The Worst Colleges (For Getting Your Money's Worth)



Good fucking luck!
















College takes a long time, it's difficult, and at least in America,
it's fucking expensive. The average level of student loan debt for
an American student is over $23,000, and about a third of students
don't even stay enrolled past their first year. When choosing a
school, it would serve you well to research how good of a return
on investment you're likely to get for your (or your parent's)
money, so that you can feel a little better when you hopefully
graduate and receive your potentially useless college degree.

Tuition.IO has come up with a handy list of the worst colleges
as far as ROI. They also have a list of the best ones, but this
blog is not concerned with the "best" of anything, so fucking
find it yourself. We have featured a couple of "worst college"
lists on this blog before, and I'm mildly surprised to not see
any of the schools from those lists on this one, unless I've
missed something. The schools on this list are spread all
over the USA. You have Concord in West Virginia (#10),
Jackson State in Mississippi (#8), and Medaille College
in New York (#3), for example.

For the rest of the list, click HERE.

The Worst Reality TV Shows

















Ahhh, reality television. How else do the dozens (or hundreds?) of
broadcast, cable, dish and satellite channels now in existence fill their
countless hours of airtime? They can either air movies or reruns of old
sitcoms, or they can spend what seems like a few dollars and cheaply
produce hours of shows featuring people yelling/doing stupid things/
being mentally ill. And why not? Your average reality show episode
has probably already paid for itself after its first commercial break.
Unfortunately, the networks' inclination for filling time with cheap,
fake, painfully-scripted "reality" is that TV is now littered with more
shit shows than anyone can possibly keep track of. And quite
frankly, it's becoming increasingly difficult for connoiseurs of crap
such as myself  to differentiate which ones are "the worst". I asked
the internet what it thought about this urgent, important subject,
and here's what I found. Click below to see what may truly be
considered the worst of the worst, past and present...

13 Worst Predictions For 2013

What does unlucky '13 have in store for us, since 2012 unfortunately
failed to bring about the end of humanity? Here are some things that
we might see over the course of this new year:













1. President Obama comes out as a brony.

2. More movie trilogies of reboots of remakes of characters from
    other media.

3. Real Housewives: The Musical

4. School shooters who only kill other school shooters.

5. Florida is finally kicked out of the United States.

6. Donald Trump kills himself after 5 minutes pass without someone
    paying attention to him.

7. Forget tattoos and piercings: the next hot thing will be neck
    elongation.

8. Equality of opportunity for all citizens (just kidding!).

9. Osama Bid Laden still alive; is actually Joaquin Phoenix.

10. iCrap, the world's first toilet/tablet, sells out in 30 minutes.

11. More movies about the precious, quirky adventures of upper
     middle class white people with interesting, easy jobs.

12. At least one NFL player -- or 83 -- will get arrested for something.

13. Ultra-conservative gays form the Teabagger Party.

The 11 Worst Public Universities In America


















Last summer, I posted a link to a list of the fifty worst colleges in 
America. However, just in case you were curious as to what the
worst public colleges in America are, The Fiscal Times brings us
a list of the 11 crappiest public universities in the country. You'll see
a couple that you may recognize from the "50 worst list", such as
Southern University at New Orleans and the University of the
District of Columbia, as well as lesser-known wastes of time and
money like Ohio University Southern Campus and Cameron
University. The best school on this list is Coppin State University
in Baltimore, with an unimpressive graduation rate of 16.3%. So
you know the rest of these shitholes won't rate very well at all.
For the full list of state schools not to waste your Pell Grant money
on, click HERE.

Jill Stein for President of the United States

My endorsement for the 2012 Presidential Election: Jill Stein of
the Green Party. She is pro-environment, women's and gay rights,
working people, drug legalization, and anti-war.















Instead of wasting a vote on one of two major party candidates
who don't care about real people's problems, and never will, vote
for someone real. Or at least help the Greens get enough votes to
secure a spot on the ballot next time around, and help build a
stronger and more diverse democracy in America.

If Jill's too left wing for you, may I suggest taking a look at former
New MexicoGovernor Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party?
Either way, VOTE (just not for Romney or Obama)! Thank you!

Music website Pajiba brings us this list of the 11 worst musical
acts of the decade spanning 2000 to 2009. It is chillingly accurate,

such a list: Black Eyed...uuugghhh, sorry, started getting nauseous
there...Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, the douchebags from the
FreeCreditReport.com commercials...well, dammit, just go and
read it. I need to go throw up like it's New Year's Day:

Worst Movie Scene Reenactment Ever

Thank you to my friend and groomsman Tom P. in San Francico,
for once again bringing to my attention something hilarious/
disturbing he found online.

This time around, we have a reenactment of a scene from
Predator, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl
Weathers.




I know, a true classic. So, how can this possibly be made
better? By having two 13-year olds cheaply reenact it...
in blackface.




Actually, this seems to be just one kid putting together
this award-winning performance, not two, which adds to
the deliciousness. Also, for some reason, I am reminded of
what Al Jolson would've looked  like if he could've turned into
the Hulk.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

Worst New Blog





I, like most bloggers, love starting blogs and then abandoning them.
Except for this one, which I do update, I just do it like every 20
years. Here's my  latest blog destined to be completely forgotten
in about 3 weeks: Weird Transmissions. It deals mostly with
shortwave radio (a big hobby of mine), but will touch on radio in
general. Visit it at: http://weirdtransmissions.blogspot.com/

Thanks!



Worst Songs Ever













As a bitterly arrogant music snob, to me, 99% of all popular
songs ever recorded would qualify for a "Worst Songs Ever"
list. So I won't even try to make a personal list of songs I
consider the worst. For one thing, it would be osbolete
every few weeks (or days). Instead, I direct  you to a few
lists of the worst songs ever released. These are certainly not
very current, so you probably won't see as much Katy Perry,
Gotye, Nickelback, Kelly Clarkson or LMFAO as you might
expect. Yeah, I said Gotye, fuck you.


First, we have Wikipedia's list. Too short, but very instructive:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_considered_the_worst


Then, there's AOL Radio's list. The blurbs could've been better,
but this is AOL we're talking about:

http://www.aolradioblog.com/2010/09/11/worst-songs/


And finally, a pretty decent list some dude posted on HubPages:

http://dj-funktual.hubpages.com/hub/100-Worst-Songs-of-All-Time


And remember, commercial radio: repetition is the best way to ruin
a song, even a good one.
