This one gets used constantly over on the Disney board. People act as if their kids will be scarred for life if they don't go to Disney World while they are in preschool. My first Disney trip was when I was almost 14 and I loved every second of it. Heck, the place didn't even open until I was 7 and I grew up just fine.

I dunno steve... im 25 and have never been to disney world. im still in therapy for it.


(nah, just kidding). i think its a wee silly taking kids younger than 8 or so when they wont even remember it!

And don't they do one with appliances too? I want a new dishwasher but I will have to wait cuz I don't think that it will help to destroy my current one, no matter how bad it is acting!

You Only Live Once.

Personally this is the most over used quote by everyone to justify their excessive purchases.

Collect Them All.

This quote was on every toy commercial when I was really into toys, comic books, and marvel cards circa 92 - 97.

this is truley my all time most hated

"Fake it till you make it"

It's not a quote, per se, but I hate the newest commercial for freecreditreport.com. It's a guy singing a song about how somene stole his identity, and because he didn't check his credit report, he's stuck serving food to tourists.

I hate this commercial because there's nothing wrong with waiting tables. I did it for quite a long time, and it's not a job any idiot can do. There really is an art to it. It's respectable, hard work. I hate how some people treat "menial laborers," as if they're worthless people. Every "crappy" job is important - whether it's bagging groceries, cleaning toilets or pumping gas. Though I'm educated and do "brain work," I will never look down my nose at anyone for what they do. Anyone who works hard for a living deserves to feel proud of themselves.
