The thing I still cannot process is the concept of the YouTube celebrity. Like, there are actually children out there whose goal is to become YouTube famous. Now, I’m sure folks could argue “Oh well, that’s just what they said when talkies came out.” Ugh. YouTube stars skeeve me. They all seem so...loud. Why are they…

I know!!!! And, yes, conventionally hot people can be “nerds” but I can’t sympathize with the characters they’re playing because (most often) they’re supposed to be downtrodden. It’s very different experience growing up as a homely misfit vs. an attractive academic. Slapping on cheap plastics frames does not a nerd…

Remember when The Real World used to cast average looking / cute normies? Now everyone looks the same too me...very glitzy and artificial...like they’re trying to win some YouTube contract or the the affection of Joe Francis.

That’s the same gripe I have with giving big name actors most of the voice-over gigs in Hollywood films. There are so many other genuinely talented actors but the almighty dollar always wins :/

I concur— If this behavior is something they’re not trying too hard to hide then it makes me wonder what goes on after hours :/

Exactly. He just isn’t nearly as amusing as he thinks he is. He reminds me of some irksome 8th grader whose idea of humor is talking over you and repeating everything you say while cracking themselves up.

Really, anything can be a joke. But it’s like with freedom of speech— You can say what you want but expect backlash when you’re an ass.

I’ve seen that a bit from formerly fat people, both famous and not. I can only imagine that it comes from some major feelings of insecurity. I am embarrassed to say that I even exhibited a bit of that when I lost a lot of weight. I wasn’t such a putz that I verbalized my feelings but every time I made some negative,…

I keep trying to remind myself that 29 (my age) isn’t old. But every time I read posts like this and then people post links in comments about glitter roots and stuff I feel so fucking lost.

May I borrow “Chardonnap”? That's pure genius right there.

Bless you!

Hopefully the kid will learn to rock out, love puppies, but stay the hell away from Fred Durst.

All I can think of is Wes Borland.

Needs more Peter Pan collars.

Thanks so much for your comment. Seriously.

Years ago (as a youth with questionable taste) I was watching some kind of talk show or news magazine program and there was a story about a mother breastfeeding her kids past their toddler years. I distinctly remember one child shouting “I want my Mimi Milk!!!!”

I’ve been to Planned Parenthood after being shamed by ob/gyns at traditional practices for my “promiscuity” (they didn’t use that word specifically, but one doctor did say that if I didn’t want to worry about STDs then I shouldn’t have sex. Yup.). At Planned Parenthood they applauded me for being responsible and…

It bums the fuck out of me that you know there are people who would feel uncomfortable by some of the original images but are all too enthusiastic about the appropriations.

Bonus points for spider walks and 360 degree head spins.

Yowza! My eyes are both confused as fuck and dazzled.
