Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Bieber, JedwardDon't know and don't care about Bieber, Jedward, SuBo, or whoever else.
They all do, however, tie into two irrational hatreds:
1) Saying (for example): "Yeah, Justin Bieber or whatever his name is." Thereby implying that the person, about whom they are no doubt preparing to quote a recycled Graham Norton gag, is extremely unimportant to them, to the extent that they pretend that they have in fact been lucky to even guess the name of the person accurately.
2) Any of the above becoming substitutes for actual writing, creativity, punchlines, comedic ability in TV shows, standups, newspaper columns, and indeed conversation.
For example :-
Someone: "(Topical References) blah blah blah Justin Bieber!!"
Everyone else: "Hahahaha. Most amusing."

OH MY GOD YESEspecially the last one. I frequently have to turn Radio 4 / Radio 7 comedy shows off when they resort to this lazy, 'pop-culture-icon-in-the-stocks' arsery. ESPECIALLY especially that blonde, short-haired 'comedian' that's often on Charlie Brooker things. What's her name...?
