Room for One More?

.....because, ya know, there's STILL TIME FOR ANOTHER BEST of 2010.

I'm sorry, it just gets on my nerves.

All these "Ten Best of 2010" dealies.

You can't look at ANYTHING without there being some Retrospective Ten Best list, or "TheYear in Review", or The Best of 2010!" someplace on it.

Go look at T*me, Gizm*do,"Pe*ple,L*fe, ZDn*t, etc. etc. from this past week,(or, in many cases, MONTH), and you'll find at least one of these articles.

In at least one case, it was done twice....and you know what?

The 2 separate articles disagreed as to exactly WHICH events,(of 2010, don't forget that), were among the TEN BEST.

I, for one, find this whole thing intensely irritating.

First of all, Why is it always TEN?

I mean.

Why not Eleven?

What if there weren't Ten events that were really all that great,( and deserving of a special block on the front page), what if only Eight or Nine things were truly noteworthy during the year?

Then there's the part where it's all opinion-driven anyway.

Which explains why different periodicals have different lists....Rocket-Science, eh?

Or how about the part where people should really be able to figure this out for themselves?

I certainly know what I think the Top Events for 2010 were...and I am not entirely sure that there were exactly Ten of them, nor do I discount that yet another BEST Event could still happen inside the Year 2010.

There are still 14 hours and 22 minutes* remaining, people!

A Satanist Cult still has time to set fire to some cow in Nebraska!

So don't believe it, it's just HYPE, think for yourself.

*Which depends entirely upon which Time Zone you are in. For instance, it's a done deal in Japan....
