Bill Maher on Feminism
Bah. I love Bill Mahr, but I can't get behind this clip.
I'm a hardcore feminist, and to me that means that I believe that chicks are awesome and should be treated like people. For the record, I also believe that guys are awesome and should be treated like people.
I disagree with Mahr's assertion that American values have become feminized. I do think American popular culture has increasingly come to value polarized, extremist expressions of gender, with our faux manly war mongering Connecticut-born cowboy in chief on the one hand and increasingly stylized and abstract representations of femininity on the other (Mariah Carey, Anna Nicole, etc.).
I think that what Mahr calls "feminine values" are more accurately attributable to a trend away from personal responsibility. Let's not talk about how to fix things or how to be a good citizen or how to get things done. Let's whine about our feelings and talk about how our children are in terrible danger from sexual predators or tinfoil or whatever the threat of the day may be. It's not that we've all turned into chicks, it's that so many of us have turned into soft bellied unthinking buttmonkeys.
Johnny Cash, I Walk the Line
I've been slacking.
I have to admit I miss the sift, though, so I'm going to try to drop by a little more often.
Johnny Cash, I Walk the Line
Wooo!
Hey Firefly, thanks for the re-promote.
Huichol Indian Women Can Share The Pain Of Childbirth
... huh.
It does have a certain ring of fairness to it...
1970s Pollution PSA (Crying Indian)
Power to my peeps! Um, well, sort of...
I'm very conflicted by this thing. I support the message, but I cringe at the stereotypes. I know he's not an Indian, but I think he was a big supporter of Indians (I might be wrong, haven't read up on it in a while). I don't know, man, I just don't know.
And on top of that I am forever referencing this PSA in casual conversation and nobody ever gets the joke. Sigh. No one understands me.
How to give a quick shoulder and neck massage
Sigh. This is what I get for gambling with my boyfriend...
Ben Affleck gives badass interview to group of new brokers
I think he was perfect for this movie, though. The whole thing is such a cartoon of wealthy young white men, and then every once in a while, who swaggers onscreen, staggering under the weight of his own testosterone?
Ben F-ing Affleck.
He's here to tell 'em what it's all about!
Awwwww yeahhhhh!
Makes me giggle *every* time.
2006 Tattoo Convention NYC Interviews (some NSFW language)
Shoot! Really?
I looked for it before I posted and I couldn't find anything.
What tags did you use?
Johnny Cash, I Walk the Line
I wore my Johnny Cash coat today and I got inspired. So I went looking and found this video. Wooo!
Bands you've never heard of: Diablo Dimes - Down from Nothin
I was *thisclose* to posting this thing yesterday.
Why do you hate?
Sniper.
Hater sniper.
sigh.
Cool video though. Good song. I am totally gonna trap you in my car and force you to listen to his cd over and over again. And again. And stuff. Trust me. It'll be cool...
Sesame Street- Mr. Hooper isn't coming back.
I remember this!
I actually choked up a little while watching this.
Did admitting that just lose me tough guy points? Crap. Oh well...
Goth Girl does a Magic Coin trick
I concur. That's not a chick, that's a guy who's really emo. Or something...
Tyger - Awesome short movie by Guilherme Marcondes
dooode! sweet!
Military Green with Orange Highlights VideoSift, We Hardly Knew Ya. [sniff] (Sift Talk Post)
Oh my god. I post *one* questionable video and all of a sudden I'm the site's pimp?
Like I would send someone an order of hookers.
Don't you go maligning my staff like that!
Everyone knows I traffic exclusively in "high class callgirls" and "ladies of the evening."
Creepy silly Eurotrash video by Gunther & the Sunshine Girls
Shoot! I didn't catch that when I looked to see if it'd been posted before.
Thanks for the heads up.
