Ok, So Negative, please!

Today, I was listening to a podcast (don't worry, it's not yours....or yours.....no, not yours, either) and couldn't help but think EVERY thing the podcaster said was negative, whether talking to his/her cohost or about life in general.) It was so depressing/frustrating, I had to actually take breaks from listening to this show and listen to other stuff from time to time to get through this ONE episode. By the time I finally finished with said episode, I decided that it was time to say goodbye to the show and I, as Big Fatty says, "unsubscribed!"

Then I got home and turned on the Mac. I tend to go to a group of blogs with a pretty regular frequency (as many of us do) and after spending about five minutes at dlisted.com, I pretty much said, "No MORE!" I've talked about dlisted before on the blog, but today kinda did it for me - the whole "no-no zone, peen, pussy lips, magic unicorn horn, gayelle, memaw, chicken cutlets, empress of lucite, rojo caliente" etc (those of you who go to dlisted know what I mean) every single post is getting old. And as we prepare to go deeper into the mud as a nation with this whole Tiger Woods things (which, let's face it, I could SO not give two shits about), I can't help but think, "I have SO many other more important things I could be doing with my life right now." So, again, I deleted it from my fave places and took it off my RSS feed.

I am aware of the irony of complaining about negative blogs and posts by blogging a negative post, but I feel that we here at Pod Is My Copilot have a generally positive show and blog, and when we do talk about something negative, we try and put a positive spin on things and not just bitch for the sake of bitching. I like to think of our bitching as, well, productive in some way. The role of a podcast (especially one that calls itself a comedy podcast) is to entertain - not bring people down and make them feel worse then they did when they started listening. Am I wrong? Is ignorance bliss?
