...of all time. Ech.

[Angcuru]

Is anyone else sick of all these shows and lists claiming to be "something" of "ALL TIME"?

Top ten Actors of All Time!
Greatest book of All Time!
Top 100 Music Videos of All Time!

Just the other day I saw an advertisement for "The Best 80's songs of All Time." Now, is it just me, or does this make no sense whatsoever? The only 80's songs ever written were done in the 80's, so how does 'all time' enter into this?

Personally, I think the "of All Time" awards should be handed out when time is over and universe has gone kerblooie. But still, even then they'll be more moronic than eight hippies dancing naked in a circle to protest meat.

Frankly, Angcuru, this is the best rant of all times.



(In addition, all Enworld threads based on "best or worst xxxx ever" are really useful to increase postcounts without having anything meaningful to say)

They must have been referring to all 80s decades - the 1980s, 1880s, 1780s and so on. Maybe the 2080s and other future decades too, if the makers have access to a time machine.

It is an opinion, and it brings viewers. So, I could care less but then I somehow find a way to not watch the shows.

Wow. Major rant. For a minute, I thought I had mis-clicked and wondered when RPGNet had stolen ENWorld's look.

...Then I realized that there wasn't enough substitution of Profanity for actual thought or vocabulary, and felt better...
