Horrorscopes

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Everyday, about half way through the Q Morning Show, Mel checks her horoscope.

EVERYDAY. Like clockwork.

Now, if she did it in silence, that would be okay. But anyone who knows Mel, knows she doesn’t do anything in silence. So she reads me HER lame horoscope, and I have to pretend I care. Then, she reads me MY horoscope. Again, I don’t care.

Truth is, my opinion on horoscopes is simple, they’re total BS. To think that we can predict what’s going to happen in our lives today based on when we were born is ridiculous. Not to mention that “Melissa’s horoscope” is the same horoscope that everyone born in the same 1 month span is reading.

The argument from some avid horoscope readers is always this: “But sometimes it totally comes true!” Sure it does, because it’s so general, sometimes it’s gonna “come true”. An example of a lame horoscope: “Today you feel tired, but don’t let it show, something good is about to happen.” Of course you’re tired, it’s Monday. And just because you didn’t hit a red light this morning doesn’t mean your lame prediction came true.

Horoscopes are dumb, keep ‘em to yourself Mel.
