Irked: Remote controls

So far, I'm relatively certain that if someone said to me that I could choose one thing to remove from the world permanently, I would choose hiccups. I don't like them, and can't see any huge ramifications to their destruction.

The thing annoying me right now is Remote Controls. People's desire to make their lives "easier" at all costs is getting bloody ridiculous. Are you seriously telling me that as part of the same species as the man who united the Mongol tribes and fought among them against the Chinese empire we cannot cross the fucking room to change channel? That being said, if I was in a TV showroom and had the final choice between an ugly TV where I had to walk across the room (or, at my current set-up, move my arm slightly) and a television with a neat no-buttons interface, which would be reduced to nothing more than a heavy, expensive, delicate waste of space whenever the remote was mislayed, ran out of battery or broke, I think I would probably choose the one which isn't designed for fucktards. I didn't really hate remote controls while TVs still had all of the buttons in place; it wasn't until you became TOTALLY DEPENDANT on them they began to annoy a considerably increased portion of the hell out of me. I mean, I never liked people flicking through the channels during advert breaks. It's firstly, more annoying than the adverts, and secondly, ungrateful. The people who are PAYING for your televisual pleasure want nothing more from you than a few minutes of attention. Personally, I would rather spend a tenth of my TV time watching shit I don't care about than fork out more cash for it. If people continue t not watch adverts, they will disappear. That's why I set Adblock to apathy on all sites that don't accost me with viral pop-ups. If it weren't for adverts I would have to pay for a whole lot of things I'm quite happy to get for free. Like Google. Do you want to pay per search Google?

I was going to rant about atheists, but someone beat me to it. I'll rant about atheists when the atheist I was going to rant about fails to redeem himself.
