[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1681713, member: 17843"] I'm annoyed how the current culture has an exaggerated enthusiasm for everything these days. For example, I grew up in a time when people's personalities were a little more laid back. When I was a student, my principals walked around like Clint Eastwood. If they were standing out front in the mornings, they weren't necessarily greeting students, but just looking serious and making sure things were in order. Today, when my principal comes on the intercom for updates, it sounds like he just won the lottery, even though he's just giving morning announcements. And brace yourself if there is an activity he has to announce. If they are giving away a new pencil to students, it's the greatest thing since the moon landing! Let's all get excited about a new #2 pencil; and this is high school. I notice this on tv too. I recently saw Burt Reynolds on an old clip from Johnny Carson. When he was introduced, he came out barely moving, and Carson commented on what a cool entrance he made. Today, when someone is introduced on a talk show, they have to come out dancing and flopping around like they just won a billion dollars. Those are a couple of examples, and I see it in everyday life frequently. Somebody is always asking if you're excited about something that we wouldn't have used the word "excited" to describe when I was younger. I think this comedian is spot on.
