While grocery shopping today, my wife and I saw a teenager, maybe 16 years old, playing air guitar while his mom was getting deli meat. But then we realized something. He wasn’t playing air guitar. He was playing air guitar hero. His fingers were moving as if they were pressing buttons and his other hand was frantically using an imaginary strum bar.
What the fuck is going on? Playing air guitar hero is like standing in line and pretending to play Halo on your 360 controller. It made me think. Is there some disconnect between the guitar and the game guitar hero? Are kids not sure what an actual guitarist looks like when he/she is playing guitar? If not, that’s sad. And really, playing air guitar OR air guitar hero ain’t going to get you nothing but funny looks. And if you hope to ever get laid, you better keep the fake playing of a video-game controller to your bedroom.

“And if you hope to ever get laid, you better keep the fake playing of a video-game controller to your bedroom”. LOL, that’s very true
Have a great week,

It makes about as much sense as fantasizing about masturbation…

Well said.

I hope it was clear that I thought fantasizing about masturbation was a GREAT idea. Don’t want there to be any confusion; masturbation is AWESOME! Totally worth dreaming about 24/7!

Shouldn’t you be fantasizing about sex and masturbating rather than thinking about masturbating and not doing it? You’re all kinds of backwards.

kids are all KINDS of fucked up these days… i’m purchasing a beginner’s guitar myself just to stay out of this grossly ill-informed demographic: a fender stratocaster… just for a hobby. i don’t care if i suck at it… it’s for catharsis… and it’s way better than learning the air moves of a fucking video game controller… pathetic. i hope that kid enjoys his acne and his right hand on his little prick and his horrible small town… i hate that fucking town… i think honestape and jules should move to chicago… you guys are too cool for that fucking aweful place… fuck that place… i hate it… just listen to kanye west’s “homecoming” and you’ll want to move here with me… come on, dude; it’s still on lake michigan, but it’s MUCH cooler than that fuckin’ aweful place… still on the lake, but much cooler… you know you want to…
