You'd have to have a huge bowl for oatmeal to be bigger than a yacht.

It's not satire when your goal isn't social commentary, but is actually just cynical PR. They can say that they're "playing with" this or that or the other thing, but they're really just exploiting kneejerk media to get people to watch their video.

So… releasing somebody's private video moves from unfunny, disgusting and morally repugnant, to cultural trope when the people in question are celebrities?

I just can't help realizing that a publicist got this article written.

Just imagine how happy you'd be if you actually DID cry, then!

Not unfair, but I'm not really trying to say anybody is the better Beatle or anything. I'm not saying that anybody needed anybody else more than anybody else. I'm just saying don't sleep on George. He's not just a generic cog.

Re #2: That's only true because John and Paul tried really fucking hard to make it true, and only left room for their songs on the albums. All Things Must Pass is the greatest work to come out of the Beatles, post-split or pre-, and proves out the notion that George only took a backseat in the band because he was…

This might've worked with actors who could act.

Nothing screams "erotic fiction" like long descriptions of genital warts. My pants are getting tighter just thinking about it.

It's entirely possible to both recognize how tasteless this is and also not be upset about it. This strange interest thing where everybody either doesn't care about a thing, or is weepingly offevded by it is absurd. There's a whole spectrum of emotion in there.

What does that change, exactly?

I'm a rich white person, and I think this is in poor taste, so that must count for something.

Half of Bob Marley was comprised of white people? What was the other half?

Because it's explicitly a 4/20 thing.

Definitely the worst thing is going to a gas station and finding a secret Limp Bizkit show without any prior awareness. Few things are quite like the gut-punch of running into Fred Durst without hours of preparation.

This shit's just mean-spirited. I avoid Limp Bizkit because they're the infantile, anti-aesthetic "artists" that they are, but to go after the identities of the people who DO like them is not the same thing as going after the band.

That's fair enough. I don't really think this is some special case, though, when it comes to CS, though. For instance, people hate on shit like Nickelback pretty much nonstop, and that's just as easy to avoid. Christ, half of what goes on at the AV Club is hating on shit that's actually pretty easy to avoid. The…

Which is a fair point, except for the fact that we're on the AV Club website, which I do enjoy, so I come here for discussion about pop culture this-and-that, and here we are on a post about CS, which I've seen before and about which I feel qualified to comment. So I commented. If anything, this particular post found…

Sure. And the guy in this video definitely seems to get way too angry about what CS does for his own good. But his shitty attitude aside, he also makes some good points.

Who's upset? Not me. I just don't think it's particularly funny, and I think the brand of humor leaves itself open to criticism — especially the bits about making fun of things for happening precisely the way they're supposed to happen. So I criticized.
