Giving Junkies A Bad Name

http://journalofajunkie.blogspot.com



Why do I object? She:



1. Quotes the Cranberries' "Salvation". Of all the bazillion anti-heroin songs out there, this is the most obvious, the least subtle, the least artistic of the lot. It might as well have a tagline at the end that says "sponsored by the Office of National Drug Control Policy".



2. Refers to things she does not like as being "gay" (or the emphatic, "ultra-gay".) This is a peeve of mine on many, MANY levels, but for the most basic explanation I refer you to my Kurt Cobain post.



3. Refers to herself as a "Juggalette". (A "Juggalette", for those of you who have been blessed enough not to have encountered this information, is the female form of "Juggalo". A "Juggalo" is a fan of Insane Clown Posse, a pair of individuals whose followers actually have the gall to dignify them with the appellation "band". My problem with that use of the term is very simple: A true "band", boys and girls, has one qualification which Insane Clown Posse does NOT possess, namely: A "band" does not suck massive pustulent donkey balls. (Well, except for Rod Stewart's 1977 touring band...and that was more a lifestyle choice than anything else....But as usual, I digress.)



4. Is sixteen years old. If you're going to fuck up your life, have the decency to wait til you're self-supporting to do so.



5. Is more self-absorbed, and has the least-deserved sense of her own superiority, of almost any other blogger I've ever read. I have no problem with the usual belief system that adults are stupid--some adults ARE stupid, yes. As are some teenagers, most notably those who think no one in the world knows as much as they do.



Despite the promising title, I won't be going back to THAT blog anytime soon. (And I thought MY blog was needlessly self-indulgent.)

  1. #3? Priceless. I had a fucktard ex-boyfriend who liked the Insane Clown Posse, and THAT, my friend, was "the story of WHY?"

    Also, thanks for the link. That makes me happy inside, partly because you don't hate my blog as much as hers. :)
