I NEVER mentioned that homosexuality was a choice, did I? I mentioned that Katy Perry is pimping out bisexuality, and therefore makes it difficult to believe it is realistic.

I never said don’t judge people. I always judge people, especially half-naked women who coo about making out with other women. I think some judgments are more fair than others, but excuse me for doubting the legitimacy of her sexuality.

Something about an attractive woman in a miniskirt writhing around singing “I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT” just screams, “I’m trying to give you a hard on”. When she says “I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it” doesn’t sound like she’s trying to suggest that he fantasizes about it and gets randy at the thought of two girls making out. I bet the overly sexualized tone of voice and music video were a coincidence. I bet you that wasn’t on purpose.

I bet you’ve never judged a single person in your life. You must be the most naive person in the world if you don’t believe in judgment.

Or, there’s option C where they stay true to who they are, respect GLBTs, and try not to capitalise on the libidinous exploitation of sexual identity in order to sell records and get famous.

“And it is cool for girls to like girls. Not a lot of hetero men are going to have a problem with their girlfriend kissing another girl, so I have a problem calling it ‘cheating’.”

First off, that is one heck of a blatant assumption. Just about every man I know would feel pretty crushed if their wife or girlfriend was stepping out on them with another woman behind their backs. In fact, I’ve known a couple of guys that this has happened to, and the emotional trauma is fairly significant.

You’re right about one thing though, anon., there’s not a drop of philosophical significance to this song (generally, there has to be something intelligent before there’s anything philosoiphical), but it does say a lot about us as a society, and I don’t think very much of it is good, either. We can start with how absolutely aphilosophical this bit of trash is…

No matter what the scene, poseurs irritate the hell out of me. When Avril Lavigne claims to be a punk, I start to twitch. When Paris Hilton started going on about her deep sense of spirituality (that lasted, what, two weeks?) it made me squint in pain. I’m not gay, so I can’t say this with any first-hand knowledge, but I imagine if I were gay, and someone who obviously had nothing more than a flinching interest in homosexuality used that as a means of whoring themselves, objectifying homosexuals, and getting rich in the process, I think I’d be pretty pissed off about that, too.
