Stuck on Stupid

Have you ever met or come across someone that just insisted on being stuck in a stupid thought or situation?  Like, no matter how much good counsel you provide, how idiotic the other person sounds or how sound your logic is, they just have to be strong and wrong. I had an encounter like this in a comments thread on an urban blog site. Here's how it went:

The only thing that matters, in this case, are ratings. If you watched to hate or watched due to curiosity, you still watched and your watching behavior was noted. Since this isn't a tv series, all they need to do is bank on a day's worth of ratings and they're set. So, for those of you who can't figure out how the movie got so far when it was so bad, now you know and the people at lifetime are all cackling at you.

^^^ they can cackle all they want, but it doesn't change the fact that the movie was bad.

@11:01am They don't care if it's bad...they only need you to watch. Most lifetime original movies suck but that doesn't stop them from continuing to make them

@11:31 that's fine that they don't care, that still doesn't change the fact that it was a bad movie.

@11:38 OMG...no one is debating if the movie was bad or not...why are you stuck on that? The gist of the blog entry is that no matter how bad the movie was, Lifetime still got their coins because people watched that train wreck of a movie.

@11:41 I hear you...but one problem at a time please ;)

@12:17 This is a comment section...therefore, I can talk about whatever I want. As I stated before, the ratings don't change the quality of the movie, which was poor. Of course the ratings were high - in 2001, Aaliyah was on the cusp of becoming huge (even though I agree with Realist that she wasn't the most super talented singer). Those who tuned in only did so to talk about how bad it was. It's not like the repeats will garnish those types of numbers, because they won't...and when they do air it, all people will do is talk about how bad it was.

@12:42pm...forget it. The point I was trying to make is lost. I'm saying one thing and you're still talking about something else. Enjoy your day and be blessed.

@1:11 Forgotten. You have your point, I have mine. I can read, I know what the post was about. You've missed my point as well. Have a nice day as well.

Ok...Can you tell which one I am?

I'll wait...



If you couldn't guess, I start the 10:56 post and then some random THOT decided she needed to respond. Now, I don’t know if this tired individual is a male or female; I just decided it had to be a girl because I can’t see a man going back and forth like this

Anyway, I hope you guys can see what I was trying to say; that no matter how bad this movie was, it still got the ratings and that is ALL Lifetime cares about. As long as fool-minded suckas keep watching crap, they are going to keep showing you crap. Lifetime had like a $20k budget and flipped that into a ton of advertising dollars because fools kept watching the terrible movie.

Somehow, the individual who decided that they needed to respond could not or would not see that. No matter what I said, even when I agreed with her, she still decided that she had to be right. But here’s the kicker…it wasn’t even a debate. So I was drawn into some sort of twisted conversation with a willfully ignorant person. My bad and shame on me. This will be the same person that will argue how cold it is outside while you’re discussing barometric pressure. It’s like “WTF! Why are you talking? More importantly, why are you talking to me?”

To give you some more perspective, the title of the blog post was “Aaliyah: Princess of R&B Ratings Bonanza for Lifetime." So, the blog and my comment discuss ratings while you still stuck on the quality of the show. Yeah, ok. So, you got “Short Bus Shawty” written all over your face. Good day, ma’am. ("Read a Book" also comes to mind since reading comprehension is low on her list of priorities.)
