not people in a homeless shelter.

For sure.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to make the audience feel uncomfortable. You don't get Bono to sing that line if you're intending to endorse privilege.

This is why it drove me crazy that they were all doing their huge performance grins all through the song. You're singing about droughts, ffs, and people starving. Put on your Serious Face.

Yes, but the audience is supposed to be other priviledged people in the position to provide help, not people in a homeless shelter.

Indeed, but we were (at that point) talking about the line in the context of the song, not the song in context of Glee. I haven't seen that ep yet, of course (hasn't aired in Australia).

save yourself!

I did not care for this week's Glee. I kind of see what they were going for, but no. I always feel like humanizing Sue is a bad move.

More importantly, I am up to Communication Studies in my crash course of Community seasons past and Hungover Abed is love. "Movie reference."

On which note, I think it's the most powerful line in the song. The rest of it is all "isn't this awful?"; this is the line that asks, "If you think it's awful, what are you going to do about it?"

I guess so. I've never thought about it that deeply, to be honest.

I really need to rewatch that. I can't seem to stop rewatching the last ep though.

Also, we need to do that Community watch we were talking about.

Yes, we do!

What the hell, SAG?! No nominations for Homeland? Are you on crack? Also, an ensemble nomination for Glee? Really? The majority of those people couldn't act their way out of a paper bag!

I beg to differ, I think there's excellent acting going on from Morrison, Lynch, Jones, Colfer, Michele, and Monteith, and decent work from a goodly number of the others. Admittedly they're mostly waging a losing battle against nonsensical plots, random characterization, and horribly unnatural dialog, but that show has a great deal of onscreen talent for the writers to waste.

Hee hee hee. Vampire arms! And Bert and Ernie!

I'll try not to come in here after every episode, but ... vampire arms!
