What separates me from you

If you're good at something good, like good at saving lives, that's good.
Maths: positive multiplied by positive = positive.

If you're bad at something bad, like bad at being rude to people, that's good too.
Maths: negative multiplied by negative = positive.

If you're good at something bad, like good at killing innocent people, or bad at something good, like you're bad at helping people, that's bad.
Maths: negative/positive multiplied by positive/negative = negative.

Who knew maths would be so useful, eh?
Have you ever wondered how rich you would be if you did something useless? For example, wrote scripts for chick flicks.
What intelligence does it require?
None.
Why?
Every plot is so predictable!
Correct me if I'm wrong, I beg of you, because from what I've seen (I'm a fan of chick flicks which means I've seen a LOT), the story seems to be so consistent.
Girl (pretty in the girl-next-door way but a misfit of the group she will be thrown into) goes into a new situation, meets evil-pretty new girls (to avoid misinterpretation, I shall name them Biatches) who suck the life out of people yet the ground they walk on is miraculously worshiped by the majority. Girl meets handsome, charming guy who is most probably the IT guy of the community she has been introduced to. Girl is targeted by the leader of the Biatches who intentionally makes the other minion-Biatches misunderstand and subsequently "disown" girl. Girl meets new dorks/nerds (Rejects) and realizes inner beauty is more important. Girl starts a campaign against the evil regime of the Biatches and enlightens the previously foolish majority who have been living in the dark age. During campaign, Biatch leader pulls a trick to cause the Rejects group to misunderstand girl and leave her, albeit temporarily. Girl is also made to misunderstand Prince Charming by Biatch leader and breaks up/avoids him. Rejects group SOMEHOW realizes their mistake for not sticking by girl and goes back to her side and finally, the campaign to oust the evil regime is won! In most cases, minion-Biatches realized they have been tricked by the leader Biatch and rejects her from the group to turn to the path of good and holiness. Girl SOMEHOW finds out she was mistaken about Prince Charming and the two live happily ever after.
Or at least until the end of the flick.
According to this rule, all I need is to think of two sets of names, one that screams Rejects and another that screams the opposite. Of course the girl and Prince Charming's name will be in the "opposite" group because they have to be accepted by the majority at the very start of the flick. After that, I will proceed on thinking of a setting (college, high school, fashion world) and voila~ my job is done!
Can you imagine how much those script writers earn by just following a set of conditions that takes an IQ level of 20 to comprehend?
All the while, we're rotting and pondering over how we'll deal with bankruptcy after we go against our rational judgment to buy the prettiest clutch (for this season) in the world.

Whoever said all men are born equal is an ignoramus for two obvious reasons.
One, he should have used the politically correct and gender-unbiased term of "humans".
Two, if we were born equal then why is Nicole Kidman so hot, Keira Knightley so sexy and Britney Spears so freaking rich for doing exactly what I'm doing and have done?
In case you're wondering what I've been so diligently doing all this while, it's NOTHING.
Nothing at all.
