Many people have already listed consumerism/advertising/commercialism, and religion. Those are the big ones for me as well.
I hate practically all corporations except for a small few. It's not so much the corporations themselves that I have a problem with, it's the idea of a blindly profit driven system that really bothers me. Modern corporations tend to be willing participants.
I hate nationalism, national identity, identity/labeling in general, the medicalization of every aspect of the human condition/society, and potato salad.
I absolutely loathe facebook, and people who think they know what is best for everyone else.

Is NASCAR really a sport? By the way, I do like to do put put but that's more of a game than a sport. I've always thought of sports being where people compete physically.

You can't cite country music. If country music is not music then it is not music is it not?

I may have played to video games when I was younger, but I wouldn't care for it enough to read magazines and books. In fact, the most recent VG I played was... Er, Baldur's Gates? Age of Empires II?
I must also confess not to be really interested into sport. I only care for the actitivies of a few friends, but that's the end of my limits.
Oh, and TV shows about cooking, decorating, and these obscene French reality-shows which seem to be big hits.

I'd like to think I don't have a reputation for being a big enough ass to criticize someone's consumption preferences, especially responsible ones.
