PETA has reached a new level of stupidity

September 26, 2008 at 6:34 am (Uncategorized) (, , , , , , )

This is from wnbc.com:

VERMONT — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow’s milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.

“PETA’s request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow’s milk in the food he serves,” the statement says.

PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.

“The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn’t make sense,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Everyone knows that ‘the breast is best,’ so Ben & Jerry’s could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk.”

In a statement Ben and Jerry’s said, “We applaud PETA’s novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother’s milk is best used for her child.”

 

I’m not even sure how to start.  Breast milk???  For ice cream?  I would NEVER EVER EVER eat ice cream again, I really wouldn’t.  That’s sick and gross.   And do COWS a big favor?  SINCE WHEN DO COWS NEED A FAVOR????  THEY ARE COWS!!!!!   They don’t ask for favors!  You know why?  BECAUSE THEY CAN’T SPEAK.  THEY ARE ANIMALS.  They are not capable of that kind of “thought process” or even having those kind of emotions, because they are FREAKING COWS.

OH PETA.  Man, it seems like anybody could work for the marketing for this “company”.  I also love how they say humans drinking milk meant for baby cows doesn’t make sense.  REALLY PETA???  Cause it’s worked for literally thousands of years…. why does it all of the sudden NOT MAKE SENSE????  YOU do not make sense. 

I appreciate Ben and Jerry’s having the common knowledge to say NO to this (and in such a pleasant way… bravo Ben & Jerry’s!)   I can now continue to have ice cream without worrying about the milk used in it having been squeezed out of some random women’s breast…. SICK.

BOOOOO Kenley!!

September 25, 2008 at 4:26 am (Uncategorized) (, , , , , , , , )

Dear Kenley from Project Runway,

Who in the hell do you think you are?!?!  I’d like to know, because I am CONFUSED.  Ok, ok, I’m getting worked up… let’s start from the beginning.

Kenley, when Project Runay began, I adored you.  I love your personal style.  You’re pale, and I LOVE pale girls who rock it out, because I am pale.  You have gorgeous chesnut hair and always pop that cute little red lip.  Your style is so adorable 40’s, I was L-O-V-I-N-G you!!!  PLUS your designs were awesome, for sure some of the best.  It only helped that your cute style was unique and very YOU.

THEN…. you got a little sassy…. and not in the fun, gay way Christian was sassy.  In a “uhhhhh… whhhhhhhhhaaaatttt?” kinda way.  I thought… “well it’s just got to be this one episode, sure she laughs at other people, but at least she’s doing it to their faces.”  And you were still desiging super cute outfits, so how could I hate you when other designers (I mean YOU Blayne and Suede) were designing crap, but were clearly there cause they had “personalities”. 

But these past two weeks you have done the UNTHINKABLE…. you questioned and disregarded THE GUNN.  For those of you who don’t know who I am talking about… you should be ashamed.  Tim Gunn, my fashion hero.  Most people know about my love of Tim Gunn.  I love every second of Project Runway when he’s in it.  I literally don’t understand half of the words he uses, but I love it.  TIM GUNN IS ALWAYS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!  COME ON Kenley!!  This is what, the 5th season of Project Runway?  Did you not watch it before you applied?!?!  Tim Gunn has NEVER been wrong about ANY outfit in the ENTIRE history of Project Runway.  Which brings me back to the beginning… who on EARTH do you think you are???  NOT TIM GUNN!  And not only did you not listen… you talked back to him, SASSED him, then MADE FUN of him!!

I don’t even know what to think.  I wanted YOU to go home over SUEDE.  I don’t know if you can appreciate the impact of that statement.  I could not stand Suede.  He designed one cute thing the entire time… ONE… and it actually wasnt even all that cute.  He talked in third person… WHO DOES THAT?!?!  But he was too stupid to keep it up!  He’d start the sentence “Suede thinks this week will rock.  I am going to do awesome.”  If you’re going to be an idiot and speak in 3rd person, at least commit and do it 100% of the time.  Keeping ALL OF THAT in mind, I still wanted you to go home.  You said, “Ummm I think I know more about hip-hop than Tim Gunn.”  Clearly, you didn’t.  I would rather go outside in my underwear than wear those high-waisted monstrosities you created.  And adding gold earrings and necklaces… NOT HIP HOP.  Then you tried to blame poor Leanne.  I mean… OBVIOUSLY she isn’t hip-hop and couldn’t act hip hop for any amount of money.  She is an adorably dweeby white girl.  The opposite of anything hip-hop.  Just like you’re not pop, but you looked it cause Jerrell created you a GOOD outfit.

