If we break all the mirrors we won't have to look at our own ugliness

Here's a video that is what happens when New York Times articles about millennials are made flesh:



New York Times' writer's sexual nightmare: "It's called "Uhh Yeah Dude" and vlogs privacy changing the workforce Mark Zuckerberg politically engaged Vice Magazine Second Life and their attire? Let's just say it's "business casual." Real casual."

Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette, creators of Uhh Yeah Dude: We're on it. [sound of them making it flesh].

Jonathan Larroquette's parents:

"I think we should name him John Larroquette"
========================
This blog post reminds me of when they see the pizza part of the corporatized documentary on Reality Bites, and makes me feel Gen X.

Which reminds me: here's a scene from my upcoming novel about clashes on the frontlines of the quiet GenX-Millennial cultural civil war:

The Gen Xer and the Millennials are in a Rock-n-Roll McDonald's in Dubai. First the Gen Xer orders and says like "McChicken Classic Cripsy Club" all condescending and droll and it turns his girlfriend on so they make passionate, brutally violent love until they realize they're just bodies.
Cut to the Millennials making chicken McNugget mashups in solitary glass cages with scrolling twitter feeds projected on their faces.

It's written from the point of view of an asshole.

The Secret Lives of Bees' Vaginas

Novels. What are they?

A: Novels are powerful stories about poor black women, told from the perspective of beautiful white women. And as any white woman will tell you: they. are. good. Real good. But as any literature critic will tell you, they aren't just good because they're about good things like Reconstruction, they're good because they have a secret double meaning. The secret meanings are "forgive your rapist/your daughter's rapist" and "just be yourself."

The best novel is The Secret Life of Bees. I love everything about it: from the commercials, to Dakota Fanning, to wondering who gets raped.

I also love what a perfect opportunity it is to start this dialogue: why do rich white women love this brand of emotional woman-pain so much? These books are like Saw for moms. They're mom porn. Does it take the shape of SLoB because women are super in touch with their emotions and bodies, as women? Or is it because they hate themselves? Or is it because they're bored? Or is it because they hate themselves?

Book Review
by: Just Mom!
I just read a great new book. Only 1 slave got raped, but I still learned about how important it is to form relationships with other women, and to be myself.

Thanks slaves!
