There are some massivily ignorant people out there. At one point in history, this was merely assumed. Now, thanks to the wonder that is the internet, we all know that fact to be depressingly true.
But now, thanks to a certain blog, we now have collected in one place the retarded opinions of those ignoramuses that plague our everyday existence. At Can’t Please Everyone, the author gathers together the reviews of music, film and literature from Amazon. Not just any reviews, but reviews of the kind of music, film and literature that is generally regarded as ‘great’. These reviews have all given these pieces of greatness a 1 Star rating. So, not everybody likes Citizen Kane. That’s not so retarded, you say.
What about this review of Are You Experienced (The Jimi Hendrix Experience):
Words cannot describe my intense dislike for Jimi’s guitar “skills”. This guy is a HACK. All songs sound exactly the same, the drummer is weak, does the bassist even exist? Listen to some REAL music that actually requires talent- like Nickelback!

Favourite so far is “They’ve never even been on MTV, which is an automatic fail!”
The best one I saw was a comment on how rubbish Ian Curtis was for copying Sam Riley so badly in Control and how ‘he should know better than to try and copy such an amazing and talented actor’. Derrrrrrr!
I was with the author on that one. right up until ‘nickelback’
Didn’t Jimi steal that song from Tia Carrera anyway? She can clearly be heard playing it in ‘Wayne’s World’…
