apocalypsosLet's kill time. Tell me the worst song you've ever heard, the worst movie you've ever seen, the worst TV show you've ever watched, and the worst book you ever read.
EDIT: Just so I answer ...
Worst song: "King of Wishful Thinking". Not because it sucked, but because I was once subjected to it over and over again in a continuous loop at a mall and ever since then ... NO.
Worst movie: House of 1000 Corpses, probably. Blech.
Worst TV show: A tie between Mutant X and Seventh Heaven.
Worst book: I can't remember the title, but before Titanic came out in the theaters, before it was cool to be a Titanic geek, I was so starved for Titanic lit when I was in high school that I bought this romance novel I saw at CVS that was set on the ship. It was horrendous. Not only were the female characters annoyingly Mary Sue (I believe they were hotie teenage twins named Smoke and Swan or Shindig and Salmon or some stupid twin alliteration like that) but the author gave real people on the ship entirely different histories. The one that pissed me off the most was that Captain Smith ended up having a mistress living with him on the ship in his freaking quarters. *eye roll*

My own mother on hearing the song said it was "sweet". Of course the version she heard was Sting singing it at Farm Aid as a ballad with just a piano.
Nevermind the song is about a whore.
*facepalm*

You from Texas?" at unpredictable intervals from people I introduce myself to, I can feel some of your pain (despite the impression the above questions might give), and I don't think you're taking it too hard at all. Hence the permission to clobber me if my questions are un- or anti-helpful.
