      I'm thinking about making a Maddox-like website. Two topics.

      For those of you who don't know what the Maddox website is, its is the greatest website to ever come to the internet and it consists of a guy that rants about things that piss him off. Sounds stupid, but its a great website. Well, heres two topics that I will discuss. Tell me if I do a good job. No profanity, but if I make a website expect it.

      It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are and how funny people think it is.
      I was in math class today, and we were reviewing 5th grade stuff, fractions. Now, our teacher was giving us easy problems that the students were complaining about when my 5th grade brother could get them right. There was one kid who said the right answers (I knew them, but I don't blurt out the answer when I know it), and people were astonished. The hardest problem she gave us was "Whats 80% as a fraction?" and amazingly, the kid got it in a whopping three seconds! Nearly three seconds later, we hear 4/5. The class was baffled at how quickly this kid got the problem correctly so quickly. The next ten seconds consisted of questions/complements like"How did you get that so fast?". Are people that retarted? Goodness, the second my teacher said the question I knew the answer. Can't you stupid children reduce by two's in 2 seconds?

      Another thing, pretending to be stupid when you're not isn't funny. We've been reading Twelfth Night in literature for the past three or so weeks, and we have this meat head who gets all As and Bs that is complaining about Viola dressing up as a guy and Oliva falls in love with her disguise. Everytime the incognito topic is discussed, the kid yells "WAIT I'M
      CONFUSED!!!". No, you're not. You're trying to be funny, and you've failed to do so. The only thing that confuses me at this point is why kids in my class are laughing at him. This is the same kid who comes in class and won't shut up everyday. Our teacher pretends to hate him, but she admires him, and hates me. I mess around in other classes, but I havn't done a thing wrong in literature. I got a detention one time in this class because I was discussing the grade my friend got when I graded his paper. This kid will blurt out stupid questions (yes, there are such thing) when the class is in complete silence. And best of all, our teacher doesn't care when he does it, but I get in trouble because I was discussing whether or not my friend missed a problem or didn't. I got a detention in this class one time for having my shirt untucked (school dress code), while this kid comes in everyday with his shirt hanging out and our teacher doesn't do anything about it.

      You don't need a cell phone.

      Theres kids at my school that are 12 years old and, oddly enough, have a cell phone that their mommy and daddy bought them. If you don't drive and you have a cell phone, good job, your parents spend an unnecessary fee of $300 or so a year. Theres this sixth grader, yes, the grade you're 11 years old and you turn 12, on our bus that everyday brags about her cell phone and her iPod that her parents bought her. I asked her how much songs she has on her 4 gigabite iPod (which holds 5,000 songs), and she gives me 39. Parents: why buy your kid an iPod when they're going to put 40 crappy songs on it? We might as well trade mp3 Players, because mine hold 120 songs, and I paid $120 for it. The only iPods that I have encountered at my school that weren't mommy and daddy bought were my two friends', one paid for his own iPod Shuffle, and the other won a 4gig in a contest. And the best part is, they have an iPod! Hey parents: if you're gonna spend $250 on an mp3 Player, you could at least delight your spoiled little kid with a Creative Zen Micro and save $30. It favors a gigabite and it has a better touchpad and its just all around better.

      I bet every one of those 39 songs were from some lame pop artists too.

      It is not that hard to make a site like Maddox. I know many people who do the same thing as Maddox. Just be pissed off at something and write about it.

      Maddox is only funny once. There's been loads of people that think "that looks god, hey he's popular, let's jump on the bandwagon". Sure if you can't think of anything else to do and think going over the great iPod, Cell Phone and "How Maddox Is Not Funny" debates is gonna actually get read by people, then go for it.

      if you're gonna spend $250 on an mp3 Player, you could at least delight your spoiled little kid with a Creative Zen Micro and save $30. It favors a gigabite and it has a better touchpad and its just all around better.[/b]
      You see, I wouldn't spend my time going to a site that just says "don't do this, do THAT". I've already got one, and that does it better, and that is Maddox.

      Michael Jackson made awesome music. I don't care if hes white now, or molested children, his music was good.

      Don't make me make a topic on music...

      you'll be quickly called a copy-cat and many will just think you are attempting to top maddox(which i seriously doubt that you will), or other things. I dont think its a very good idea and a complete waste of time, but if you have nothing else better to do, then go for it, but i'll be sticking to my maddox

      Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard

      Obviously not, but it shows how much of a imagination you have if you just go copy it outright.

      Shlumpeet, I'm just joking. I was going to see if Ramu came in and noticed it. I like a couple of songs MJ did, and some of his mini-movies.

      I'm not trying to top Maddox, nobody will ever be as good as him and I won't get close.
