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.
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?"
'hola hola hola
oatmeal and granola
yeah, bitch, you breakfast'
does anyone else actually find this 'very funny'? please enlighten.
but still...i guess i need to respond somehow. but how?
suggestions?
'watched that video you sent. not really my thing but, whatever.'??
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.
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).
aaaahhhh, well, he is so maybe that explains it. i honestly can't see past the content...
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?
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/
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.
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.
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.
Soulcamp, you mean you wouldn't indulge a girl if
*taking off sunglasses*
she had a Miami Vice?
Make art: Thank you. Caruso Studies was my minor in university. I'm now capable of tanking any career I wish to pursue.
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.
On that I agree wholeheartedly. All Jerry Bruckheimer has really done with the various CSIs is give defense attorneys more to complain about.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
I didn't take it seriously. I just didn't find anything redeeming enough to spend anymore time on it.
I have a question: has Parra made other videos? I'm curious as to why dude might have picked this one, specifically.
Mildly amusing animation. I'm just not a "bitch" type of guy.
It's a great video, questionable taste in music, but I dunno.
It's an odd thing to send a woman.
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.
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.
@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.
"Won't you let me take you... to Vaginatown?"
Is there a bus that goes there?

seriously. seriously? wtf?
