I agree…I actually like Jack’s White Stripes stuff more than the Raconteurs. The Racs sound like every other band out there…at least the White Stripes try different stuff.
I’d also second Ben and Jerry’s being overrated. That’s a major ripoff for such a small container of ice cream. It’s great that they give a lot to good causes but ug…what a rip.
And I’d have to say that cigarettes are overrated. I used to smoke for years and eventually quit. Not because of cost or because of the health thing (I still ruin my lungs with weed) but because…well…cigarettes don’t DO anything. You get that two-second rush when you have your first smoke of the night and that’s IT. They don’t get you trashed like alcohol and they don’t get you high like weed. They’re just lame and the only reason people smoke them is because they’re addicted. I say to each their own since I know it’s a major bitch to quit them, but they’re overrated.
I’d gotta second Ben Stiller. I avoid movies in which he’s involved in them at all. Just can’t stand the guy. He only plays two characters anyway…there’s “intense Ben Stiller” or “awkward, nervous Ben Stiller” and both characters are annoying.
And on the sports angle, the following things are overrated: Emmitt Smith, Cal Ripkin Jr, Derek Jeter, Willis Reed walking out before game 7 of the 1970 Finals (he shot two buckets and then sat out the rest of the game), the immaculate reception (Steelers lost the next game), The “Giants Win the Pennant!” home run (the Giants lost the World Series), that basket catch by Willie Mayes (we’ve seen hundreds of guys do that) and Kirk Gibson’s Dodgers home run (it was Game 1 and they swept the Giants anyway).
