World War 2 

Why you annoy me:

• You have single handedly ruined the History Channel by being easily the most played topic on there.  Every other damn show is about Hitler or D-Day, all of which amount to rendering the network un-viewable.
• You are the domain of armchair historians.  Half-wit, semi-educated men watch 3 shows on WW2 and then read a horrible Stephan Ambrose book and believe themselves to be “history buffs.”  This is annoying because you believe your opinions have merit when they do not.  For instance, memorizing the caliber of the main gun of every battle tank used in the war does not make you an historian; it just makes you a fountain of irrelevant trivia.
• Thanks to you I have to hear about the Holocaust and Nazis constantly in the media and those topics are rammed down our throats in school.  Yes, killing 6 million Jews/Gypsies/Gays/Catholics was really bad, but so were how many millions of Native Americans killed by Europeans since 1492.  Why do we have to constantly be bombarded with Holocaust stuff when much bigger tragedies occurred in our own backyards?  Thanks.
• People who lived through that time are now annoyingly considered “The Greatest Generation.”  Bitch please; they aren’t even the greatest American generation.  Where was the equivalent of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Madison, Jay and Franklin in the so called “Greatest Generation”?  Conspicuously absent are any decent analogous men.  These neglect foreign generations that were far more gifted.  I’d say the generation that contained Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael was a smidge more gifted than the “Greatest.”  Let’s not forget the Roman generation that contained Julius Caesar, Pompey, Cleopatra, Marc Antony, Cicero, Augustus, Crassus, and Vercingetorix to name only a few.  Find me the politician from the 1940’s generation who is/was the equal of Cicero and I’ll eat my hat.
• You caused the creation of the state of Israel, which is now the source of the world’s most important geo-political problems.

 Possible mitigating factors:

• You finally brought Western Europe into modern times.  No longer are the countries there a bunch of squabbling children who get into sanguineous wars every generation over tiny border disputes.
• You eliminated Great Britain and France as major world powers.  Thank God, they were annoying.
• You are the basis of some pretty decent movies and video games.
• Your “buffs” are SIGNIFICANTLY less annoying than Civil War Buffs.  Civil War Buffs, incidentally, are the scum of the history world.
• Eventually your popularity will dwindle as your partisans die off and the History Channel will become the Vietnam War Channel, which will in its own way be more annoying.
