seriously. seriously? wtf?

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Uh, should I wait 'til after work to watch this?

catlady said, (55 days ago)

i seriously (ok, yes, i said that) don't know what to make of this.

this is the note he sent with it:
hey, now that i know you better, i wanna send you a link to something my friend just sent me. i don't know your work environment so if you're around a lot of people ya might not want to play it (or turn it down low). it's not so bad. it's a funny song (and video but the video is a cartoon). check it... if ya want. it's called, "bitch your breakfast." hahaha how funny is that? the lyrics are very funny.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Ok, based on the note alone, he gets the boot.

"Now that I hit that, here's a video detailing various proclivities. But I'm only laughing at it ironically, y'see? Now, are you down to match said proclivities?"

catlady said, (55 days ago)

'hola hola hola
oatmeal and granola
yeah, bitch, you breakfast'

does anyone else actually find this 'very funny'? please enlighten.

catlady said, (55 days ago)

@art: YES.

catlady said, (55 days ago)

sigh. i think this is going to have to outweigh his cuteness.

catlady said, (55 days ago)

but still...i guess i need to respond somehow. but how?

suggestions?

'watched that video you sent. not really my thing but, whatever.'??

catlady said, (55 days ago)

i'm sure you won't get through the whole thing either, but don't miss 3:21...

i just don't think i know anyone who would send me something like this.

catlady said, (55 days ago)

or am i just too uptight?

Erinzzz said, (55 days ago)

I have always liked this video but that's only because I think Piet Parra is a genius. If he's a graphic designer that's probably his reasoning (like me and my reasoning).

catlady said, (55 days ago)

aaaahhhh, well, he is so maybe that explains it. i honestly can't see past the content...

catlady said, (55 days ago)

and i never heard of piet parra. but would you send this to someone who would have no such context for it? because you think the lyrics are funny?

Erinzzz said, (55 days ago)

Yes, haha, in fact I had this as a profile page song a few weeks ago.

Here's more from Parra: http://www.rockwellclothing.com/

Sarah von Pantyhose said, (55 days ago)

be clear and open about how you feel about the content.

You can then make some cute comment about the little bird people and their eggs.

see after reading this thread, i'm watching it thinking it's hilarious.

soulcamp said, (55 days ago)

Well, I would have to say - if this was representative of his tastes, that would be the end of any potential relationship for me.

Kinda like if a girl tells me her favorite show is CSI: Miami.

Make Art said, (55 days ago)

Can't say it did anything for me, and I did make it all the way through. It's no "Business Time" is it?

If this is an attempt at flirting I'm thinking it shouldn't be rewarded. I'm personally not inclined to call anyone bitch as a term of domineering endearment, nor to suggest that they have a better looking friend who qualifies for lunch.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Soulcamp, you mean you wouldn't indulge a girl if

*taking off sunglasses*

she had a Miami Vice?

Make Art said, (55 days ago)

@ soulcamp: Would you give her a chance if it was CSI: Vegas though?

Make Art said, (55 days ago)

@ ABoyNamedArt : Bravo, by the way.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Or, as it's often called, "CSI"?

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Make art: Thank you. Caruso Studies was my minor in university. I'm now capable of tanking any career I wish to pursue.

Make Art said, (55 days ago)

I am mostly unfamiliar with the specifics of the franchise.

Evidently.

I prefer Quincy M.E. He has more passion and a greater commitment to the labwork. And lives on a yacht and dates air stewardesses 20 years his junior.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

On that I agree wholeheartedly. All Jerry Bruckheimer has really done with the various CSIs is give defense attorneys more to complain about.

Make Art said, (55 days ago)

His output's less fun since Don Simpson snuffed it.

I really should get round to writing the essay "Bruckheimer, Scott and Big Metal Cocks". I've had the title for a while now. It'd cover masculinity and the technological phallocentric commonality in Top Gun, Days Of Thunder, Crimson Tide and Enemy of The State.

catlady said, (55 days ago)

@pepper: really? can you explain? i mean, i know it's hard to explain why you find somethining hilarious, but i'm really trying to understand.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

Make Art: Don't forget their progeny, Michael Bay.

more pepper! said, (55 days ago)

it's just in such poor taste. i'm looking at it from a totally unaffected point of view. it's so bizarre and silly.

i guess i'm thinking it can't possibly be serious.

soulcamp said, (55 days ago)

@Art: I have no response to that. Either of you.

Ethan said, (55 days ago)

I'm with Pepper. By the time he got to "You ain't go shit on lunch, and lunch ain't got shit on dinner, and dinner ain't got shit on midnight munchies, but you all tasty lookin'.", it was impossible to take it seriously. I can see why he'd be interested in it from a design standpoint, too, because the animatin' was cool.

soulcamp said, (55 days ago)

I didn't take it seriously. I just didn't find anything redeeming enough to spend anymore time on it.

ABoyNamedArt said, (55 days ago)

I have a question: has Parra made other videos? I'm curious as to why dude might have picked this one, specifically.

Deep-Fried Goodness said, (55 days ago)

Mildly amusing animation. I'm just not a "bitch" type of guy.

Oom Mao Mao said, (55 days ago)

It's a great video, questionable taste in music, but I dunno.

It's an odd thing to send a woman.

purl said, (55 days ago)

as we say in the inner realm, buh-bye

catlady said, (54 days ago)

i'm with soulcamp. and oomie.

i don't take it "seriously," but i also don't find it funny. maybe because i'm an uptight feminist or something.

Superion said, (54 days ago)

I send something like that only to someone I know is going to find it amusing.

It looks like a fast way to close the gate to Vaginatown, otherwise.

catlady said, (54 days ago)

@sup: you'd think so, right? but maybe he's totally clueless. or just totally on a different plane than me. and many of you guys too i guess.

Oom Mao Mao said, (54 days ago)

"Won't you let me take you... to Vaginatown?"

Is there a bus that goes there?

Superion said, (54 days ago)

OMM; I hear you can buy tickets for a dollar.

catlady said, (54 days ago)

i believe that is where you can see pussy shoot banana.
