If you don't want to buy it don't buy it. However difficult it may be
for you to believe, your shallow world view is not shared by many
people.

Everybody likes different things, and I don't require everyone to
share my interests. What I can't stand are ignorant self-centered
snobs that think everyone that doesn't share their silly delusions is
an idiot.
