Guilty Pleasures
July 13, 2011
Our world is always evolving and people are always changing.
So i decided to take a stab at the popular guilty pleasures of our day.
It can be anything from what we wear to what we do to what we see, stuff that entertains us or that we take for granted.
Webster’s Dictionary defines “guilty pleasure” as, something pleasurable that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt. That is very true, but guilty pleasures is a phrase we toss around these days referring to almost anything.
My definition of “guilty pleasure” is, something that brings you happiness more than any normal everyday thing.
1. Justin Beiber
2. Starbucks
3. iTunes
4. Credit cards
5. Gay rights
6. Harry Potter
7. Facebook
8. iPad
9. Lady Gaga
10. Twilight
I used a lot of different resources to make my top 10 list: google trends, zeitgeist, imdb, twitter, facebooks, and my own opinion. Some of these things just shock me, but I see and hear it everywhere. Like Twilight and Justin Beiber. They are young and annoying and and Twilight just lacks quality acting. Justin Bieber is talented, but he is a sixteen year old kid, and he’s taking summer getaways with his seventeen year old girlfriend. I know my parents would never let me do that when I was sixteen. Now I can agree with Starbucks and the iPad. They just keep getting more and more popular. Who doesn’t love a great cup of coffee? They can charge me whatever and I will still buy their drinks; and look at all the apple products. All everyone is trying to do is copy them. The other ones are quite obvious, Lady Gaga has talent, weird most of the time, but talented. Credit cards are always going to be popular, especially in our economic crisis. Facebook, it’s like everyone has one now. And gay rights, it just continues to be the top political issue amongst political parties everywhere.
Well this is just my opinion and and ideas but feel free to speak your mind. I’m all ears on this stuff. But truth is the world like hearing and talking about these things. It’s what keeps the world spinning round. #truth