Now, you were safe this week.  Next week I think you should LISTEN TO TIM GUNN!  You’ve been in the botom 2 weeks in a row because you wouldn’t listen to him when he told you EXACTLY what the judges ended up critiquing you on.  Don’t ever question or mess with The Gunn.  He knows best… ALWAYS.  I mean, have you EVER seen him look anything less than impeccable?  NO!!!!  He’s on 2 TV shows and is the creative director for Liz Claiborne… he KNOWS more than you sweet cheeks!

Bring back the old Kenley.  The one who doesn’t act like a bratty 13 year old who is going to do her own thing regardless of someone TRYING TO HELP YOU!!!  You listen to Tim, you make the final 3… as simple as that.  Don’t talk back, just do what he says.  That’s the formula of the show.  Think about it. 

Love,

Jessica, Tim Gunn’s #1 fan!

One Tree Hill…. really?

September 23, 2008 at 5:07 am (Uncategorized) (, , , , , )

Dear One Tree Hill,

I LOVE the fact that you are suppossed to be a drama.  You are the funniest show I have ever seen.  Probably for all the wrong reasons.  Your “hot lead actor” Chad Micheal Murray is not that hot.  I don’t buy that 3 different girls would be head over heels in love with him.  His brother?  Perhaps!  And I don’t buy anyone would want to go back to this town.  I mean, they didn’t even do that in Dawson’s Creek, they moved them!!

The thing about your show is that it’s like a soap opera… and not in a good way.  The acting sucks… like in soap operas.  When that kid just died in your show I lost it because of the theatrics.  I am the EASIEST person to make cry during a show.  Let me list the ridiculousness I’ve cried during: The Hills (a few times), Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (the one where Carlton takes wills drugs from his locker… classic), Dawsons Creek, Gossip Girl, Friends, Felicity, Sex and the City, Will & Grace, The Office, and many many more (i DO notice many of these are comedies).

So in tonight’s stupidity, (the lead star b-ball  player apparently died last week) you decided to have your hot rod say, “We’re going to play with only 4 players tonight… to honor Que.” To which someone said… “its gonna be a tough loss.”  To which overdramatic, wishes he was as cute as pacey from dawsons creek, says, “It’s not about winning, it’s about healing.”  HAHAHAHA… No you jackass, it’s about WINNING!!  That’s what basketball is!  Are you kidding me?  That kid’s probably looking down on them saying… “what the hell?  Honor me by LOSING?!?!  Play five people and win, you idiots!!”.  Don’t worry…. it gets better (or worse… I like to say better cause I’m optimistic)  In the locker room as they talk about how they lost with 4 players (the only redeeming factor here is that they didnt make them win… that would have been a little too much).  One of the genius’s on the team says, “Coach we want to play with 4 players for the rest of the season.”  hahahahahhaha…. NO HIGH SCHOOL KID WOULD EVER SAY THAT?!?!  Do you even KNOW how competitve boys are?  I mean they’re bad as men, but WAY worse as boys.  I love it sooooo much.  Man, I don’t know who wrote this script but they have GOT TO BE losing it while they write it.  There is NO WAY they think that’s sweet.  I won’t even get started on how you literally cannot play with 4 people… that’s too obvious.  When the ref said that they couldn’t play with 4 unless everyone else was hurt… the coach said, “We’re all hurt.”  Oooohhhhhh Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

BUT what makes you TRULY hysterical isn’t just the horrific lines and plot “twists”, it’s the second…. no make the like 10th rate acting you have on your show.  Skillz (who is CLEARLY the black guy in the show, I’m  glad you didn’t make it stereotypical at all) is awful.  He is You Got Served bad acting…. without the cool dancing to make you not care.  Lucas (I think?) is awful.  He always has that “Dramatic and trying to be sultry but failing” look on his not that good-looking face.  What makes it awesome is that he delivers every line like the ending one in a politician’s speech.  With the dramatic music playing in the background… it gets to be a little too much.

You DO have SOME redeeming factors:  That adorable little child … who is, ironically the best actor on the show.  The lead guy’s brother, is very cute.  He’s not a good actor at all either, but at least he’s cute.  The girl who plays his wife is also adorable.  Sure everything they both say and do is ridiculous, but they’re cute.  Then the one girls voice…. i forget her character’s name… but her REAL name is Sophia Bush, is awesome.  I wish I talked like that.  I think thats actually the reason people tune in… to hear her voice. 

I know why people like you though, One tree Hill.  Well… I know why young girls like you, I have no idea why any self-respecting adult would.  You have “cute” guys on it and even if you don’t really want to watch, you feel like you have to.  I’d compare you to a train wreck… I just cant look away.  However, with a train wreck you’re fascinated with sadness, with this show you HAVE to laugh.  You’re like this generation’s less original, less talented, less creative, and less ground-breaking Dawson’s Creek.  My suggestion?  Just play re-runs of Dawson’s Creek, it was LEAGUES better.

