I don’t know what it is*, but I’m feeling really irritable today, and this Madonna shit is not helping. Her remarks about Lady Gaga happen within the first minute or so of the video, so you don’t have to hear her annoying voice for too long, but if you just can’t handle it today, basically she says that she asked Lady Gaga to perform with her, but Lady Gaga refused. I know, that doesn’t sound too extreme, but she said it in her usual condescending way, and why can’t she just shut her f-cking mouth about Lady Gaga? Why is that such a hard thing to do?
*I do know what it is. It’s Facebook. People I know are actually saying that Obama’s re-election is a sign that the world really is going to end this year. And they’re serious. People are saying that the world is “doomed,” and that the election doesn’t matter after all since the world will be ending in December anyway. And also, many people apparently don’t understand that the U.S. is not a theocracy, or that Obama is a president, not a wizard. It’s getting old quick, friends.
Preach it girl! Facebook is evil.
Aww Emily, and this is why unfriending exists! (Though spell check assures me it does not.) Here are a few quotes from my facebook news feed, to redress the balance and cheer you up:
“please universe, don’t make me wake up to a world with President Romney tomorrow morning….”
“Well done, America, chose the right man for the job”
“Phew! thank goodness for that! Go Obama, Go Obama”
“Well, thank goodness for that Mr Obama!!”
“Happy, HAPPY days!”
But then I’m in the UK, and by now everyone has stopped talking about it :)
