Or, “How A Cliché Changes Its Usage, In Five Easy Steps”
I: Status Quo
November 4, 2005:
What’s more important: talent, coaching, or swagger? These quotes may help you decide. Each tells us something important about that magical gait.

Don’t Buy: Kurt Cobain today!

We get it. Kurt Cobain was an icon. He was a major player in the grunge movement and proponent of teenage angst back in the 1990s. But he’s dead. He died back ‘94. But for some reason, people keep doing things to his memory that just… miss the point of “who he was.”

It is apparently “Talk in Third Person Day.”
No.

Don’t Buy: These Characters

Don’t Buy: Dudes in Jewelry Commercials

I get it. You’re a sweet and caring dude who loves giving presents to his girlfriend. Nothing wrong with that. But do you have to be so weird about it?

“I’m right here….and I always will be.” Good effort, I guess. Shows that you’re loyal and that you can come up with some quick quips. But [...]

Don’t Buy: Degrassi Season 8

So this is my first post for BODB! I don’t intend on making it a regular thing but I felt a moral obligation to all fans of Degrassi: The Next Generation to warn them against continuing to watch the deformed beast this once great show has become.
Foremost on the list are the new characters they [...]
