Time to admit our guilty pleasures...

Though I like McDonalds my guiltiest pleasure is the new Hardee's Monster Thick Burger. Two 1/3 lb. patties charbroiled with 3 slices of cheese, 4 strips of bacon, on a buttered sesame seed bun (& I get mustard & pickle in place of the tomato & mayo). 1,420 calories & 107 grams of fat and it's the tastiest burger I have EVER tasted. Had one today driving back from Georgia but as I don't want to have an immediate stroke or heart attack it's a treat I'll only splurge on very rarely.

Excuse me . . . HOW is that a guilty pleasure? As UD's #1 Jack and Meg fan, I'm very hurt . . . : (

I used to be a White Stripes fan, but then Jack beat the crap out of the Von Bondies guy, and now I look at him and think 'You thug'. It is hard to believe that whole "Southern gentlemen" when he beats people up.

Further, now that they have been "discovered" by the mainstream, it is difficult (as a complete musical snob) to like them anymore

Um... because most people hate them. Even one of the funniest movies from Disney(Freaky Friday 2003) bashes them. And like Loomis said, Jack's a thug.

BTW I'M the #1 Jack and Meg fan at UD.

Yeah . . . it's too bad he beat up Jason, that was quite stupid of him. A lot of people feel the same way as you.
Hahaha, you musical snobs . . . in my view, people who stop liking things just because they get 'popular' are just as bad as the people who stop liking things because they're unpopular (ahem . . . JustMyself, that's not a good enough reason for me, sorry . . . and anyway School of Rock, which was funnier than Freaky Friday, liked them!). But that's just me.

And JustMyself . . . I'm definitely the biggest Jack and Meg fan at UD. No question about it. I challenge you to a duel! PM me if you're up for it . . .

P.S. sorry if I seem a bit enraged . . . it gets to me when people diss the Stripes . . .

I didn't say I didn't like them; I still love them. I'm just saying a lot more people hate them than like them. And School of Rock did in fact diss them. In fact, they kinda dissed girls drummers everywhere.

I suppose you're right . . . though where I am it's more like no one knows about them . . .
And in the commentary, Jack Black says "I hope no one thought I was making fun of Meg White . . . in fact, she's one of my favorite drummers" or something like that.

Ok! Guilty pleasures:
Chicken Fingers (of all shapes and sizes, and from all different fast-food venues . . . I just can't get enough of those chicken fingers!)
Skye Sweetnam (Canadian Avril-like singer . . . not my type of music but I still find myself borrowing my sister's CD)
Trashy teen romance novels

First of all I am 28. I just found out a week ago that we are expecting. So my kids' video and dvd collection comes in handy.

Here are my guily pleasures, excluding my Disney classics collection:

1. Care Bears
2. Casper Cartoons
3. Babe movies
4. Winnie the Pooh movies
5. Ewok movie

I also have a stuffed animal collection, which I keep giving some away, and then buying more.

I collect Winnie the Pooh everything. And have Care Bears.

1. Since I got a hometheater, I simply can't watch a movie in other way than 5.1 (that's why most of the time I don't watch movies at night)

2. When there are days when I don't go out, I'd like to be sick or that the weather is rainy so I can't feel guilty for not being outside.

3. My room is always a mess but 97% of the time my DVDs/games are not.

4. Love both animation and horror.

5. I simply adore FREDDY VS JASON.

6. I love The Simpsons. I can watch them again and again without being tired; and as with The Flintstones before it, I have to be eating while watching them (not junk food, but a meal or dinner----- I do that for the most part with the DVDS.

7. When I had cable the only channel I watched was Cartoon Ntework... and if I had it now that'll be the only one I'd watch.

I have no guilty pleasures. I don't feel any guilt from my pleasures

2099net · Post by **2099net** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 2:39 am

I've kept out of this thread until I had proper time to think about a post because I have lots of guilty pleasures. Generally I adore "fantacrap", stuff that is so crap, it's fantastic.

(Such as this: William Shatner "sings" Pulp's Common People WMA - HI | LO Bandwidth.)

