Underrated: Marketing

Example - Tim Horton's Breakfast Sandwich.

Nothing fabulous about this sandwich, but Tim Horton's points to the breakfast sandwich as the source for increased revenues (over 15%). http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2007/0...imhortons.html

"I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is in regular rotation on Fuel. So is Ray LaMontagne.

I disagree, I work 10-12 hours 14 days straight, then get 14 days off, I'd say that's worth it.

underrated: books, there is something satisfying about a good read.

overrated: rap music, now i like a good beat, but some of the crap they are pushing out makes me want to puke.

Overrated:
Family Guy - The show has devolved to the equivalent of a group of friends making stupid jokes.

South Park - Brilliant but self-righteous and preachy. Basically, the writing gets on my nerves a lot. So I'm not putting it in the same class as Not the same class as the Simpsons, Arrested Development

Italian food - Never liked it really. Don't get the big deal.

Electric shavers - Don't like them.

Pancakes - I finish one and feel like puking.

Hats - So uncomfortable.
Underrated:

Doing nothing - It's relaxing to not do anything or have any plans once in a while.

Chocolate Milk - Very tasty and not that bad for you.

Conversation - Probably the most fun you can have with someone is through conversation.

Oh My Gosh, I love Robot Chicken, I think it's absolutely hilarious.

I never hear much about it, and anyone I asked hasn't seen it. I was wondering if anyone on CP watched.

Oh yeah, definitely agree with you there. It's when people work those types of hours, but aren't compensated for it with days off like you are.

I will agree with that for all the new "rap music" that has been released in the past year.

That should be good, I didn't hear about it, I will keep an eye out for that.
I love the episode with the Dragon Ball Z guy, and the spoof of Drum Line, and the Santa.
