It's about shame.  The sentiment, not the song.  Other people's success makes us ashamed of our own failures or inadequacies.  Then shame turns to anger and anger turns to hate.

Watch "Burning Love."  The spoof on "The Bachelor" with Ken Marino.  She plays one of the bachelorettes and her gimmick is that she's naked the whole time from the bottom down.  It's pixelated (and I'm assuming a prop), but it sure does looks like she's naked with a slightly pixelated vag the whole time.  
The show is…

Excellent point, @avclub-9c75bab0f5d964591655e73e7c22c540:disqus .  I'm too worried about the decline of reading in general to start casting aspersions on people who want to read teen-lit.  Also, people find different rewards in different things. 
Some people listen to jazz or even prog music for a rewarding experience…

I'd be careful about generalities, @avclub-863dd9b05b1b8bf20726dc15995aec28:disqus .  You'd be surprised, and will continue to be if you go through life like that. When you take the time to get to know people, you'll usually uncover a lot of layers. And good call on Michael…

I agree, E.Buzz.  
I loved Infinite Jest (you'll notice my user name), and I agree that it was a very rewarding experience, but I don't need that in every book.  I think it's too bad that many people aren't willing to take on books like this as part of their reading experience, but there's nothing wrong with mixing it…

CGEM is actually really good live.  And it helps if you're stoned.

I agree with this guy.  I've said many times that we'd be a lot better off without all those weirdos in Austin, the Latinos in Florida, and those uncouth philistines down in Atlanta.

That's true.  I also have the right to listen to Adam Carolla.

Untrue.  It warms my soul. :)  
Sorry it offends your cultured sensibilities, counselor.  I'd invite you to move right on past my posts in the future, if I thought you could resist those sweet, sugary empty calories that judgement provides.
