Quickies! vol. 2

Too long to tweet, too short for a full blog post, it’s Quickies!

How to write the perfect dating app bio:

1.  Type in all the lyrics from Ani DiFranco’s “Not A Pretty Girl.”
2.  Wait.

I might have missed my calling in the military, because I LOVE pleasing authority figures.  Almost as much as I enjoy mocking them, which is tantamount to insubordination, so there is that.  Also guns terrify me.

You can tell that Alanis Morissette is Canadian because in her song “Ironic,” the man who is afraid to fly laughs at the irony as the one and only plane he has ever flown on crashes.  
If that guy were an American, he wouldn’t be laughing in that moment, he’d be screaming at the poor stewardess “MY GHOST IS GONNA SUE THE CRAP OUT OF THIS AIRLINE!!!”

I think a lot about child actors, especially because I watch a lot of
Law & Order: SVU
.  I don’t just think about the child actors who
have to go on the show and pretend to have been molested – that’s
creepy enough to think about (like how messed up is your young life as
an actor being shuttled from one procedural drama to another, tearfully
confessing on camera that you were touched by your basketball coach?
Young actors must PRAY for the light-hearted relief of getting cast in
some fluffy Disney channel sitcom).  I’m also curious about all the
“child pornography” they have on the show.  That can’t be real, right? 
Which means somehow, someday, they cast a bunch of young girls to do a
photo shoot in lipstick and lingerie in a dimly lit room, looking very
sad.  How do you move on, as a child, from spending the day in a parent-sanctioned child porn photo shoot to having a normal childhood?  That creeps me out.

  1. Did you hear that someone who worked on L&O (original) was arrested for child porn? I was like WOW, of ALL the shows…

    1. Oh my god, talk about "ripped from the headlines"! IRONY!!!

  2. Dying over Fuckerdoodle and the irony of the plane crash. Also, with you on the SVU images. Never thought about it until now and now I'm also going to stop thinking about it before I fuck up my whole day.

    1. RIGHT?! I think about it all the time and it's so weird to me. Every time there's a kid on that show I'm like, "What does he do between takes? What is her life like?"

  3. SVU did an episode where they showed Olivia a computer generated child porn of her (creepy sexy child-Olivia).
    Maybe that's what they do.

    1. Maybe! I also wonder about the adult actors posing for fake porn…like I'm thinking of the episode where the guy kept women prisoner and photographed them in wedding dresses? I CAUGHT THEM reusing one of those victim photos in a later episode! It's like WHAT?!? It was on a desk and it was just randomly in a scene and I was like EASTER EGG!!