I LOVE cheesiness and dramatic shows, I do.  Gossip Girl= awesomeness.  But One Tree Hill… you have GOT to pull yourself together.  Fire half the cast, stop playing the music, and fire the writers… they’re totally punking you.  Or actually, you are pretty amusing, so just keep it up so I can watch in disbelief and amusement.

Laughing at you (not with you),

Jessica

An ode to my beautiful acrylic nails

September 22, 2008 at 4:00 am (Uncategorized) (, , , , , )

Dear acrylic nails,

You are gorgeous.  I love you.  You make my regular nails look beautiful!!  I enjoy getting you for many different reasons. 

One, my nails never grow, are too thin, and I for some reason cannot paint nails.  Really, I can’t.  It’s so easy, some guys can even do this.  But I’ve never been able to simply paint my nails, and if I do they chip and look ugly.  This was a problem, until you came along, acrylic nails.  You’ve saved me from having to paint my own nails, ugly chips, and extremely short nails.

Two, I totally bite my nails.  I can’t bite through you acrylic nails, so it works in my favor.  I don’t bite my nails to death and they dont look ugly!  Win-Win (win)

Three, I like getting my nails done, it’s relaxing and fun.  I don’t have a lot of money to do things for myself, but since you, my friends, aren’t too expensive, I can get you and have an hour or so to relax and chat with the wonderful ladies who do my nails.

Four, with my normal nails I have this uncontrollable (really, I’ve tried to control it, I can’t), subconcious thing where I pick at the skin around my nails until it bleeds.  BUT since you guys are a lot thicker I can’t do this and now I dont need 10 bandaids and my fingers don’t hurt all the time!!

Five, you are just SO pretty.  AND I can get OPI nail polish put on instead of buying it (it can be a little pricey).  You look almost natural and that’s what I like about you.  Plus at the place I go to they have movies playing while I get my nails done.  I’d never go see or rent Hairspray… but thanks to Nail Love, I’ve now seen it AND enjoyed it :)

So thanks for your beauty, durabilty, and hour of relaxation you give me twice a month.  I appreciate it and I appreciate YOU!

Not ashamed of fake nails,

Jessica :)

P.S. This is dedicated to Valuna… love ya girl!!!!

Iphone= stupid

September 21, 2008 at 1:49 am (Uncategorized)

Dear Apple iphone,

You think you’re SOOOOOO cool.  “oooohhh look at me I’m a completely over-priced phone, mp3 player, camera, and computer in one!  I’m the best piece of technology EVER”.  Well I’m here to tell you all the reasons this is NOT true.

1. You supposedly have a “touch screen”.  However, it only works with your fingertips.  This is stupid.  I have beautiful (and slightly fake) nails that I pay good money for.  If my garmin, which isn’t suppossed to be as high-tech, works when I push it with my nails, WHY CAN’T YOU?!?!  For crying out loud, you can even use your nails on the JCPenney’s cash registers, but not on you, oh superior iphone.  Lots of girls have long nails and this creates a problem for them.  Not so “User-friendly” now, are we?

2. You run out of power quickly.  I mean, you’d think you’d have a stronger battery since you can use this for EVERYTHING IN LIFE!  It should last more than a few hours (that’s what she said).

3. Sometimes not knowing the immediate answer is OK.  There is NOTHING more annoying when you’re having a discussion or argument and some dweeb, who now thinks he’s cool cause he owns you, is all “let me look this up on my iphone”.  I’d like to throw you in a glass of water when this happens.

4. You’re pretty large and wouldn’t fit in my cute clutches.  Once again, this bothers me because you didn’t think about women enough.  Sure you can download a star wars light saver (is that what they’re called?) but really….. I mean… really what good does that do ANYONE, especially if I can’t carry you around at night??

5. You can’t recieve picture mail.  My green screen old phone could do that!!  I can’t send funny pictures of myself to people with iphones, and I would really like to.  Tell me, iphone, why can’t you do this simple thing?  Every other “normal not as technologically advanced” phone can do this without a problem, but you can’t?

Those are my reasons for thinking you are stupid and a waste of money.  Plus you distract people who own you and give them a false sense of superiority.  Plus you come out with “new and improved” models far too often and people feel the need to buy this new model, which probably isn’t too different (I discovered that from the new ipod nano…. oh tricky, tricky apple).

So my point is you’re not that high tech if you have all these problems, so stop claiming to be.  I miss the simple times… when phones were just used as phones and alarm clocks.  You’ve ruined cell phones forever and I will never forgive you!

Not impressed,

Jessica