Anyhow my list of guilty pleasures includes:

StreetFighter: The Movie which really is quite fun. When you're making a computer game with a plot that can be written on the back of a postage stamp, what do you expect? I really don't understand the hate which is directed at this film.

I adore all things Pokemon especially Jessie & James and Brock, who can all never fail to make me laugh. Contary to popular perception the Gameboy games are actually rather good too - Pokemon deserves the success it once had.

Vic Reeves Big Night Out - this was an off the wall surreal comedy variety show on UK TV in the 1990s. And it was so amaturish, and unslick it had a charm of its own. And it was very, very funny. Why is it not on DVD? Why?

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast - this is hard. Most of the time the show is poor at best. But occassionally and unexpectedly they hit comedy gold! I could quite happily sit through 3-4 of the lesser episodes in order to see one of the great episodes.

I didn't get a chance to read all the posts because I knew I'd forget what I was thinking of, but here goes

:

This had been bothering me for months now and I have to come out and say it. The reason that I hardly post anymore is becuase of this guilty pleasure. I've recenlty become addicted to weed and crystal meth. It's terrible because they're so bad for you and I went through that DARE program in school and I know all the crap it does to my internal organs.

Another guilty pleasure...freaking people out and lying to do it. Also wishing I had a camera in front of the computer screens of all UD members so I can capture the shocked faces! This is where an loling emoticon would go but I didn't put one as it would ruin the joke if people glanced at my post prior to actually reading it. Though its terrible. I always do it, that is tricking people. E.g. I always pretend I'm asleep and then while someone is watching me I go all OOga-Booga BOO on them. It's so much fun but so bad!

Anyhow, my REAL guilty pleasures...

neopets.com - I can't get enough of all the silly games to earn silly neopets to buy silly nonexistent toys, books, food, furniture, etc for my non existent green Kau. His name is Snee_Ooshio.

Like Escapay, little kid books. I always read the Boxcar children books and reread them and borrow them from the library.

Princess Sing-a-long DVD -

I don't even have it and I want it. I'm too chicken to buy it and have to face a cashier who might possibly know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone I know. I really want to see the If You Can Dream music video and have a collection of all the Princess anthems. Gaahhh! Pretend you didn't read that!

I really can't think of anything else.

Note: In case you're still in shock, I really don't do drugs. They're stupid and ruin lives and they're a way of paying money to die, when that money could've been used to buy DVDs or donated to fight disease or save the white tigers (you thought I was gonna say whales, didn't you?).

How could I forget another of my Guilty Pleasures! Most Haunted

I've just this second finished watching the one in the disused Aldwych London Underground station, and it had everything in it that makes Most Haunted such compelling viewing. But this time there was a twist: Yvette was actually pretty brave (although she didn't like the rats) while Pychologist Jason Karl was actually pretty spooked all the way through. Quite amusing. He really did begin to loose it towards the end.

Derek rambled on about nothing for a lot of the time. "Underdwellers" my back foot. The look on Jason's face when Derek was chatting to Yvette about ghostly underdwellers was priceless. I've never seen anybody roll their eyes so much.

The team saw a shape apparently gliding into a tunnel wall, and when they investigated, there was a door there... but it wasn't visible from the angle and distance of the original sighting. And none of the team had been down before hand, so wouldn't know about the door! There were also "orbs" on film down the tunnel.

I also watched the one in Derby Gaol before that. Very interesting. There is film of the trigger object moving several milimeters, even though the room was totally sealed. In addition poor Yvette suddenly felt very sick and became very emotional and cried for no apparent reason. Bless her. Derek and Jason were obviously uncomfortable and tried to carry on, with Yvette sobbing away in the background.

I like to read Meg Cabot's "Princess Diaries" and just about any John Grisahm book. I also like to go to McDonald's for a Mc Flurry with Oreo cookies in it.

I am the proud owner of Batman: The Movie, starring Adam West and Burt Ward. I liked the old TV show when it was on as well.
