Ugh, people are the worst. I feel strongly that things like body, weight, and skin color are NOT acceptable conversation topics, ESPECIALLY with strangers.

THIIIIIIS. She does this Every. Fucking. Season. In the begining she's all "this flaw isn't a flaw at all, own it girl, it's what makes you beautiful!" and then she always does a complete 180 and kicks the girl specifically for her damn not-flaw flaw.
I fucking loved it. I've re-read it so so many times, still I've had to stop reading it before bed because the chapters about her honeymoon, her dad, and what it's like to be on photo shoots still make me weep with laughter. I wake up my SO and can't fall asleep myself! I feel like she offers great insights into being…
It makes me rage when, thinking back, there was one young lady(who honestly wasn't a very nice person AT ALL), but she made it all the way to the top 4(?) or so. And then handsome Nigel Barker says "well I don't really think she should be the face of America's NEXT top model".
Yep. I don't doubt that she's right to a certain extent on the industry's stance on, say, shorter or plus size models, for instance. But say what you will about Naomi Campbell, she will fight and make noise about the industry's shadiness.
Yes, I'm reminded of what Tiny Fey says in Bossypants about people who ask about her face scar.
Ever seen him speak extemporaneously? Yeah.
I really like the idea of having a "FUCK NO" person around to balance out all the Yes Men.
But he's loved Christ since before Pre-K!
I'm going with ignorance. I'm a PNW Native and we don't have anything resembling a Jewish community on the west coast, so exposure to such stereotypes was/is limited. Boyfriend had explained the realities of anti-Semitism as it exists on his native East coast, but I had never encountered or heard anything…
Totally. The problem is that being famous prevents people from saying "Hey dumbass, what the shit are you thinking?" There's a job market out there for "personal assistants", "life coaches" and "legal council" which are all euphemisms for people hired to serve as a rich idiot's higher reasoning and better judgement.
Stupid people who become famous really, really need a smart person in their entourage, so when they show up in this rig and say "whaddya think?" the smart person can say "FUCK NO" and haul their ass back to the costume shop and pick out a unicorn head or something.
because he was circumcised?
I agree. If he was aware of the implications of the costume, what would the purpose be? It doesn't seem like something he'd want associated with his PC image.
Honestly, it was so long ago, that I don't remember. I want to say Eastern European, but I'm not sure. I only remember the horn story because it was honestly the first time I had ever heard of anything like that and, at the time, I didn't think much of it. Then later, I learned that some people believe Jews have horns.
You have to tell us more about what kind of European she was. Do you remember the country? As per the latest ADL study, antisemitism varies wildly, from a shocking high in Greece to a relative low in England and other places.
Not to mention the whole Muggle-born Registration Commission thing, which wasn't even well disguised.
Calm down guys. He thought he was Jewish in the 2nd grade!
I'm pretty sure that Goblins are at least partly a merger of Jewish stereotypes and northern-European folkways.
In Macklemore's defence, he is an idiot.
