I'm confused. How is that supposed to address my point? I'm saying I've seen many more girls ridiculed and shamed for "dressing slutty" on halloween than I have seen girls shamed for wearing something more modest. It's frustrating that there is this assumption about the motivations of girls that choose to dress in a particular way. I don't understand how assuming they are dressing to please men is any different from the logic that leads rapists to assume women have implicitly consented based on their dress. The video implicitly makes that assumption. That is, it assumes girls are doing this for externally motivated reasons rather than intrinsically motivated reasons. I've never found that to be the case. Most often the girls enjoy "looking cute" and all of the attention that brings with it. The snarky tone of this video suggests that those somehow aren't valid motivations, and instead self-respecting girls should aspire to some higher set of values. In other words, the video seems to have the agenda of slut shaming. I think that's bogus. Your link is dumb because the girl I was talking about didn't buy her costume. She put it together from her wardrobe, painting the mask and everything. I think the prevalence of "sexy _____" costumes has more to do with market driven realities (i.e. how women like to look) than by some externally imposed patriarchal agenda.

Sometimes it's helpful and appropriate for adults to tell teenagers what they ought to do.

My mistake...I thought you were trying to add something to the discussion. I won't make that mistake again.

Obama won the snarky sarcasm vote though at the cost of making him look less presidential.

Setting up a fake account to complain on the Company's Facebook page, then making a snarky ad to respond to that complaint? Marketing is getting clever indeed.

Atheists cannot, even in a jocular fashion, be remotely compared to any cults like those of Koresh or Jones, they are the very opposite. In fact, atheists have no agenda other than freedom from the shackles of dark age myths. They do not want to have to confront religions/cults but have no choice when, daily, the destructive nature of them blight so many lives. If a "believer" wants to be a slave to some god and/or preacher, that's fine, they can do so in private. But they must keep their poisonous, controlling, brainwashing, tenets, out of our schools and government.


I believe the gray bloke is being snarky and referential, namely referring to the misogyny of the second two "preachers" and their hordes of MRA-holes (one would need to be up to date on the FtB/Reddit affairs). Condell must be in there for his perceived xenophobia.

And it's not just a snarky retort either. These messages can actually prevent rape by raising awareness and responsibility in would-be rapist men.

An Arizona cop recently drove drunk to a bar and sexually assaulted someone there. He was convicted, but the judge cautioned the victim that if she hadn't been there, it wouldn't have happened.

Under public pressure, she issued an apology a few days later.

So that makes him a hipster elitist because he's not a Jerry Springer fan? Count me as one of them too because I watched that Springer element go from fringe to prime-time mainstream over the past 15 years and there's no escaping it. The in-your-face booger-eating shock value that at one time you only saw in the mentally-challenged kid in your school.

And now this instant powdered fame has become a bankable commodity, if you're a pretty girl who eats her own earwax or admits to liking the smell of farts you can become a star. Or you don't mind pranking your mother on-camera by telling her that you're pregnant with your high-school art teacher's baby, just to "push the envelope" of reality TV.

Like the guy in the movie my workplace is full of college grads who were weaned on this crap, it's all they know. They talk like they think they are some sitcom sidekick, spitting out this stream of snarky, hip, pop-culture references and this week's memes and reality show updates. With a smug grin because the studio audience in their head is cheering them on.

So you can have it. Call it a hipster pose but I am too good for this crap. I don't care if there are 32 million of them, this crap is for morons and it will only get worse.

So you're including yourself in that group, yes?
Or are you too hipster for that? "I was counter-culture before counter-culture was a culture."

I hope we all understand that you can nod your head along to the sentiments in this video and still be a part of the problem.

Ah, yes.
The combination of the crunchy cheetos shredding the top of my mouth and the flaming hotness entrenched in the resulting flaps of skin.
Good Times, indeed.

(this is very snarky, but I do love them)

I've never seen him so grumpy or snarky before?? He must have had a bad sleep or something.

They just posted it on Facebook, so I expect traffic was heavy.

It is playing for me now....

lol, no mistake, it was incredibly sarcastic. I just refuse to use the check box! It's Sarcasm for Dummies!

I haven't seen you making an ass of yourself, by the way.. Maybe I don't get around much, but I've never once thought you were an ass
