Pajiba

I am with you Lady GaGa. One single about getting so wasted you get dateraped doesn't make you a star, and you need to stop showing up half naked to nightclubs when it's 10 fucking degrees outside. You stupid whore! What is wrong with you?

Quick! Somebody prick suck Vermillion.

Lady GaGa is an arguable crossover artist, only because she writes synthed to death dance music (tell me what's obviously pop about her second single Poker Face?; just because pop borrows from dance doesn't mean all dance music is pop) and is being pushed as a pop princess. She's actually quite talented (put it in the perspective of modern American pop, readjust expectations appropriately, then drop them lower to really see eye to eye with the industry), since she writes her own songs and plays her own instruments. She also dresses like a futuristic French hooker as re-imagined by a Project Runway challenge where the designers are only permitted to work with stretch plastic materials.

Eliza, please meet Jeffrey Dahmer. He ate those he killed, too.

Seriously, this is their idea of an argument to win hearts and minds? If you see moral equivalence between hunting with a bow and eating a deer and sexually torturing and murdering people before dining on their corpses, then you may have had parts of your brain replaced with tofu.

Here, let's play a little game.

Do you have a hat? Jeffrey Dahmer sometimes wore a hat while butchering people, you monster.

Do you like to wear shoes? Jeffrey Dahmer liked to wear shoes while butchering people, you monster.

Do you have a vowel in your name? Jeffrey Dahmer had a vowel in his name while butchering people, you monster.

Do you have consonant in your name? Jeffrey Dahmer had a consonant in his name while butchering people, you monster.

Do you drive a car? Jeffrey Dahmer liked to drive cars while butchering people, you monster.

Do you have a bed in your home? Jeffrey Dahmer liked to have a bed in his home while butchering people, you monster.

I think we are all clearly such monsters that we should be immediately crammed into cattle cars and fattened up so that we can provide delicious animal-cruelty-free steaks to the vegan kings of the world.

stipe42, I *heart* you, you monster.

Tracer, your homophobia is not welcome here, so what if a guy what's to dress in red panties. It ain't like his old lady came home and found a guy hitting him in the seat.

Swing and a miss, Pookie. But nice try.

Her single is called Poker Face? Oh, I'd Poke 'Er Face.

Oh, come on. You've got a better comment than that lying around.

I don't know why I keep reading these dumbass things that PETA is up to. I must be a glutton for punishment.
This one really made my brain hurt though. I'm just trying to understand the logic of that argument. I don't know why...Like, ok. What fallacies can we name in this argument? Definitely some straw man action, and some begging the question (I think). It's been a long time since I took philosophy. What else?

Also, she's going out there with a bow and arrow! You know how sneaky you have to be to hit a deer with a frickin arrow? Not to mention how good of a shot you have to be.
I think that should be the next so-bad-it's-good reality show. members of PETA go out into the wild to commune with the animal brethren. And then the animals attack them and eat them. We all win.

Ouch.

Jerce, I'm totally copying that to Word even as we speak. Because, well, word.

Jerce, you realize that PETA is now going to mount a new version of the "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign with Kevin James at the forefront just to spite/acknowledge your criticism. Even worse...it'll be in promotion for Paul Blart: Zoo Cop which means he'll be wearing nothing but the moustache. The hideous San Fernando Valley porn scene circa 1976 moustache.

I'm not saying your concern isn't valid (it very much is), I'm only saying these people don't take losing very well.

stipe42 - not to be picky or anything, but last time I checked, people are actually omnivores, not carnivores. That's why we also have to eat vegetables and grains, and not just, you know, meat. Also, carnivores are equipped to eat raw meat, and last time I checked, people pretty much need their meat to be cooked, so they don't get sick. (yes, yes I know about the tartare and the carpaccio, but those are the exception rather than the rule).

Also, it's all well and good to talk about the naturalness of eating animals, but it's important to remember how very far away we have gotten from hunting, killing, and butchering our own food. I think if more folks had to do that themselves, they'd be asking for someone to pass the tofu. And my Godtopus, is the factory farming of animals the farthest fucking thing from natural you could imagine.

Which goes back to why, since Ms Dushku actually eats the animals she hunts--and a deer starving to death helps no one--she clearly has a point.

Anyway, all of this is not to argue with the fact that PETA's logic is completely off-base, because clearly it is. They give vegetarians a bad name.

Can someone please explain to me who the fuck Lady GaGa is? Am I that out of touch?

I don't know and I'm not gonna read Robert's comment because I don't wanna know.

There's no one from school that I'm dying to reconnect with. I remain unsearchable in Facebook. Why invite some well-meaning person to get ignored?

And now I'm sad that I don't have speakers on this computer so I can't hear the prayer about "the strength to beat that bitch's ass". I may be paraphrasing. I'd seen the stills and knew the story, but it wasn't until I actually watched last week's episode yesterday that Stains' trance hit me and I did indeed laugh indelicately. I'm also a little tempted to start saying "does".

P.S. I will also pinch a puppy until it cries

It's funny; you sit around smug in the satisfaction that you are an weird, gutter-brained degenerate, amongst your kind on Pajiba, and then you read a comment like that and it dawns on you that you could never even IMAGINE pinching a puppy til it cried.

Mike R., your comment forewarning of a Paul Blart/PETA team up has made me develop a facial tick
