My belated thoughts on a (fairly) recent controversy!

[ishyface]

"Ur So Gay" = "Guys who act gay are hilarious! Also, reading is for fags."

"I Kissed A Girl" = "Girls who act gay are hot and will make me money! As long as they don't act too gay, because that would be gay."

In conclusion, Katy Perry = hypocrite, and possibly kind of a douche!

Mostly unrelated: I find it absurdly hilarious that my little sister has a poster of Mitchell Musso. I looked at it and was like, "Hey, that's the brother of that guy in that band that sings about underage sex! LET ME TELL YOU ALL THE THINGS THE INTERNET HAS LEARNED ME ABOUT THEM AND ALSO PETE WENTZ," and she just sighed and nodded and waited for me to run out of steam. (I didn't!)

Fact: Katy Perry has never actually kissed a girl.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I know! That just makes her more douchey, I think.

[twobit.livejournal.com]

She makes me angry. :(

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Me, too. (She also makes my little brother angry! Because her songs are not about feminism, and he is the only twelve-year-old boy in the world who gets upset about that.)

[ladydreamer.livejournal.com]

100% agreed.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I mean, damn, I kiss girls (and like it!) a WHOLE LOT (or, you know, would if I wasn't single/had any game at all), and yet? I AM NOT WRITING SHITTY SONGS ABOUT IT AND PUTTING THEM ON THE RADIO. BECAUSE I AM NOT A DOUCHETOOL. That's how THAT works.

[escherzo.livejournal.com]

I tried to like her.

... and then I listened to the songs. Catchy? Yes. Anything past that? no.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

SAMESIES. I want to like her, because anyone Travis McCoy thinks is cool enough to date is someone I am going to at least try to like a little (oh, hi, Bill Beckett!), but... no. Just no.

(Also, that faux-retro thing she has going on? Both annoying and ugly!)

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

What? What is all this gibberish about Katy Perry and her rubbishy song?

Seen her music video. Had to stop watching in the middle because HAI, it was totally just made to get straight dudes off. Surprise! Because female homosexuality isn't real, it's just fodder for straight guys to get off on.

On a happy note: plz b telling me you have seen the movie Shortbus, y/y?

If you haven't, don't watch it with your mom in the room. I'm serious. O_o

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Wow. I just went and looked up both "UR So Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl" on youtube and then did a lyrics search.

For fuck's sake. This shit not any more evolved than slurs high schoolers throw at one another. She's an idiot who can keep a beat and flutters her eyelashes in a manner that Record Company execs think will sell records.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT GOD SHE MAKES ME PRETTY ANGRY I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

I'LL FAG YOUR FACE KATY PERRY

I'LL
FAG
YOUR
FACE

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

. . . .

I'd fag your face too if it wasn't already the gayest thing since ever.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

WHATEVER I THINK YOU'RE ALREADY PRETTY GAY JESSE

I MEAN

YOU READ STUFF

LIKE, BY CHOICE

AND READING IS OBVS FOR FAGS.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

READING IS FOR BIG HOMOS LIKE RADCLIFFE HALL AND JEANETTE WINTERSON AND OSCAR WILDE.

I ONLY READ GAY PORN, WHICH REAL HOMOS DON'T READ. OBVS.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE NOT REAL HOMOS ONLY READ STUFF WITH LONG WORDS

AND "COCK"? NOT SUCH A LONG WORD. UNLESS YOU ADD EXTRA O'S. AND THEN IT JUST LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE YODELLING.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Man, I wanna send a postcard to Katy Perry that reads:

GERALD WILL FAG YOUR FACE.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Have you ever seen Idiocracy? It's where I got that line.

"Why are you reading that word? Are you a fag?"

"I'LL FAG YOUR FACE."

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Alas, no. But I'LL FAG YOUR FACE WINS.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Well, duh! I mean, why else would girls kiss each other if not for the benefit of straight dudes? It's not like they can have sex or anything- they don't have little soldiers.

>:(

I have seen Shortbus! It is a most premium film, although I'm not sure I'll be able to watch it again. Very raw. (My favourite characters were Severin and James. Oh, James. How I overidentify with you.)

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Oh Katy Perry, she's just an idiot.

http://hippiemeg.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/katy-perry-homophobic/

I said so in the comments there. She's so far up her own ass, I think, that she can tickle her asshole from the other side.

(I am feeling really crude for some reason. Apologies to the managment. I can leave you HAPPY SHINY FLOWERS if you like.)

I liked the Sex Therapist Couples Counselor.

Very premium. And actually not pornographic. As in, I didn't find it exploitive in it's use of sex or nudity. It was quiet gentle and tender in a way.

