@Konstantin Bothari: This is pretty much awesome. A giant candy leaving bunny is pretty ominous.

@L'Adelaide: Word to this! Best tradition.

@MissBuckyC: Nope, they were in fact all just by-standers.

@nyc-caribbean-ragazza: Here's a cool interview of them about Erykah's video: [music-mix.ew.com]

Her tweets about her kid's reactions were the best, I think. ([twitter.com]) I sort of loved this video, that they shot it with her car parked nearby so they could flee if the cops showed up.

@bookling: Actual bystanders.

@Stephanie is the cheese: I think it's interesting that not all the brands paid for placement in her video — Diet Coke didn't, for instance.

@briarbite: Way more articulate then I was being. Wonderful response.

@Jessper: Nope, because they were acting, you know, not pretending their characters were living all out in the real world, giving interviews in character. I also don't think AFP is a soul-less jerk! I was a big DDs fan. I also do take issue with a lot of "crip drag" in media, like in say, Glee.

@beautilation: That is a nice dismissal of all her fans that told her they were hurt by her handling of Evelyn/Evelyn.

@Jessper: There's a difference between writing a story (or a concept album) about experience you don't have, and pretending these characters are real, acting as them, giving interviews as them, performing as them, and blogging as them.

@LornaDoom: Please explain the Klan thing to me then.

@MsFeasance: Right, because we all know how much Katy Perry was pro-Prop 8 so it made so much sense...oh wait that wasn't true at all. That performance made no goddamn sense on any level.

@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I have yet to see that for the Klan thing, which she deleted and never addressed, and was less than impressed by the 'sorry y'all were offended!' post about Evelyn Evelyn. This interview on Australian TV pretty much made me give up hope for a thoughtful response: [hoydenabouttown…

@DandiDame: Yessssss.

@VerraLin: I actually do ask people that when they tell me they had a panic attack. Maybe I'm an asshole friend.

@bleedingmouths: I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with SGI-USA, but there are definitely people in it who start out by saying chanting will grant wishes! or something similar. Or at least that's what it was like when my parents joined.

God I love Serena Williams.

@KLondike5: Sounds like SGI-USA Buddhism, to be honest.

Is there something intimate about birth control? I guess I take so many pills a day that I just have stopped giving a shit.
