Irritations

Two things that irritate me:

• I recently saw a television commercial for a CD called "Kidz Bop7," apparently the seventh installment in a series of CDs that feature children singing cover versions of the most current pop/rock/rap songs. That encapsulates just about everything that is warped about American culture.
  
  
• The other day, I received in the mail an envelope that was labeled, "Important Tax Return Document Enclosed." Inside was a form that was obviously designed to look like a W-2 form, except that it was labeled "W-007." What was it? A notice that I was "pre-approved" for a car loan. I filed a complaint with the FTC.
