Your position seems to be that anything an oppressor appropriates and manipulates becomes theirs alone, and the oppressed need to surrender that thing rather than try to reclaim it and preserve its integrity. That’s just wrong.

It’s ok. I’m a lifelong Beatles/John Lennon fan and although I don’t hate it I never want to hear it again. Same as All You Need Is Love. And since many only ever hear those two songs they probably think that’s what the Beatles and John Lennon sound like.

Well, seven years as a camper, then four on staff (over a span of 17 years). Seriously. I was the music director. My job was to sing and hang out. It was amazing. “Imagine” fatigue was a small price to pay.

at one time I liked “Imagine” because I am a child of the 70’s and 80’s. But then it became so very overplayed and overrated that I grew to hate it

I felt very unclean and almost like a criminal when I was finally able to admit to myself that I hate “Imagine.” However, at this point Gaga could sing the ingredients on the back of a box of Fruit Loops and I’d listen, and probably weep with ecstasy. The voice and passion are strong in this woman

I once called my husband by my (now deceased) dog’s name. He said he didn’t mind because he knew how much I loved my dog.

I have never commented on Jezebel before, though I love it to pieces, the Hillary / Obama ‘08 primary was what really drove me to love politics (I was 14/15 just beginning to come out and living in a relatively backwards island in the UK) I have found so much love and warmth on this website but so much of the response…

I work for an awards show and she presented for us a couple of years ago. The dress she wore was so scandalously low cut, that to this day my boss just gestures in the shape of the neckline when she is trying to remember Dame Helen’s name.

When my mom was in Morocco with my dad, a man offered to buy her for two camels, and my dad said he couldn’t let her go for less than three.

Good news, it already exists.

Why is she wasting her time with these garbage people when she could be friends with me?? I would cook her some amazing appetizers.

It's weird because my experience in Israel is that Israelis would WAY rather talk to you in English than in Hebrew. I speak a little Hebrew (it used to be better than it is now, but it was never great), so every time I've been to Israel I tried to speak to people in Hebrew because (a) I wanted to improve my Hebrew and…

I got this poster for free, and I was so pleased. Would I buy it? No. But I love free shit, and this is quality free shit.
Do I even love Hilary Clinton that much? Not really, but damned if I don’t love a free poster with her face on it.

I can't be the only person who thinks that the real joke here is that Russell Crowe just doesn't know that one of his friends can do a really good Michael Jackson impression, right...?

When I'm appointed God-Emperor of Earth, a small implanted device in each person's brain will cause them to feel momentary but intense pain every time they use the phrase "I don't care if they're purple" in references to race.

That's awesome!!

Haha, yeah. It was great, naturally. Marc Maron is one of my favorites too, so it was an awesome treat.

We all know that men would lick their own genitals if they could!

I loved Jim Henson. Sesame Street helped me to reach my son and teach him to talk. He was severely speech and language impaired. I remember the time that Bob McGrath specially signed one of his books just for my son. I can't wait to see this movie. I can't thank Carol Spinney enough, for his work as Big Bird. He sure…

I love that the main thing these guys want from a liberated woman is FREE DINNER
