what is with the hate on ipods, here, anyway? its not a symbol for anything, its a useful and lightweight device that allows me to listen to “u got it bad” whenever i feel like it. instead of enduring 45 minutes of the sound of someone breathing down the back of my neck and bitchy hipsters yaking on their razrs, i listen to the npr 7 oclock news cast. instead of being alert and helping fellow commuters in distress and giving up my seat, i can pretend to be oblivious and continue reading the weekly dig while children are flung to the ground due to the bitterness and jarring braking of mbta employees. and why would you want to lug around a heavy, useless piece of crap that skips all the time? if convenience, obliviousness and pure sonic isolation aren’t worth $400, i don’t know what is.
and lisa rules. i would if she does the fandango?

Good for her! That’s too flippin cool….. you know damn well that there is no one else in the world quite like her. She’s found her favorite, stuck with it, and has apparently found it to stand the test of time. FUCK YEA, LISA. FUCK YEA. Don’t stop her now!

Well, I do not own an Ipod and will probably not get one any time soon. That said, I love baby dykes. I’ll be one when I grow up (I’m a gay male). And I think they’re hot. They have more personality (and balls) that all those Ipoed Muscle Marys put together. Your rant comes across as vacuous (NOT everybody owns an Ipod or wants one, for that matter) and listening to CDs is the same than listening to your 2 Gigabytes of music in your little white sybol of dumbness. It’s that conformist, spoiled, up-to-the-minute attitude what makes lennings jump off cliffs. Bravo for te brave baby dyke. May three or four gay men follow so we are not all condemned to Aberzombied and Bitched comoformity.

I like this editorial decision. I’ve been wondering lately why so much Internet is devoted to making fun of celebrities when there are so many more normal people in desperate need of being mocked. I’m not even being sarcastic. I’d love to read more cunty critiques of the unbearable people one sees on the street, bus, and train every day.

I wouldn’t have put her any younger than 22, even though she looked like a 12 year old boy. And I don’t think any of it was an act for her. I really came to feel like that was just…. her.

Wow, that was long, but decent writing, I really felt like I could see “Lisa” and hear Queen. What causes people to focus so intensely on one thing to the point of pursuing questionable behavior like carrying Queen with you everywhere? “If mommy and daddy won’t love me then Queen can fill that void,” or something like that heh. She must have big balls though; making a conscious choice to be uncool to the point of alienation is about one of the coolest things anyone can do of course. I knew girls like that in high school, they would walk in the baggy pants, and they couldn’t have weighed maybe 95lbs, so fragile but definitely tied down to the whole teen angst thing, a sick cry for attention/help. How old do you think Lisa was? Around 18 or more towards 22? The more act they put on, the more desperate er uh.. cool it seems.

Someone really should give her an iPod just to play with for a few minutes. I was all “:rolleyes: iPods” until I actually tried one and now I have a 60 gig 5th gen. I don’t understand how people can live without one.
