I've always wanted a place to complain freely.  And I now have my chance.  I'll reserve this spot for my rants about the craziness of the world today.  There's no set topic, and everyone is a possible target.  Pay no attention to this section if you don't want, it's not important.  But if you want to see what's wrong with society, then read on.  So sit back, grab some popcorn and a coke, and start reading, and discover what's been bugging me.  (I know some of the older rants are kinda irrelevant now, but hey, they bugged me and here's the rant I wrote back when it was the relevant.)

Rant: TV & Babies
Dated: 5-14-00

I was watching television recently (as I'm accustomed to doing occasionally), and I saw a commercial for a diaper company.  In it they showed the baby's rear end in full view of the camera.  Now for many, this doesn't even cross their minds.  But for me, I'm sick and tired of seeing a baby's behind on television.  I don't find it cute, or appealing.  I do not feel that my television viewing should be subjected to being shown the butts of babies.  Now I do not say that viewing of your own child's behind (e.g. during diaper changes) is something that is wrong and shouldn't be done (eck, that sounded wrong, but wasn't meant that way, but I can't word it any better).  There is no need to show baby butts when selling a diaper, much like the same way feminine hygiene products don't show the area of usage.  I know that for some (coughfemalescough) they feel as if this is cute, and don't mind seeing them, but I don't.  I do not feel that they are cute, and don't want my television invaded with their images.  I implore you advertising companies, please do not show the naked buttocks of infants or otherwise.  If you continue to do so, I will be forced to drive by your company picnics with my friends and moon you all in protest of your commercials.
