Re: What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
 

I have a few takeaways:

1. I agree with Lambert that black women shouldn't be used as props. But it's hard to make that argument to a young white girl whose entire cultural focus is black men consistently using them as props. Shit, it's pretty clear she just wants to be down.

2. Miley is only doing what Madonna and Lady Gaga, etc. do. She just used to be (like 5 minutes ago) a sweet, young, nice, acceptable pop icon for all the little white daughters of the people who are so angry (and daughter of Billy Ray, for God's sake!).

3. Her ass looked terrible in those shorts and if you're gonna twerk, you should probably have some ass.

4. People should be way more angry with the misogyny in Thicke's song that their kids all know by heart, than Miley simulating sex like a methed up stripper.

ETA: By the way, I am obviously fully aware of my hypocrisy, although I like to think that I celebrate women and their wonderful bodies (through my daily reductive/objectification posts) as opposed to encouraging violence towards them.

Oh I get the Chinese part, just not the fun-loving Japanese part. And for the record, ask any number of musician/actors about their experiences with Japanese customs.

We now have data for the over/under "how long after blaming cunnilingus on the missus for your mouth cancer before divorce papers fly."

Miley who?

Re: What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
 

Egad.

Well, at least I can still count on Thurgreed when I have questions about popular culture, the zeitgeist, etc.

Re: What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
 

True enough. I am a better resource for less popular culture. I have heard of the attention-starved Disney vixen, but cannot imagine there is some great philosophical pop culture lesson to be learned from her. If I'm going to go that route, I'd rather delve into the downward spiral of Lohan. That one seems like she could be some dirty fun.

My sister's bouncing technique was reviewed (and found lacking) by Big Freeda herself in an off hours club next to the Last Concert Cafe two years ago. It's a lot harder than it looks.

A friend has something similar here in Houston. She gave us access to her house to feed the cat a few months ago and it was pretty awesome. I'll ask her where she got it.

Kinda makes me sad that the author felt the need to put "now I'm no feminist" in a piece that is pretty damned feminist.

Re: What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
 

People don't understand what the word means. And I think most people think of feminists as women with long leg hair who hate men and are loud and bitchy. It's ridiculous.

Re: What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
 

Agreed. It's a shame how that word seems to scare, well, feminists. (Easy for a straight white dude/member is good standing of The Patriarchy to say.) We need more Ashleys:
