BP. It’s so hot right now. But I, unlike the rest of the world, am not going to be complaining about the BP gas station. Instead, I am going to write this very brief expose on why Shell gas station is very annoying.

            It’s not the gas station itself, because that’s just like any other type of gas station (except for the fact that it didn’t cause a gigantic oil spill). Instead, it’s the fact that the sign is just one, big, yellow shell. AND WE’RE JUST SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THIS IS THE NAME OF THE GAS STATION.

            Honestly, not all of us are talented in basic Pictionary. Some of us need actual words to figure out what the hell you’re calling yourself because using a weird picture or logo is entirely kindergarten, third grade at the very maximum. And even that is pushing it. Besides, anyone who knows what’s annoying and what’s not knows that advertising in general is annoying, but that’s not the point.

            Yes, I realize that somewhere on the sign, it does tell you that this gas station is called Shell. But it doesn’t mean that it says it on everything, which it should. It’s not even like the word SHELL is obviously printed on the sign, anyway. They seriously expect us to pick up on the name by looking at a picture.

            For once in their lives, those who work behind the creepy Shell gas station counter and modern artists would get along. They, for whatever reason, all believe that a picture is enough to make sense to the remainder of the population. But it’s not enough. In fact, it’s not even close to enough. Assumptions by anyone are just completely annoying!

            I say we all boycott Shell and start going to some place that doesn’t use an irritating picture to stand for its name. Maybe then they’ll realize to stop guessing that we’re all stupid and ditch the dumb-ass logo. It would make the world less annoying.

            *GASP* Maybe if the world was less annoying, people would be less stressed about everything! And then the gas prices would decrease! In effect, the entire American economy may improve!

            But it doesn’t.

            See, Shell gas station?

            It’s all your fault our country sucks.
