Just to get people talking.

I have a habit, in real life, of saying really offensive things just to spur debate and shock people. A lot of it revolves around making misogynistic comments, but that's mostly because there are a lot of stupid women in the building. See, if this were in real life, I might say something like 'stupid women? Isn't that redundant?' I think what I'm going to say is offensive, I don't really know. I'm bad at judging these sort of things.

I was assuming that there'd be more talk about the Oscars. I mean, you're all faggots who read this, right?

I didn't actually watch all of the Oscars; I spent part of Sunday night rocking out, in case you've forgotten. I caught a part where Chris Rock was doing some sort of comedy bit (I don't find Chris Rock all that funny, to tell the truth) where he went to a movie theatre and asked the common man, i.e. black people, whether or not they've seen the movies nominated.

"Sideways? Never heard of it."
"Million Dollar Baby? Hell no"
"Aviator? That's the one with the guy from the Beach, right?"
"My favorite movie this year? Saw."
"Finding Neverland? Finding wha?"
"White Chicks? Now that's one funny movie"


And the only thing that I could think of to say was "Wow. Black people have absolutely no taste."

That's pretty racist of me to say, right? I mean, I live in Wisconsin, and have been pretty sheltered from African American culture. Hell, I didn't even go to school with a black person until junior high, and even then, they were only half-black. I go to one of the whitest schools in the country, with only 2% of enrolled students.

Chris Rock might have thought that he was making a point that the Oscars are hopelessly out of touch with everyday people, but in reality it backfired, for little ol' sheltered me, at least.
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
