“This very website is based entirely around the concept of no longer liking something.<\/strong> When you don\u2019t like something that other people do like, you naturally wonder why<\/strong> that is. My entire purpose here is to make a passionate and convincing argument with which you can side (or assail), make it funny, and if at all possible, make it a cartoon. To go against this unstated mission would betray my loyal readers and myself. Koo koo gajoob.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
