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!)

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?)"

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!

Reminds me of this...

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.

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!
