Annoying

Hello all,

I know that I haven't really written anything lately. And this will not be about life changing experiences here in Korea or about my time here (actually, it's a little about my time here) or even about me coming back. It's about something so wretched and foul that I must bring it to light. Annoying Orange.

If you're unfamiliar with Annoying Orange, consider yourself fortunate. Half-witted attempts at being humorous by using slogans from 10-year old TV commercials and completely irritating routines. The creator of this can get away with people who actually see the remarkable stupidity in this by citing the title of the character. "Well, it's meant to be annoying," they may say.

Why is this worthy of my coming out of hiding to complain? Because some dumb broad at work, thinking this the most hilarious piece of comedy, decided to spread it to all of the students who, not knowing any better (being that they're 1st to 8th graders, and really, what the hell do kids know about comedy?), can't get enough of it. And those students spread it to their brothers and sisters in my classes. Now it's quotes from this god-awful mess and chants for "teacher, Annoying Orange! Please, teacher! We want to watch!" Which subsequently leads to rants as to the lack of intelligence and comedic value that Annoying Orange possesses. This still does not dissuade the students from loving the hell out of that turd.

So, to the co-worker who shall remain nameless, thank you for making the last few months of my stay here slightly more irritating while in class. And I know I've given this shitbag free advertisement, so I'll refrain from posting a link. If you're so desperate to see what I'm talking about, look it up yourself. I promise, you'll regret it.
