I Really Wish That...that the GREs weren't necessary

Because, really, they're kind of insulting to undergraduate programs everywhere. The fact that the GREs exist and that most grad school hopefuls have to take them prior to applying is a slap in the face. It's saying "You may have a college degree, but we're willing to bet that you weren't taught a whole lot. In fact, you're probably so ignorant that you shouldn't be admitted to graduate school. Yet."
Well, GRE's, you're right. I WASN'T taught a whole lot....about HIGHER MATH. That's because I studied film, art history, art, and literature, and would like to continue in that same math-free path.
I'm willing to bet that pretty much no one would do well on the GREs if they took them right after graduating with a bachelor's degree. They might do great in one section, but that's it. That's why they have study books: to teach you what you apparently should have learned over the last four years.
I will grudgingly admit, however, that studying for the GREs is exposing me to new vocabulary, which I can and will use for the rest of my life.
Rant is now over.

I Really Wish That...cleaning product commercials had more men

Because this is not the 1950's and men do housework too now. No, not all men everywhere, but a lot. Enough that commercials for detergent, swiffers, dishsoap, etc. should man up and showcase the hairier sex more often. Commercials that show both sexes are making progress, but I just saw one for paper towels that shows the silly, incompetent man making a silly mess with his coffee maker, and his smooth, all-knowing wife reaching for paper towels to clean up the mess. Because a man couldn't possibly know how to clean it up on his own! (Ruffles the hair of men everywhere.) Poor guys!
