My friend was watching the preview for this episode last week and she got kinda outraged that it was called "The 16-Year-Old Virgin", because as she put it, it makes being 16 and still a virgin seem like something unusual and I was just thinking, DUDE, HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THIS SHOW BEFORE?
Noooo, not at all a fat joke. I've actually known of her existence on the interwebz for a long time, and it's always shocked me that people are rude enough to make fat jokes. Especially since there are SO MANY OTHER THINGS about her that are crazy, picking on her appearance is beyond awful.
I'm not gonna lie, I know all the words to "Tik Tok". It's awful, but I love it. It just makes me feel better, knowing how stupid Ke$ha is (or presents herself to be).
This review is everything I was hoping it would be and more.
Also, my friend said she watched this with her on-again-off-again boyfriend over the summer, and while she did not cry, he did and he hugged her and told her never to leave him and would not let her go for at least an hour. OMG CRAZY NEEDY. If that's romance, I want nothing to do with it.
"You cannot approach history unless you have empathy for the person you may hate," Stone said
Um, actually, you can. Understanding the social, political, economic, and whatever other causes behind someone's horrible, reprehensible actions ? empathy
Also, do people REALLY hate historical figures? Like, even my Holocaust survivor grandmother claims she doesn't hate Hitler (although she will call him all sorts of bad words in Polish), because he's dead and that's really not worth her time. Why not put our energy into hating people who are fucking things up in the here and now, like Sarah Palin?
But it wasn't even a revision of Romeo & Juliet. They just reference it and draw comparisons for the sake of trying to look smart because OH LOOK IT'S SHAKESPEARE GUYZ!