Also, John Cameron Mitchell OMFG. I WANNA MAKE OUT WITH HIIIIM.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

The management is totally cool with crudities, and would like to present you with this complimentary gift basket for that superb mental image. (In my head she is tickling her asshole with a daisy. I don't even know.)

The girl who plays the couples counselor was a host for the Canadian broadcast of the Beijing Olympics! Which made me giggle a little. I was like, "Aww, last time I saw you you were in the middle of a threeway!"

That's how we do media in Canada, man. One minute you're the meat in a delicious sexy indie sandwich, the next you're explaining how Chinese toilets work.

JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL IS POSSIBLY A GOD. HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED HIS MUSIC VIDEOS? THEY ARE SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD.

[youidiotkid.livejournal.com]

Katy Perry used to be Katy Hudson, and before she dyed her hair black, she wrote songs about her love for Jesus. No lie! EPIC FAILURE

[youidiotkid.livejournal.com]

lol mitchell musso, btw.
i love the picture of him smoking pot.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I HAVE HEARD ABOUT WTAF.

[youidiotkid.livejournal.com]

xD!

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

MITCHELL MUSSO COME GET STONED WITH ME WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW CREEPY BILLY RAY CYRUS IS

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I heard about that. FAILSAUCE, KATY PERRY, UR MARINATED IN IT.

[ahimsa114.livejournal.com]

OMG yes, with the Katy Perry! Plus, when confronted with it (in an interview I'm too lazy to look up), she's like "I have *tons* of gay friends! And they all think it's funny!" Which...do people still say shit like that?

[uncommon-crow.livejournal.com]

She actually SAID that? How nauseating!

In the words of Janean Patience:

"Katy Perry afterthought: Somewhere in the gay bars of Utah, which I'm assuming Perry's from cause she's a Mormon, someone's singing I Kissed a Straight Girl (And She's Not Stopped Banging On About It Ever Since, How Vanilla Can You Get?)"

[ahimsa114.livejournal.com]

Yes! Here she says "My closest friends happen to be gay," which makes me throw up in my mouth a little. And then here she says that she thinks gay people have a great sense of humor. I totally have a great sense of humor, she's just not funny at all.

That Janean Patience quote? Totally is funny!

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of this...



(I think quitelife00 made it, but I'm not sure.)

[ahimsa114.livejournal.com]

Ha. That's the bestest!

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

*HUGS*

[uncommon-crow.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I have a wicked sense of humour too, and Katy Perry? is just Not Amusing At All. I get the distinct impression that she's... slumming, for lack of a better word. You know, hanging out with The Gay because it gives her street cred and the (dubious at best) license to write stupid songs about us.

And as for the quote, barbelith.com is the source of all things good. It's probably done more for my political education and debating skills than any of the schooling I've been subjected to anywhere else.

And, unlike Katy Perry, the denizens of the Lith are actually funny.

[ahimsa114.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, exploitation... And we thought it was a relic of the 1970s!

Thanks for the rec! I'm super excited about the section on identity politics!

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

BEST SONG EVER I WOULD LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY ALL THE TIME.

[uncommon-crow.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. I THINK FREDA, MICHIGAN SHOULD RECORD IT, IN FACT.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

OH MAN

OH MAN OH MAN

DEV YOU JUST DID A VERY BAD THING

[uncommon-crow.livejournal.com]

YES, I KNOW. ISN'T IT MARVELLOUS?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Ughhhhh KATY PERRY WHY DO YOU SUCK SO HARD. IF YOU ARE OBJECTIFYING GAY PEOPLE, OR MAKING THEM THE BUTT OF YOUR (DUMB) JOKES, CHANCES ARE ALL THOSE GAY FRIENDS YOU'VE GOT THINK YOU ARE A SHIT AND ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SO.

[ahimsa114.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Also? Even if she has close gay friends, who are her real friends? That doesn't give her license to say how gay people should feel. Because, you know what? I kissed a girl and am very much looking forward to the next opportunity I'll have to kiss a girl! And I'm probably more of a "good girl" than Katy Perry. And I have an awesome sense of humor and YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!

Blah...I think my anger is making me nonsensical.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I think "YOU'RE NOT FUNNY" is all that needs to be said, really. SHUT THE FUCKERS DOWN.

[braintastic.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard "Ur So Gay", but "I Kissed A Girl" pisses me off. YOU'RE MAKING THE LEGIT BISEXUALS LOOK BAD, PERRY. CUT THAT SHIT OUT. :(

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. And the legit bisexuals are not afraid to KICK HER RETRO ASS. NOT IN A SEXY WAY, EITHER.
