Guess who. You miss me?
Here’s Eminem’s new video, “We Made You.” I know you all come by here for the latest in pop-rap news. So, here it is. Fresh for 2009.
I like Eminem. He’s funny. He’s got something to say. He’s not afraid to be a total dick to make a point. Plus, his raps style uses the off-beat rhythm, which I dig. He can act. And he always gives props to Dr. Dre.
But this new song is … meh. Gimmicky. It takes shots at celebrity-reality tv culture without saying much. I mean, Kim Kardasian’s butt? So, baby got back. You’re really going to point out that it’s not some skinny little thing? She does that enough herself. But, she living it. It’s better than getting Awful Plastic Surgery.
Kim Kardishian's butt
He asks Lindsay why she’s with Sam and Portia why Ellen. So, basically, what we’ve learned is that Shady’s jealous of lesbians. Weird. But not quite interesting enough to sustain the song in the long run. Sure, it’s catchy in a cheerful way. But I guess I prefer Marshall Mathers when he’s cranky and egomaniacal not insecure and homophobic … or lesbigoted.
Yeah. Lesbigoted. That’s my new word for men who are threatened by lesbians. Variations: Lesbigot, lesbigotry, lesbigotedly. Use it in a sentence today. You’re welcome, Websters.

Now you will have to think of a word for men who are fascinated by lesbians but wouldn’t know what to do with them if they got them.

Lesbifails. Or, you know, straight males.

Well you don’t do anything with lesbians when you’ve “got” them, because they’re lesbians.

That’s how desire goes, I guess. People want what they can’t have. They don’t really think it through. Straight men wanting lesbians. Gay men wanting straight men. It’s not a well laid plan. I said well laid…heh heh.

Straight men don’t want lesbians. Because they’re lesbians.

Peg, the camera adds ten or so lbs…
Gary, there are people who think they have the charm and skill to make gay people bi-curious.

her butt is huge – sissy there’s no way your butt is that big – if it is all I can say is DANG girl let’s see that badonkadonk – pictures!

Her butt is only proportionally big…her publicist says she’s a size 2.
Gary said,
April 24, 2009 at 10:47 am
OK – I just saw a picture. She’s not kidding. DANG!

I meant Kim Kardasian’s butt and dress size and publicist. Not Sissy’s. I have no idea what’s going on with her butt.

when did this reply to certain posts thing happen? It’s pretty cool
julieluongo said,
April 24, 2009 at 10:53 am
Yeah. And some WP templates give you the choice to get and email when someone has replied to a thread you’re chatting on.

I am clearly not a size 2. I need to sign off on those releases.
I’m confused on where to reply, as well.
julieluongo said,

I suppose the Reply function would be helpful if lots of people commented and the threads got long and convoluted. But really, how long will we be inclined to talk about your butt?
Gary said,
April 27, 2009 at 9:56 am
I could talk about it some more but it’s probably not a good idea.
Sissy said,
April 27, 2009 at 1:48 pm
The reply function or my lousy publicist?
Gary said,
April 27, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Your butt.
julieluongo said,
April 27, 2009 at 4:05 pm
yes. the butt
Gary said,
April 27, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Looks like the reply thing only goes to two levels and then you’re screwed.
julieluongo said,
April 27, 2009 at 4:06 pm
yeah, that’s lame. esp because I wanted to see how long we actually would talk about Sissy’s butt.

Not really an Eminem fan (or a rap fan, if truth be told) for a number of reasons, but you’ve got to give it up to the guy for the brilliance of “My Fault.”
