Good Lord, this was a long rant!
Though I know what you mean, Flo. These types of people you are referring to are called "fanboys". I should know because I've seen tons of rants about fanboys on YouTube. You've actually done a couple commentaries on some fanboys yourself, Flo. AKnotholeResident, Guptail89, and I think ChrisChan all fall under that category.

It may not be just fanboys that I've ranted about, as there are more to them than just showing off immature behavior when someone says anything negative about what they like, and I haven't mentioned what those things are in the rant. And yes, I have commentated on AKnotholeResident, Guptill89, and Chris-Chan, but the subject of the rant is simply about people who exhibit immature behavior when someone says anything negative about whatever they like, not fanboys in general.

You know what's bullsh*t? The modern design of McDonald's restaurants.
I know topics like this are usually ridiculous to rant about and are usually subject to commentaries, but I just don't like the new design that McDonald's is going for these days. It doesn't look very visually appealing. Compare it to the previous design. It looks like Ronald McDonald's house. It gives off a magical feeling when you look at it and makes you excited to go there. Now look at the new design. Does it give off the same effect? No! In fact, it doesn't even make me think of McDonald's at all, even though it says it's McDonald's and has the trademark logo on the building, I still don't think it screams McDonald's. Another thing I've noticed is that since they've started going to this new design, the quality of the food and the service has decreased as well! That's what needs to be improved, not the design of the building! I understand it's trying to go for a more modern look, but it could get dated pretty fast; the previous design had a more timeless look. People have argued with me countless times that change isn't always bad and modernization isn't always a bad thing, but either way you look at it, it takes some time to get used to.
You can argue with me all you want about the new McDonald's deign, but I just don't like it! I think it's bullsh*t.

You know what's BS?
There's nothing wrong with picking favorites. Everyone should have a right to have their favorite things in any category. Everyone is enlightened to their own opinions. However, there are some people who tend to automatically favor new things when they come out. I've seen people make top 10 lists of their favorite things, and a lot of times whenever something new in that category comes out and they like it a lot, they usually put it at the #1 spot. Like for example, if a new movie comes out, and someone really likes it; they immediately dub it their favorite movie of all time. Or if a new ride opens in a Disney park; they claim it to be their #1 favorite ride. Look, there's nothing wrong with having new stuff be put into your favorites, but just because it's the newest thing doesn't mean it has to be your #1 favorite. To me, when people do this, it shows that they only care about new school stuff and give zero appreciation to classics. It also shows that they no longer care about stuff they've loved in the past. I mean, I really enjoyed "Frozen" when it first came out, but I didn't dub it as my #1 all-time favorite Disney movie! My favorite was still "101 Dalmatians", and it still is and always will be! Look if you want to make a list of your top favorite movies, rides or whatever, if you want to include the newest one on your list, that's totally fine, but don't put it at the #1 spot unless you have a really good reason, and I mean REALLY good! Putting it at the #2 spot is just as bad too.
Another thing: I don't really understand the types of people who don't like to pick favorites at all (like a favorite character in a TV show). I hear a lot of people say, "I don't like to pick favorites because all the characters serve an important purpose to the show." Look people, there's nothing wrong with picking a favorite. It's not like if you pick Fluttershy as your favorite pony on MLP, the rest are just going to disappear from the show completely! It's also not like everyone is going to hate you for it!
I just don't understand why so many people have to be so indecisive. I respect everyone's opinions, but if you're someone who tends to favor new stuff the minute it comes out, or you refuse to pick any favorites, then it takes away a lot of the fun, and to me, that's BS.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S BULLsh*t? Restaurants.
Restaurants are so unpredictable. You can never tell how long you have to wait to be seated or if you need to make reservations. Each restaurant should have something on their websites or on Yelp that should say "Reservation Required". That way, you'll know. But no! You have to just take a wild guess and just know the place!
Another thing I hate about restaurants is the menus. They always have so many things you can't make up your mind, and other times they don't give you enough information whether it be the price or the dish itself. You're also unaware of the size of the dish. It's like if you don't want something too heavy, so you order something you think looks good and won't be too big, but when they serve it to you, it's like a gigantic mound of food!
Have you ever looked at a restaurant menu? They list appetizers, soups, entres, desserts...that's fine, but where are the drinks? That's what I want to know. I just want to order a fountain soda, but you can look all over the menu, and you will not see the drinks anywhere, forcing you to have to ask the waitress. Some restaurants have their own separate menus for drinks, but it's all alcoholic drinks. Seriously, why do restaurants find drinks to be so taboo that they can't put them on their menus?
But the most inconvenient thing about restaurants are the servers themselves. They always come to your table at the most inconvenient time like when you're in the middle of a conversation, and they butt in interrupting your conversation. At least they are friendly for the most part, but having a rude server just makes it even worse!
I understand that when it comes to restaurants, it's the good food and friendly service that matters, but they're still not perfect. If they can fix these flaws that I listed, then I can call restaurants perfect and convenient, but those flaws are just bullsh*t!

