As it happens, I have several Godspeed You! Black Emperor CDs here in my office, and in honor of this post I've loaded Yanqui U.X.O into my CD player. GY!BE is a 9 member musical collective from Montreal. Their liner notes indicate that they're anti-American, anti-war, anti-big business, and anti-globalism. Their songs don't have any lyrics. Many of their songs are over 15 minutes long. Think Sigur Ros, but slower and without the made up language. It's a little like Tortoise, but less happy-sounding. They sometimes have ramblings of crazy people on their records (over their industrial/orchestral sound). I regret missing their show the last time they played LA. A friend of mine went and reported that they attracted a pretty weird crowd. Imagine that.

And, I read that they and their tour van were detained recently somewhere in the midwest at a gas station for looking like terrorists. I am too lazy to look for thie news story.

"Godspeed You What?! Call the poh-lice"

[W.W.L.D.]

Us Weekly reports Fred Durst has continued to be in heat over actress Angelina Jolie. He told the magazine that Jolie "was going to be my inspiration tonight" while at the AOL for Broadband gig in New York City. "She's a single mother. I respect a woman who really cares about her children and loves being a mom. I love being a father. I think that's one of the attractive things about her." Durst wasn't so kind regarding Britney Spears. "I refuse to read anthing about her," Durst moaned. He also weighed in on Britney's recent confession that she had only slept with *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake, despite his claims that they had been together. "Well, you know what, I'm glad she said that, and she can take that to bed with her every day," Durst responded.

Right . . . from Beanpole Billy Bob to Fat Freddy.

Tell that to the indigenous people living there, you Euro/Afro/Asio-centrist!

apparently amanda peet likes that view, though.

I think Penske meant that a time-appropriate Puerto Rican name would be something more like Ixlatl.

So what you're defending is that men like plastic.
Natural hair color? Clearly not. Try Clairol box #42.
Natural boobs? Clearly not
Natural tan? Clearly not. Ben Affleck fake-n-bake.
Natural face? Can't tell about plastic surgery here, but why women wear makeup.
It's OK for us to criticize your choice when the choice is clearly bought and paid for.

But in your corner on the "she just hasn't had kids yet excuse." I hate that one. Many women (especially in this office) have dropped the baby fat in under 6 months and look the same as pre-baby. It can be done. OMG am I talking about weight again?

That poster and your post remind me, didn't you promise me another CD compilation a while back?

I didn't want to break the law. Besides, I figured you were stealing what you needed from the web.

Indeed. If I had tits like that (which I do, btw, I just conceal them well so as not to attract unwanted attention), I would not distort them oddly with my arms.

I see no definition on those arms but some motherjumpin hugeness around the forearms and elbow. Her tits are a disaster.

It was clear that you were certifiable before, but this post pushes you well past lunacy into some caricature for the mentally ill.

I assume you will let paigs have Britney Murphy, who seems to be in a race to the bottom with LFB. [Insert anus bleaching joke here.]

Britney Murphy looked rather robust in "SPUN." She might just be on the Rene Zellwegger blow and smokes diet.

I never thought much of Britney, but I'm beginning to think she's cute. I think that's because she played opposite Mena Suvari, who is probably the ugliest woman on television. Mena looked great as a meth head in SPUN because her completely fucked up reptilian features are reminiscent of someone with some sort of fetal alcohol/drug poisoning.

Only a lawyer would go with "indicate" as the verb in that sentence.

Their songs don't have any lyrics.

In other words, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Quelle Canadien! I shall buy one of their albums forthwith.

Paigow:

Why is it that every chick over 30 has to constantly degarde any chick who's hotter than they are (granted, I ain't sayin' Jenna is hotter than you, cause I don't know you, but statistics favor that conclusion)?

If I had a nickel for every chick I know around 30-35 who beats on younger and/or plastic-surgery enhanced chicks, I'd have a third car. Its like those chicks who've had kids and deride other girls they see who are in better shape with the line "Wellll, she hasn't had kids yet."

I call bullshit. Lets call things like they really are here.

Jenna is what most men would consider very fucking hot. Yes, males idealize the barbie look, and she fits the Barbie look about as perfectly as anything with two legs walking upright ever has. Would I marry her? Fuck no, but would I be fool enough to say her tits are a disaster or she has flabby arms? Pleeeeese. How much of a tacit admission of subconscious envy do you need to betray?

What you really mean to say is "I'm disgusted that men like the way she looks and that someone like her looks like that because I don't look like that and don't want to look like that." That's a very reasonable position. If I were a woman, I might also be pissed that men have such fantastic notions of what the perfect woman looks like. However, I'd never float a silly stalking horse argument like "Oh, she's not good looking... just look at how flabby her arms are!!!" Trust me, she's damn easy on the eyes, and her arms are just fine.

Everyone knows the real reasons the sorts of chicks who rail against women with plastic surgery do so:

1. Jealousy (they want to look like that because they know men like it, but they either can't afford it or don't want to go under the kinfe);

2. Anger/feeling threatened (the chick with the plastic work often sets the bar for appearance higher than natural women can reach [plastic boobs do not require bras, plastic faces buy five/ten more years of young looks, plastic boobs do not sag, liposuction works where constant stairmaster sessions fail]); and

3. Competition (the plastic chicks are using performance enhancing drugs in the game that counts most).

The above is not perfectly correct, but its pretty damn accurate. Sure, there are some feminist arguments against plastic, but they are all offshoots of the 3 reasons above; its just easier and doesn't sound as pathetic to hate plastic for political reasons rather than because you feel threatened.

S(By the way, every guy alive knows the above, so when you offer political/social stigma reasons, we just smile and listen because its impolite to call you out)D
