Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I STILL have Blurred Lines stuck in my head. And I still don't understand why this song is getting so much publicity for being offensive. Even though it is offensive.
Mostly because of the video. (The YouTube version, not the "clean" one they show on TV.)
Maybe I should watch? Or not....

Not if you're on a work computer. Basically, he sings the song while leering into the camera, while mostly-naked women (they're wearing skin-tone panties, but that's it) dance around him with random props.
Yeah, I feel like enjoying that song (though not really the video) means I have like, bought in to rape culture, or something. Oh well.
I did enjoy the gender-switched video from some boilesque folks in Seattle, though.
Jesse, that is more than a bit ridiculous indeed! I just shake my head at those people, or who think they can get $2k for their couch or whatever. Lady, it might've cost you $4K ten years ago, but nobody wants it for $2K.
You can tell yourself you're enjoying the parts lifted from Marvin Gaye.
I haven't heard the song all the way through or seen the video, so my highly informed understanding was that it was specifically the video that was problematic, not the song itself.
Eh, parts of the song are all "you know you want it" and about how she's a good girl but he just has to convince her she wants it, etc etc. Which is indeed a bit "No means Yes".
But I will go with the "marvin gaye' answer, I like it! Last night at dancing they played the WEIRDEST remix of--it was like we were supposed to POLKA to it. Which, no.
I have gotten so when people talk about Blurred Lines, I get Got to Give It Up in my head.
...but then, who's got to give what up??
I've never understood the people who think that they should get $90 for something that's $100 new.
I have to pat myself on the back because, while I may not have done the one work task that's been on my to-do list forever, I did delete or file more than 1000 emails today.
Could someone who understands taxes better than I explain something about the same sex IRS ruling? In Utah, you have to file your state taxes with the same category as you do your federal taxes. I can't file jointly as fed and single on my state. How do people who are legally married but not in the state they're living in get around that? Or is that a state by state thing?
