I saw this linked to with disdain on LJ. well, liked to a page that reproduced it, but everyone on that page seemed suitably horrified. The originating site, however, has a great deal of commentary (3000+ comments).
It's weird, because I don't think of blogs as communities, since they're so driven by the entries, but it's clear that at least for this one entry there is one--not sure (and don't have enough time to find out) if it's the same community that spans more entries of the same blog.
All that having been said, I have a hard time believing the blog entry is serious.
Tommy, give it at least three minutes. When you open it, do it very slowly--just break the seal first to see if it's going to fizz all over.
"Obviously, God does not want us listening to flute music."
This is *clearly* why I never made it as a professional musician.

Also? Open over a sink.

My dad picked up the flute a few years after I gave it up. He was,um, enthusiastic. No pianissimo for him. I'm pretty sure any and all dieties were cringing. Goodness knows the cats were.
Well, if you're gonna argue about the phallic nature of the flute, you also have to look at the trombone. And also the harmonica, which was named after a non-procreative sexual practice....
the phallic nature of the flute
You don't even put the end in your mouth! Clarinets and oboes are way more phallic.
... It's possible I've had this knee-jerk reaction before.
I played the clarinet. I think that's WAY more phallic in nature than the flute.
x-post: BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, fipple flutes you do. (But I'm sure that they're not making that distinction.)
ION, check out this pup's giant ears!
Hey shrift and Jilli - did you see Idolator ranked Patrick Stump as the second-hottest dude in music?
I'm always pleased when others recognize the hotness of Patrick Stump! But seriously, how is Clay Aiken hotter than Gerard Way? That's so wrong I can't even call it insane troll logic.
