To sit and think about myself...

Same way everyone else does. Leaked sex tape and something illegal to get the obligatory jail time.


So we're at the stage where young white Disney starlets get jail time for cred, while gansta rappers film shows where they take their wives to shopping parties at Prada. Whoa.

I don't know if I buy that that song is about paedophilia or not. And even if it was, I still wouldn't wanna watch a sex tape about it.

Smiley: glare

Yes drugs, I know. We're combining sex and candy here. You know, for bonus points. That was the whole point of the...

Smiley: motz

I'm so done making analogies before coffee. Smiley: bah

Ummm...the song isn't about drugs either, at least as far as I know. It's just a bunch of euphamisms for sex with a title based on an offhand remark the lead singer's roommate made after walking in after the lead singer had just finished banging his (the lead singer's, not the roommate's) girlfriend. The candy referred to in the title is just a cigarette.

That's ridiculous. Everything is about drugs.

/hippie voice

The 60s are over maaaaaan. Not everything is about drugs anymore. There's a great big world out there to see.

/end hippie voice

Edit: I was gonna make every letter of that post a different color, but that would have taken waaaaay too much effort.

Miley Cyrus is racist against Heroin-Addicted Americans?


Can't you tell? She took everything that was good and pure about being a lazy drug-addicted low-life and bastardized it.

I was more offended by her muffin top than by her rendition of the song.


Fatist. Smiley: tongue

Thanks for better explaining what I was trying to say Sweetums.

In reference to the black women have pretty hair thing, I know it isn't exactly a stereotype, but some white women do have a tendency to exoticize black women's hair, like in the example I gave. Like other people have mentioned, black women's hair is a BFD, and I think it's probably a big part of their culture (I obviously can't say this with complete certainty since I'm not a black woman). To have a white woman come up to them and exclaim how awesome their hair is and basically demand to know how they do their hair so they can replicate it, that's gotta be pretty off-putting, not to mention objectifying.


I have super straight hair and I was always fascinated by how weave would hold a perfect curl for days or weeks on end.

I just wish my hair would make up its mind. It's in some bizarre place in between straight and wavy and it drives me nuts.

I think the author's argument would be less offensive to my sensibilities if she actually made one. Instead of just declaring tautologies as if she's the arbiter of all racism. Also, a lot of the things she's declaring as stuff "hipsters" do is actually just stuff that obnoxious 18-22 year olds do.
