“And really, that’s all you need. Someone who sees the psycho that you are…and likes you anyway.”

Glee “Writes The Word Transsexual Out Of Rocky Horror Lyrics” “Cuts The Transgender Line Out Of Born This Way” “Treats Black Female As Stereotypical Token Character “Gives Said Character Who Happens To Be Overweight A Storyline Circling Around Tatertots” “Special Ed Is Hilarious” “Makes Fun Of Aspergers” “Bisexuality Doesn’t Exist” “Cures OCD By Triggering” The TV Series
New episode coming next Tuesday! :)
Considering the girl in the show describes herself as having “self-diagnosed Aspergers,” I’d like to think that they’re making fun of the people who go around pointing at people all, “You! You say rude things to people, therefore you must have Aspergers! Ohohoho I am a self-licensed doctor!” rather than making fun of people who have actually been clinically diagnosed with Aspergers…..
….but then I think I’m giving Glee too much credit.
“Many high schools teach Romeo and Juliet as a tragic love story between an boy and a girl who fall in love but can never be together. That’s probably how you were taught it. Bullshit. It’s the story of two horny teenagers who are too immature to understand the difference between love and lust, and the play shows the fall that they experience when reality catches up to them. And that, ladies and gents, is the true tragedy of the play.”

THIS. There’s this group on Facebook that annoys me, “They’re like Romeo and Juliet if Romeo was a twat” and I’m just like but he was a twat!

Thank you!! Someone gets it!!!! It was all sweet when I read it in ninth grade. But when I read it again in tenth grade, I laughed. These two are idiots. Seriously, that play makes you go “What the hell are these two smokin’?”

I didn’t even enjoy it when I had to read it in 9th grade. I only liked Mercutio, because he was a badass motherfucker who knew Romeo just needed a night alone in a dark room with a few exciting pictures.

Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever
An online poll conducted in the ’90s set Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier on a quest to create the most annoying song ever. After gathering data about people’s least favorite music and lyrical subjects, they did the unthinkable: they combined them into a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners.
Amazingly, this “most unwanted music” contains little dissonance — that would have been too easy. For the most part, they seem to have tried to assemble these elements in a listenable way.
Komar & Melamid and David Soldier’s list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children’s chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. It’s actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone.