I need to make this rant here. This is about something that's confusing me a lot.
Ever since this decade began there have been a lot of animated films getting released. There have been some with high expectations, and others with low expectations. What I don't understand is that the ones with high expectations somehow always turn out to be masterpieces, while the ones with low expectations always turn out to be heaps of garbage that nobody likes and wind up being referred to as the worst animated films ever made. People's opinions are not bullsh*t, but what I don't get is how the public seems to be able to predict the future. Some of the animated masterpieces we've got this decade include "Toy Story 3", "Frozen", "Zootopia" and "Moana", but everyone was somehow able to predict they were going to be perfect films way before they were released, and they were right! Same case goes for the bad ones; with films like "Alpha & Omega", "The Nut Job", "Norm of the North" and "Rock Dog", everyone somehow knew these were going to be horrible films, and after they were released, it's like everyone hates them! I would think one would need to watch the movie first before they judge it, but how is today's audiences able to predict from a mile away if an animated movie is either going to be perfect or garbage? It just makes no sense! If they can predict he future this accurately, then why should Hollywood even bother building up the suspense? As for everything in between, I have no say in that, because they will have mixed reviews no matter what.

You know what's bullsh*t? Cats!
Cats are supposed to be the next best animal to have as pets next to dogs, but there are just too many things about them that make them get on your nerves.
For one thing, they're always getting in your way. They either get under your feet so you trip over them, or they get right up into your face!
They also like to jump up onto things like furniture, so if you have anything fragile up there, and a cat jumps up there, consider it broken!
Another thing I hate is when they find the need to leave surprises all over the house! This is usually a sign that they're not feeling good, and this is why cat owners have litter boxes for them to use, but they're always too stubborn to use them even when they're perfectly clean! These cats just love to piss their owners off! What's even worse is when they decide to mark territory by spraying!
A lot of people suggest why don't you just make your cat an outdoor cat? Well, that is a good solution, but then they develop new habits like get into fights with other feral cats waking you up in the middle of the night!
Sometimes, you want to pet and cuddle a cat, but they never let you anywhere near them! They always run away from you!
But the absolute worst thing about cats is how they demand food. They always sit in one place when they are ready to be fed and go nuts around you until you feed them. It doesn't matter if you're doing something more important like paying your bills or taking care of a sick family member, no! Feeding your cats always has to take priority over everything else! What stubborn little beasts!
Dogs are much better animals. They're always so cute and friendly, they show you their love, and they always care about their owners. Cats, on the other hand, only care about themselves!
That's bullsh*t!

