::Inappropriate Use Of The "Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuuuuuuuun" Noise::

I was gonna save #9 for "The Media", but I've been coming across this problem ALOT recently and its too big of a rant to make it part of my 10th rant (top 10 mini rants), so i might as well get it out of the way now.

First of all, dont fuckin laugh, cause yes... this noise scares the holy FUCK out of me. And don't try to pretend that I'm the only crazy person and that no one else has certain "noises" that they can't listen to or hear cause it freaks them out as well. Let me describe it this way... everytime I hear that noise, i can actually FEEL a year of my life being depleted from my body. it's one of those scary feelings that feels like your own soul is coming out of your body, trying to hide and run far away to a safe place. It's the same equivalent feeling I get whenever someone mentions the movies "The Ring" or "The Grudge"... those fuckin long haired, SCARY eyed Asian ghosts haunt my brain to this day. In fact, they are the reason why I hate the dark more than I ever did. So you can imagine how SHOT my nerves are gonna be at the end of the night when not only do i have asian spirits haunting my brain, but then that fuckin noise appears right before I have to go to bed. Luckily that sound is also one of those sounds that my brain can easily forget about, even when for some fucked up reason it wants to bring it up again, it can't really get the right key. It's like when women get pregnant, something happens inside their brain that makes them forget about child birth pain... VERY useful function. But just to make sure that it doesnt come back to fuck with me while im TRYING to sleep, im currently listening to some smooth techno music so that i can drown that sound.

To fully understand why it bothers me so much, you have to go back in time to the 90's when i was like around 6 or 7, and Ren & Stimpy was the new show on Nickelodeon. I was watching the episode where Ren gets sick so Stimpy takes care of him, and near the end of the bath scene they played that fuckin noise when it showed the people lookin through the window. My skin turned white as a fuckin sheet. It was the worst experience I have ever been through as a kid. Now, I'm sure you all had shit you were afraid of as a kid, and eventually you got over them, except for like one or two things that you STILL can't seem to shake off and prolly never will even when your old and gray. This is why the term "WORST FREAR(S)" was created. And yes, alot of people can face their fears, but some can't, and that doesn't make them weak or pussies, everyone is different, we all cant like or not like the same things. I know a person that can't be anywhere near dolls or she has panic attacks because she saw one too many "Chucky" movies and now she too is mentally scard for life, just like i am.

So I know right now your like "ok, thanx for sharing that your weird and hate that noise, but how is that 'inappropriate'?", well if you haven't noticed, it's being used WAY too fuckin much on tv and internet videos (mostly flashes like the ones on newgrounds). To me, a sound with THAT much of an impact should only... ONLY be used in EXTREME circumstances. For example, take the Spongebob episode where he forgets how to tie his shoes, asks Mr. Crabs for help, only to look at his feet and realize he isnt wearing any shoes. That is an "Inappropriate Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuuun Moment". Everyone fuckin knows that he never wears shoes, in fact, the only time I've actually seen him in footwear was when he went Clam Fishing and the big one ate his millionth dollar bill. But yea, out of all the other suspenseful and somewhat eerie sound effects that have been made over the years, why does THIS one have to be whored out the most? It was at one time used all the time on NBC commercials for their zitcoms, and I even unfortunately stumbled upon it on a kids show on PBS... I kid you not. This show called "Zoom", had a sketch of idk kids talkin in a made up language, then one boy says somethin funny then uh-oh... suprised looks from the other kids facing the camera and yes, you guessed it... the Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuun noise. Its amazing the shit I can remember about my past. But you'd think that for a KID'S SHOW, they would use some more "pleasant to younger ears" sounds instead. But the worst offender I've come across is when i got "Family Guy: The Video Game" as a z-mas gift some years ago for the PS2. Everytime you die, that noise plays. WHY?!?! It's not necessary AT ALL. Get rid of it for something else. C'mon people, wtf?!??!

Ok I think I'm good now, but my sanity and nerves are a different story. I'll save the media rant for #11. In the meantime, be sure to check back for Rant #10.
