Song of the Moment: Mind Your Manners

Guys, I was mostly trolling. My bad. I didn't know there were babies involved.

I chuckled at this, I must admit

[harmless]

Babies and morons!

you need to be careful. McParadigm has really raised the bar for worthwhile trolling

He is way better at it than me, for sure.

[Heathen]

He is way better at it than me, for sure.

But there are times when you have to call a spade a spade and a highschool dropout a moron.

On a scale of Snooki to Honey Boo Boo's mom, how intelligent is Eddie Vedder ?

I was too heavy handed there....it really derailed what I was doing. I could have easily drug that out for another page if I had been more subtle.

[stip]

guys, I'm an easy mark at my best, and everything is in a fuzzy headachey haze right now. Be nice.

Let me know when the baby is out of diapers so I can resume.

[stip]

diapers is fine. It's not sleeping and screaming when you put her down that's kicking my ass.

i love the video!

This happened a few times but I didn't bother to quote them as I'm on my phone.

You edited the post?

Honestly, all of a sudden I got bored with that dude, he seems to be a dimwit really. So I edited my post to what really matters.

[gems and rhinestones]

Stip, I did not think about this until I read your review. I think that was a great observation on your part. I think you are right. Interesting!

This is not the work of heroes. This is a project anyone and everyone has to engage. And so while the rock star cheesiness is in the video in part because it’s playful (do you really think Danny Clinch included that because he thinks it looks cool?), and in part as a juxtaposition with how serious the problems that face us are. But I think it may also be meant to signify that there aren’t heroes that are going to make this better. There aren’t 20 people that are going to sit down in a room and solve our problems. Nor is it enough for some celebrity to draw attention to these things, since in the end a celebrity is just some silhouetted asshole jumping up and down in front of a blue screen. After all, we frequently get this footage from within a TV in the video, implying that we’re passively being dictated to, or that being a spectator is not enough. If the world is going to save itself, we’re going to have to roll up our sleeves, all of us, and get to work.

I'm the king of editing. I try to edit one out of every two posts.

For what it's worth, I think you've been in top form with your posts the past few days.

I never edit posts. It makes the post look weak.

I totally agree about these satirical comments. 'Cartoony' and somewhat iconic (cliched) imagery is being used deliberately as a stylistic choice.

I agree! But most of my posts are in fact weak.
