What's Up With That6?

The Wooden One
How is Wayne Gretzski not better at acting? He's been doing endorsements for like 20 years and he is still as wooden as a 2X4. I mean, didn't they have the foresight to get the greatest hockey player of all time a few acting lessons? They guy has done Saturday Night Live…wooden, TV commercials…oak tree, and tones of charity events…stiff as a board. I don't really blame him, I mean he is a hockey player not an actor but it's painful to see the most gifted hockey player in the world stumble over lines for a Toyota commercial. I'm starting to think that people are going to worry that ALL Canadians are like that…or just maybe it's hockey players…then again all of the good ones are Canadian anyway.

Conversation Killer
Why is it that whenever a baby enters the room the conversation stops? Sure the 10-pound, pooping machine is cute, but it's like adults can't find anything to talk about once the baby has arrived. Once a baby is in the equation it's goodbye party, hello boring. It's like when you're sitting around a campfire. You can stare at the flames for hours without saying anything, just sitting and enjoying a little pioneer TV. Are we that easily mesmerized? I mean the baby can't cook your food and you don't throw garbage into the baby to watch it burn, heck, and if you pee on the baby it doesn't make that cool sizzling sound…I need a life.

Tough Choice
If you only see one movie this summer…make it this one! I can't stand this saying. I mean, who actually only has the option of doing something once? Who is limiting these people to only be able to hear ONE album? What type of dictatorship do we live in that is going to limit us to such a strict diet of entertainment? Are people actually like this? "Now remember son, you only get to see one movie this year…make sure this is the one you want!" I understand that you are trying to get people to come out see you movie, but please sir, can we have some more?

Thanks for joining me for what the hell is that all about? Tune in next time when we ask: Is this Internet thing going to catch on? Thank you, good night and remember: it's not the size of the complaint, but the fact that you make it.

	What's Up With That?
		Hey boys and girls, it's time for another installment of 'What the hell is that all about?' Every once and a while you notice things that make you question why do they do that? Or who's the idiot responsible for this? Generally just observations about life and little things that we like to call pet peeves. It's the little things that bug us everyday, but sometimes are too small or commonplace to warrant any serious action to have them stopped. Some people might not even notice these things, but here at boldopinion.com we're trained experts in the field of what's-up-with-that-ology. Usually we deliver our opinions in a one opinion per article format, however sometimes there are just so many little grievances with the world we have to put them all together. And I still have the cast on so I don't want to type much. The Wooden One How is Wayne Gretzski not better at acting?
