griping due to lack of creativity

academic papers that try to be cute and informal.

notices with empty promises of reductions in my student loans.

urban planners, especially europeans, who write sentences like this, "city regions as systems within systems of city regions."

flowers on tissue boxes.

random photographs of people on websites (check out the blonde and ask yourself why: http://att.sbc.com/gen/public-affairs?pid=2508)
