"If your boyfriend wants a three-way with you and his hot, underage Chilean housekeeper and you deny him, it's bad for his self esteem and will only make him look to another woman if you don't give him what he wants."
"If your boyfriend asks you to buy Christmas presents for all his other lovers and you say no, then what you're really saying is that you don't want to be his girlfriend anymore."
"If your boyfriend asks you to take his serrated kitchen knife and 'hide it somewhere for awhile' and you quickly realize it is covered in dried blood and clumps of long hair and you say, 'Hell no, I'm not taking this', that says you're just not supportive enough of him and he should leave you for someone who stands by him."
"If your boyfriend wants to comment anonymously on a gossip blog about how jacked-up it is for you to be a role model for other young women who might actually listen to you, by all means, let him do it."
Devendra Banhart! I was trying to remember his name this weekend!!
The most I could come up with was "That hipster dude that dated Princess Naboo...you know who I am talking about right? His hair looks like a Beefeater's hat...?"
@Lysergic Asset: This happens to me too. Whenever one of them is mentioned I spend a good fifteen minutes OCDing in my head "Django Devendra Django Devendra"
So are we to assume that Rihanna is over the whole "getting beat in the face" thing? Because it sounds to me that she's not done sending "sexy girl" pics to Chris "Bust me up" Brown anytime soon. And you know what that means. Reunion!
(Argh. Why do we even bother caring? She should never really speak in public without supervision.)
@Spirit Fingers: I meant to send my monologue (see top of page) in response to what you said, because it was your comment that prompted me to write it.
I'm going to just say it. I cannot stand Rihanna. I think she cannot sing and her songs are crap. I have no idea how she scored a record deal in the first place aside from having "the look" that was marketable. And she needs to go away if she continues making these ridiculous comments. She needs to go away anyway.
@DahlELama: @7states: She said she was speaking out because she realized the influence she has on young girls. So by that logic she is now convincing young girls to text naked pictures of themselves? Yeah, like that's going to end well for everyone involved.
@mfnher: Ah, yes, because she didn't have any influence on young girls until about a month ago...when her album was released! Fortunately, she got it just in time to help tweens make poor decisions that will haunt them forever. Phew.
Sometimes the popular press burbles up a quote that just takes one's breath away.
if you don't send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him
I'm not even pro or con this sentiment; I'm just awestruck, pondering how a million or so individuals -- who no doubt think of themselves as worldly, and with some justification -- are going to try to process that comment.
Personally, I can't wait. Don't let me down, cultural indignation and knee-jerk reactions!
I'm happy to get naked pictures of my girlfriend, but I don't see why, exactly you'd absolutely have to have them. In general you can see your girlfriend naked in person if you want.
@drunkexpatwriter: Exactly. As a woman, I don't understand this. Seeing it in a photo doesn't do anything for me. Having it right in front of me is the only thing getting worked up about.
I'm married and my husband can see my bits any time he wants. Of course, I suspect (and don't even mind) that he would rather see photos of other women's bits.
C'mon, Gawker. You just broke a cardinal rule of entertainment journalism: The words "Will Ferrell" and "genius" may never appear in the same paragraph. Focus, people.
@kappakappaspankme: Had he been able to see a few years into the future, I'm sure he would've added a kick in the nads. Which would also have been completely justified.

You know who I feel bad for, RiRi? People in abusive relationships.

With my girlfriend I can not only see her bits I can smell, touch and taste them!

Bits is just UK slang for pussy.
