What REALLY grinds your gears?

This isn't that high on the scale of "grinding gears" but I don't want to start a new thread for this. What is it with companies over-promising and under-delivering? Case in point "Prime Day." I would probably be more pissed if I paid 100 for a subscription only to see the weak sales but I was definitely expecting more from a company usually known for quality, especially since it was saying it would be bigger than Black Friday.

Love Kelly but he's not the first one to fight cancer. I'd say they're both courageous in their own ways.


No he certainly isnt and yes they are but as Hog pointed out the Jenner thing just smells like a kardashianesque money grab and the same can be said for ESPN and ratings. For the first time in my life I whole heartedly agree with Bob Kostas. God that hurt to say.

But really Jim Kelly is an inspiration to fight cancer as believe me I have had way too many family members, loved ones fight it. One aunt succumbed to it two years ago.

Jenner had plenty of $ before all this. Calling it a money grab is a little insulting.

Im not sure what you mean by insulting. I certainly could care less who wants to wear what, or whether someone is trans, strait, gay, bi, or whatever. I think everybody deserves to be happy and i hope that Jenner helps alot of people by coming out. Just not sure that when you take the publicity /money/ into account that I consider her so "courageous ".
What is insulting is that ESPN or ABC expect me to believe that they are more moved by Jenners story than the countless other courageous stories out there and that this has nothing to do with ratings or money. Last time i checked the network had plenty of money before this just like Jenner.

If you want to see courage......walk through the Cancer ward at any children's hospital.
We throw around words like courage and hero way to freely in this country.

well we are talking about the most self exploitive family in the country over the last 10 years maybe all time, unfortunately its in the conversation. To say they are not extemely calculating is naive. Im generally sick of everything kardashian, so Ill hate the family while not hating the cause of which they standing for. I support the equality Cait is seeking, but i really dont know how geniune it really is.

I just find it hard to believe it's all an act or just a money grab. There's many easier ways to seek attention or money.

It isnt an act. Lol. I mean obviously jenner is for real. It is just that the attention/ratings/money aspect is completely intertwined with all of it. The timing is perfect. Read the article i linked a few posts ago. What could be easier and more convenient for all networks and parties involved than to give Jenner the award last nite?
