- Britney should switch to OB tampons because there's no way you'd see that teeny green string on camera. (ICYDK)
- Boy Jessica Biel is dumb, you pull your hair back for the puke part.
- Hitler watched three movies a night too and we all know how that turned out.
- Pink and Carey Hart are back together in what it obviously going to be an open relationship given the couples example she drops because Pink is mostly a Dyke and I guess Hart's fine with that, at least he's free to get head elsewhere since his wife thinks blow jobs are "disgusting." You know, it's the 'unconventional' couples that probably have the best relationships, like Genesis P. Orridge and Lady Jaye. I read a fantabulous article about them that I can't find now. I'll keep looking though and post it when I do.
- "The Internet Celebrates the Legacy of Bea Arthur" I'm late with this I know, that's because I've been watching episodes of 'Maude' and 'Golden Girls' on YouTube just so nobody gets all judgemental on my ass thinking I don't care. I'll miss you Bea. Canadians will always remember your commercials for Shopper's Drug Mart too - a little piece of you onscreen that we didn't have to share with anybody:
Forgive me, I'm not really understanding the Pink post. Maybe I'm totally uninformed, but I thought Sarandon/Robbins and Hawn/Russell were monogamous but unmarried. I also thought calling someone a "dyke" was a slur.
ReplyDeleteI guess I could totally be wrong. I don't travel in circles that use the word any other way, however.
No, Dyke isn't a slur unless it's used as such which I haven't and it's capitalized. Like 'Gay' - that's a good way of telling someone's intention or perspective, at least in print. Also, you're absolutely right in that it depends too on the circles a person moves in or is exposed to. To me, terms like 'Dyke,' 'Queer,' 'Bear' etc. aren't a big deal. The other 'F' word, I don't use. Nor do I say 'homo' which is rude. I've also expanded on the post to clarify my perspective. Hawn and Russell have stated they have an open relationship. It wouldn't surprise me if Sarandon and Russell do to given the context of what Pink is saying.
ReplyDeletep.s. In Toronto, the day before the Gay Pride Parade we have the "Dyke March." That's its name. I'll have pics and stuff from the celebration weekend in June :-)
ReplyDeletep.p.s. Week...'Pride Week,' the parades are on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAND...if you ever say "forgive me" before commenting again I will ban you, LOL!
ReplyDeleteBritney makes me gag. For so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is referring to a gay person in print without the capitalization now universally considered disrespectful? I can't keep up with all of this stuff! Need guidance.
ReplyDeleteI am never politically correct either, Codzilla. But like you, I mean well.
ReplyDeleteI found the Britney thing a little nauseating. Call me old fashioned, but I just feel there are some things you don't share with the world, and your menstrual period is one of them. I think I'm most disturbed by the little girls who admire her and want to go see her in concert and then her whole act is almost pornographic. A little mystery is a very sexy thing, Brit.
I don't think it disrespectful to not capitalize it, I just choose to; I just say well, that's because I remember when 'gay' meant 'happy.'
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with the capitalization, but I think if you capitalize Gay then you have to capitalize Straight. Same with Black and White. Why would only the underdogs get the capitalization? I root for the underdogs, but I think any time you try to bring yourself up by putting someone down, then you have a problem.
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember when gay was happy too, Baho. :)
ReplyDeleteI do try to capitalize any "label" - ha, there, I said it, "labe;". Personally, I'd like to do away with labels all together, but baby steps folks, baby steps.
ReplyDeleteUntil then I remain an Indo-Caribbean Canadian who happens to be of the Straight orientation.
:-)
Freudian slip: "label" not "labe..." LOL~
