In case any of you haven't seen the TNMT boy band covering Throwdown:

"I really do hate to break it to the guy, but hey, Jonah Hill? That whole “unappealing schlubby guy gets the ridiculously attractive girl by being funny” thing? That only works in your movies, not in real life."

Not true. My super hot model friend married a short, round, receding hair guy because he's funny. Sure he's charming but he's also the funniest person I've ever met. Miracles happen. But probably not for Jonah Hill.

The people who made the McRib will fucking spray you with DNA if you rob them.

Does this mean less "DNA spraying" on the food itself? Because they never listen when I order things easy on the special sauce.

Jennifer Petkov deserves to die in a fire and roast in hell.

Hey, Jonah? Buddy, your problem isn't that you're fat. Well, that's not your primary problem. The problem is that you're not particularly handsome and you look like you smell of old cheese. Tom Brady can do disheveled. Idris Elba can skip showering and go to the grocery store in a gravy-stained sweatsuit and women will pay money to sniff his farts. You are not these men. You have to work harder. Get a proper shave. Buy some clothes that fit. Maybe aim lower than Brazilian models.

Fat, no. Shlubby and unnapealing? I believe he has a trademark on it. Blech. He must either be hilarious, or packing, because otherwise he's the definition of lady-boner-killer.

I SAW that Archie show - and it murdered me in the soul. I know Archie comics aren't relevant in the slightest, but it's full of 'being decent' (although it IS teaching my son that it's all about macking) and they DID just get a gay guy in Riverdale. Archie is cool with me. That show was a pox though, a pox I say!

Oh - and I see no reason that straight people can't just start an 'I Got Your Back' Campaign in support of It Gets Better. Really - you don't 'understand', you sympathize, perhaps even empathize. I'm not saying that you can't 'get it' the same way as the people enduring it, but it's important to examine your motivations in all things because there is a big damn difference to the people watching. Teens have excellent bullshit meters (for adults) so it is counter productive to say - 'I GET you, guy' if you've never been there. It's MORE disillusioning in fact, and that makes it totally reprehensible.

For example, being white as mayo lite, I cannot say 'black power!' with a fist pump. It's not legit. But I CAN say, 'rep is down with the P.E., now every little bitch wanna see me'.

Karma just fucked that Petkov cunt in the soul. Hope you enjoy your empty, childless house, bitch.

rep, I LOVE the idea of an "I Got Your Back" campaign. I think it would be lovely to have an internet record of the millions of stright allies to whom not-being-an-asshole comes easily. What an awesome thing for ANYONE, not solely gay teenagers, to understand - that so many of us are appalled that it should take any effort at all to be supportive of gay teenagers. An archive of human being being, I don't know, fucking human for once.

Love it. Pajiba, can we make it happen?

Actually, plenty of straight people have posted videos for the It Gets Better campaign (including Clinton and Obama!). While straight people don't have first-hand experience with being gay, there have been plenty of videos from straight people talking about their gay friends and relatives, and the impact those people have on their lives.

Phaeolus - I've seen a lot of those...I hate to say it, because it is damn commendable all around, but the Obama and Hillary ones just...fell flat from my expectations of...the human side, you know? Very dry speeches somehow bereft of passion for the topic...left me cold.

Not all of them are like that - in fact, the goal of straight people showing their support is served there quite adequately...I just don't see why people don't evolve a thing (to a more specific place) when it's a good idea to. And why not? It's not like it'd be harder, but it possibly might not get as many hits. Is that the issue?

'It Gets Better' was initially an invitation to gay folks to prove that it does. There's plenty of room to distinguish that it's not a trendy meme, but a wholehearted and convincing society of individuals with a wide variety of motives who choose to make a statement of support.

I hate myself for admitting this, but I felt at times that the school counselor from Heathers was whispering in a few folk's ears that this would be a good thing to jump in on. When I had an absolutely horrible phase in my teens/early 20's - false motives glared very damn bright.

(But now I feel that I'm dumping on a perfectly lovely thing that may only be suffering from discomfort about discussing sexuality or camera shyness, so I'll stop. For the record, I think the administration is doing the right and noble thing, despite the lack of flair.)

Oh, I agree that those two definitely have less altruistic motives. I was using them as examples of straight people who have made videos, to show that straight people can be included in the campaign. The link I included has a video of a less-famous straight person, but I didn't think that "Brendan Kiley made a video" would be much of an argument.

Kballs: Not completely, actually. Jennifer Petkov has three children. Only the oldest two were taken from the home and returned to Jennifer's ex-husband. The youngest is still in the house with those wastes of flesh.

Look at the big brain on Some Guy.

I knew before I even clicked on that Cracked link that that atrocious "Generation X" movie was going to be on there. Screw you, Fox, and everyone involved with that abomination!

But I CAN say, 'rep is down with the P.E., now every little bitch wanna see me'.

I have been sprayed by DNA, but I wouldn't call it a 'robbery.'
{Zing!}
