicked and changed it to "Real Men of Genius"
Clowns.
from wiki wiki what?
"Each sixty-second ad pays mock tribute to an "unsung hero". The series began in 1999 and was originally called Real American Heroes. The name was changed after the 9/11 attacks, as Anheuser-Busch felt that they could not continue to use the term "hero" in that context after so many people had performed genuine acts of heroism."
The campaign has since become the most award-winning radio campaign in the history of advertising.
Yeah that was gayer than John Travolta when they changed that. I was actually a fan of those ads even through the genius years. Lately they have become really stale and a shell of their former selves, but a couple of them made me laugh out loud. Maybe it's just my awful taste.
Or maybe it was your affinity for Chris Biancardi.
