Broken 2000:
100 Reasons Why We Still Suck
Written by: Alex Sandell

I've been suffering from some serious 1900's post-partum depression, as of late. I know 2000 is just another insignificant number, but the general public keeps telling me that it should mean something. All the politicians keep telling me what a great state the world is in, on the brink of this new millennium. All the marketers keep telling me I should celebrate by buying a Chevy truck to take through the drive-thru at DQ to celebrate the "MEALennium." Yet, even after watching all of the 30 second television spots and gulping down two .99 cent hot fudge sundaes, I still find myself focusing on all the SHIT we're bringing with us as we enter a new century. So, in the typical upbeat Juicy Cerebellum fashion you've all grown so accustomed to, I want to leave the 1900's behind by pointing out all of the things we're still doing wrong, even as we enter the 21st century.

Thing Number 1: We're still racist.
2: We're still homophobic.
3: We still don't understand that homophobia and racism are the same thing.
4: We're still self-centered little bastards.
5: We still think of our petty race as "heroic," every time we watch, "It's a Wonderful Life."
6: Jay Leno still isn't funny.
7: We still lie to our children about fictional characters such as Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and God.
8: The spirit of Christmas is still being mass-produced by Hallmark.
9: There are still Republicans.
10: Republicans are still deluding themselves just as badly as they ever have.
11: There's still no socialized medicine.
12: There are still people wasting all their time on stopping the SPAM inside of their emailbox rather than concentrating on the millions of problems outside of their house.
13: There still hasn't been a movie as good as Star Wars.
14: People are still lying when they say they don't care about looks.
15: My ex still hasn't figured out the meaning of the word "forever" and is still busy freezing her ass off up in Sweden, half a world away from me.
16: We still haven't bombed Sweden.
17: I still have feelings for my ex; even though I wouldn't mind America using her entire country as a nuclear bomb testing facility.
18: People still hate whatever they don't understand.
19: People still don't understand me.
20: My butt is still hairy.
21: People are still having babies at a rate that will prove disastrous to the world that they live in.
22: We're still polluting, without a second thought to the consequences.
23: Chatrooms are still filled with idiots.
24: Idiots still intrigue me.
25: I'm still getting hatemail from a lot of idiots.

38: We'll still be there at this time next year.
39: I still say that's a pretty damn long wake.
40: The NRA is still claiming that guns don't kill people; people do.
41: That's still the lamest excuse I've heard since, "I wasn't poking holes in the condom, I was sewing it up."
42: There's still 5 times more people that have promised to contribute to "The Juicy Cerebellum" than have actually contributed. Please send all cash, checks and money orders to Alex Sandell @ PO BOX 331, ALEXANDRIA MN, 56308. Thanks. (See thing # 31.)
43: The rich are still getting richer, and the poor are still staying poor.
44: Capitalism still sucks.
45: Corporations are still getting away with murder, while the little guy can't get away with ripping off a candy bar from a corporation.
46: People are still going to accuse me of being a "commie" because I believe that 80% of the nation's economy shouldn't be going to the upper 20% of people, most of whom have been born into their riches, when the bottom 10% is going hungry or living off stamps. "The Sperm Lotto"

53: McDonald's still isn't unionized.
54: Unions are still frowned upon by people who haven't worked for a union.

57: "The Smurfs" still haven't made a comeback.

88: I still haven't been able to find "McCondoms" in the McDonald's bathrooms, and some of those McCashiers are pretty McSexy.
89: We're still eating too much red-meat, and cow farts are still screwing up the environment.

95: Number 94 still doesn't fit in with the theme of this update, very well.
96: Most people still don't have the "chiller" font, and this update will look like shit to them.
