I’ve seen signs in grocery store parking lots that if you take the cart past the yellow line it will shock you. My dumb ass believed it...

Maybe she wants to be a Real Housewife. Clarissa would be so disappointed.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch needs to tone down the thirst. I mean, Jesus.

Man, Clarissa is THIRSTY.

Omg have you SEEN him? If someone told me I had to work hard to be perfect-looking for a man like that, I would punch them.

You know her husband banged at least three bridesmaids at the wedding.

This is all I needed to know: “I’m a hot little blonde with a well-connected family from the Upper East Side of Manhattan.”

I had to unfollow xoJane on Facebook. It was all these types of things or the “unpopular opinion” pieces that are just an exhibition of how shitty people are. Just...ugh. I loved Sassy. I loved Jane. Not this, though.

“But perhaps none of this was as shocking as her posts about her angry phone calls with her parents. They obviously knew what was going on because she didn’t have a job other than the occasional webcam girl gig. I can’t understand how a parent would let their child go on like this. Clearly, she was suffering and

I feel awful laughing, but goddamned if you’re not right on the money.

Yeah, if your big beef with someone is they maybe sorta said something that could have been referring to you on FB and it bothers you THAT much maybe you’re the problem, not the person who is venting.

Thank you, you’re a treasure to society precious Amanda Lauren. You are adding to the stigma of mental illness, you are celebrating someone being so unhappy with their life they chose to take it.

The reaction to the essay was swift, with xoJane’s commenters asking why this piece even existed; what was its purpose?

This is a perfect example of what xojane does. Honestly, I do think there is room for discussion and personal essays about how reactions to death - reactions that are both common but yet very stigmatized - can be very different and it’s good to share them so others know, etc. For instance, I remember when my

This was putting unnecessary negative energy into my life. THIS! Once I got to this line, I was already done. The “go-to” line for incredibly shallow and self aware. Oh yes, sorry Lauren, wouldn’t want some selfish a-hole to be dosing ones life with unnecessary negative energy. Geez!

This woman was just on a morning news program talking about the “hot for my husband” article. First of all, she has been married for a couple of months, tops. Hearing her speak, it was swiftly obvious that she is not...er...an intellectual, lets’s say. She sounds like a very immature, shallow, air-headed person, and

I guarantee I would come back as a poltergeist if a steaming turd like this was published about me after my death. Holy shit.