James Rolfe made quite a few rants about DVD's, but I have similar problems with them. Here's how I think his DVD rant should have gone:
YOU KNOW WHATS BULLLLLLLLsh*t?
DVD's.
Don't get me wrong. DVD's are a great thing to have if you want to own your favorite movies, but there are a lot of problems they have that need to be improved.
For starters, let's look at the cases. What's with this cardboard box that covers the case? Why do we need it? It looks exactly the same as the DVD case alone, so just throw it in the garbage! Believe it or not, that'll save you some room on the shelf. My only thought as to why they have these boxes is because when people first buy a DVD, it's in shrink wrap, which require scissors to open. That's probably to protect the DVD case from getting ruined. Okay, I can accept that, but sometimes the DVD case still has the shrink wrap on it! So what's the point?
Another thing I hate are those security stickers! They're such a pain to peel off! You will never be able to peel them off as a whole! It's always in little bits! Are these stickers purposely designed that way? We didn't have this problem with VHS. No, wait...actually, we did. Some VHS tapes when first sold had a sticker on the bottom sticking the tape to the box. That's to protect it from slipping out. That's a good thing. These stickers on the other hand, my only explanation is to prevent people from stealing the discs.
I also hate those little things that snap the DVD cases shut. The case closes just fine without them. Sometimes people don't even notice this and can't open the DVD only to discover those snap things!
What I really hate is how they design the insides of the cases. Each one is different. Most of the time, it's so hard to get the DVD out of the case you have to force it out! Often times, I end up bending the DVD, and I'm always afraid I'm going to break it! It gets even worse when it's a blue ray because they layer them. You got the DVD, the blue ray, the 3D blue ray, another disc with bonus material, and the digital copy! Don't you think that's excessive?
Then there's the region coding. Some DVD's and blue rays can't play on DVD players in some parts of the world! This is another problem we never had with VHS.
Now that we've got the casing and stuff out of the way, let's put the disc in and watch the movie. Oh, but first, you gotta see some logos, trailers and ads! That's right, you gotta sit through all this once you put the DVD in! Some of these, you can bypass, but other times, it won't let you! So if you want to go to the menu, your first option is to hit the menu button. If that doesn't work, then try the chapter skip button. If that doesn't work, then try the fast-forward button. If none of those work, then you're ****ed; you have to sit and watch all this garbage you never asked for!
The menus can also get frustrating. Like sometimes when you go to select a different menu screen, sometimes you have to wait for an animation to play before it's brought up just because some numnuts wanted to show off! Other times you can't even see the cursor on the menu at all! Where is it? WHERE IS IT? But the worst I've seen about these menus is some of them don't have the patience to wait for you. It's like I pop the DVD in and go into another room to finish getting set up for the movie I'm about to see until suddenly, I realize, the movie just started up all by itself! Yes, some DVD's just start the movie all by themselves if you keep the main menu open long enough! It's like the DVD is deliberately trolling you! It's like it's saying, "Oh, you're not gonna start the movie? Well, **** you!"
Blue Rays don't seem to have any of those said problems. The menus operate smoothly and quickly, you can always see the cursor, and it never starts the movie until you are ready. The only downside is they take longer to load, and understandably, that's because of their high definition.
Another thing I don't understand is why DVD's nowadays are getting worse with their special features. They no longer have interactive games, trivia games, deleted scenes, audio commentary, or anything like that. Nowadays, it's mostly just boring stuff! Also, why do DVD's have downloadable content? If you're going to have special features, but then on the DVD! Don't force people to go into the Internet!
DVDs and blue rays seriously need some improvements, and that's bullsh*t!

You know what's bullsh*t?
James Rolfe has made a lot of rants about things associated with DVD's, and I've made some too, but there's one more thing about DVD's and Blu-Rays that I want to rant about.
The cover of a DVD or Blu-Ray should show a good representation of what the movie is about. However, there are a lot of times when movies get re-released, and they have to follow this stupid trend: All they show is an extreme close-up of the main character's face over a solid-color background and just slap the title of the movie on it! I usually see these in retail stores like Target and Albertsons, but even online warehouses have them too! This is just a sign of laziness, and not to mention it freaks me out! I don't know who's idea it was to start this trend, but it's gotten out of hand! From my perspective, it's made to show people that this is a low-budget, bare-bones release of the movie without telling people what the movie is actually about. I'm not going to know what the movie is if you just take a photo of the main character and press him right up to my face! Not to mention, a regular consumer who hasn't seen the movie will feel alienated and drawn away from it. Way to go at failing in your sales department! As if My Little Pony isn't having enough trouble getting its audience!
That's bullsh*t!

I think Ani Mat has recently posted a Video, about his Top Ten Wrst D V D or Blu Ray Covers, and I think that type of D V D Cover in General made his Number Four.
Is that where this rant comes from, Belchic?
