It's not quite as obnoxious as typing in all capitols.

But it definitely makes me think you're trying to make your typing look interesting because you don't really think you have anything interesting to say ... and you are so desperate for attention that you will claim that it's just the way you are.

Or do you really want us to think you have a spastic finger that cannot help but sit directly over the shift key?

Wow, that' s the exact opposite of my sister. Not that my sister isn't a good kid, she's just obsessed with fashion. Always dressing up, always putting on makeup, always reading the Shopaholic books...luckily she's actually a genius, or I'd be a little worried about this sort of "airhead" behavior.
As far as media whores go...I don't think dissing an entire political party is very fair, reasonable, or likely to persuade anyone to your point of view. I'd say the Media Whores are:

1. Paris Hilton
2. Martha Stewart
3. Michael Jackson (although a case could be made in his favor saying that he didn't actually want all that media coverage)
4. Paris Hilton (she deserves to be on here twice)
5. ...okay, I can't think of anyone else. Someone help me out here.

HA! Rep for you! That was great!

Oh and protests=negative attention, so I think it is fair to say that a perticular side loves to bathe in the media attention that they get from being arrested at some unruly rally.

Whoops. The n00b stuck her foot in her mouth.
But do you own a book called Fashion's Top Ten ? And read it religiously?

I agree.... they are so plastic and sluts to death !

Dark Art 12-12-2005 04:24 PM

I'm partial to Cosmo, myself.

Xng, what magazine is "W"?

I love the Italian Vogue the best.

I love that Gothic King (eighth poster) is a "babygoth".

This is not because they were hesitant or afraid to speak their minds ... they were just being conscientious of not speaking of politics in what was supposed to be an entertainment vehicle. I admire them for that.
Amen, Ben. I still recall the ire the Dixie Chicks called down on themselves for the way told a London audience they were ashamed George Bush was a Texan.

There are ways of expressing yourself. Alec Baldwin didn't score any points, either. They both came off like people pitching temper tantrums. Sarandon and Robbins sounded informed.

Just one example. Whatever your politics, if you're a celebrity at least try to sound adult and informed before you shoot off your mouth, please. Yeah, free speech, but if their celebrity status gives them access to my living room I'd like a little thought before they mouth off.

No one should apologize to members of another country that someone is from their home state. That's way too personal an attack. And to threaten to leave the U. S. if they get elected? Please. That's like saying, "I'll take my toys and go home."

Dark Art 12-13-2005 12:02 PM

Yeah, you're right. I care about how I look, but I'm not really into fashion. It's so funny, my sister likes to give me advice when we go shopping together. I think she's under the impression that if she doesn't, I'll end up looking awful. :)

Xnguela, are you going to be a designer?

I always felt that everyone overreacted to the Dixie Chicks. It was just one comment. Personally, I don't really care about an actor or a singer's politics. Just because I don't agree with them doesn't mean I can't enjoy their movies or their songs. Unless they do something really outrageous. Tom Cruise kind of crossed the line with his deragatory remarks about post-birth depression and medication.

Wait! That's it! Number five!

5. Tom Cruise

It would've been cool if you'd been a designer (I would've bought your stuff) but hey, being a teacher is awesome! I'm majoring in English and English Ed myself. Any particular reason for sociology?

Pun intended.

Dark Art 12-14-2005 12:48 PM

Ooh, wait, maybe Britney Spears is number five. Yes, Britney Spears is definitely more of a media whore than Tom Cruise.
Are you going to teach college or high school, Xnguela?

Dark Art 12-14-2005 01:04 PM

Me, too. I wouldn't mind teaching college, though. But junior high...forget it!

Bride_Of_Satan 12-15-2005 01:48 PM

I agree Paris Hilton should be on that list.

If I'm bored enough I'll randomly decide to watch The Simple Life. Honestly, I think it would all be porn and obsessed "Omg! That's hot!" if Nicole Richie wasn't on it. She's a pooch-obsessed slut and that's all she'll ever be!
