| Primetime Just what is this much-touted event whose name is reminiscent of one of the major broadcasting station’s most boring programs? It is, of course, the supposed second most entertaining event of a senior’s (not old person) school year. It has been hyped almost the whole year, and we all know how well things that promoted profusely usually fare. And that is just what is up for discussion today. Similar to the PS2 launch, primetime was an awful disappointment, not that I expected more from a bunch of high school students and an extremely overzealous faculty. The first let down came as I entered the door. I was promised that the complex would completely unrecognizable from within but that was apparently a lie. Not only did I recognize the interior but also the things that were placed on the walls were rather ugly. Horrid, horrid artwork was a staple throughout, I mean, what the Hell happened to all the art students. It seemed to also be poorly planned (much like this article). We were left with nothing to do. I had to sit and listen to karaoke for hours on end. There were other things going on like the dunking booth, which involved no dunking and was comprised of a toddler pool, a hose and a toilet seat. What kind of cheap crap is that? Also, Lauricella didn’t participate i.e. she didn’t get “dunked”, which I assume would have been quite the sight, at least for certain smitten young men anyway. Then came the breakfast portion of the evening, which, of course, I did not stick around for since I was rather tired. I do hear the food really sucked though. And they gave out prizes, sucky ones. With all that, how could the night have not been a disappointment? Well, I heard that one year they had video games there. That would be cool. I would’ve brought my PS2, I would of let virtually no one play, but I would’ve brought it. Or, we could’ve started a game of D&D, which lasts for hours and is a hell of a lot of fun. Hell, we could’ve had a LAN party; the computers were right there, man. It seems as though I have little to say about this miserable semblance of entertainment, which is the case. The fact is that there is nothing to say. Most people, in my not so humble opinion, disliked primetime. It was ill conceived, poorly planned and hideously executed. I would have had more fun at home. And if you did like primetime and think I’m wrong, maybe I didn’t like it because it reminded of how pathetic I am. Or maybe you’re just an idiot. I personally would side with the latter. |
