A Writer's Cop Out?

I am watching the Family Guy episode right now where Peter wins the golf game with OJ Simpson and realized how lazy the writer's can be on the show. The part I'm referring to is when they cut to Conway Twitty. They do this multiple times throughout the series and not once did I find it funny or useful. There was no point to it and it goes on for way too long to begin with let alone sometimes it seems even longer. I really do think it's an act of laziness on the writer's part. It's like they thought "Damn I have a brain fart at this moment in the episode let's just cut to some country music poster child. Maybe I'm being critical and yes, I know Family Guy is famous for showing random cultural content in episodes but this one just drives me crazy for some reason. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Am I over analyzing it too much? Please someone let me know!

15 powerful insights from Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five

Image

 

There aren’t many writers who witnessed a 20th century apocalypse at first hand. But of those who have Kurt Vonnegut’s response, Slaughterhouse-Five, is arguably the most memorable. It was published in 1969, twenty-four years after Vonnegut, a 23 year-old American prisoner of war, survived the Allied firebombing of Dresden. This massive air attack, which killed 130,000 people and destroyed a city of no military significance was probably the most important thing, besides getting married and having children, which ever happened to him.

Nifty Chrome Extensions

Nifty Chrome Extensions

With Chrome being the most popular web browser nowadays, it's only right that its extensions get showcased as well. Just like apps, there is an extension for just about everything in Chrome. Some are super nifty and make things totally convenient while others just leave us scratching our heads and wondering "Why???" I mean there should be a line drawn when it comes to how much an app or in this case, an extension is needed. For example, the "IE Tab" that Chrome extensions offers. I mean really!! How lazy can one be that they can't just simply open the IE browser for two minutes to access whatever it is they needed it for in the first place? Does there really need to be a cluttering extension for it? Another one that has me scratching my head is the "MEGA Button." Ummm last I checked, Chrome already has the "MEGA Button" integrated when you click their little three horizontal lines icon in the upper right corner. Once again, to me it just seems to be nothing but clutter. But that's just my opinion. What does everyone else think? Do you have your own opinion when it comes to useful vs. needless extensions? If so, please share below!
