This is one for all of you who turned me on to Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
(It got cut off but it says "Every guy who is tired of hearing how cute and wonderful jgl is".)
I thought this was relevant to this blog's interests because "turning racist" (really misogynist) and/or getting involved with a racist band was obviously such a huge turning point, and was part of what created this blog and drawing everyone here. I also thought it was really funny.
But thank you JGL fans. For introducing me to a little movie called Brick. It was a masterpiece. I just watched Stop Loss recently and he was really good in that too.
Happy new year (sorry it's late) and I hope everyone is having a great year!

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 2256 Newer› Newest»Nah, we hate her because she's a racist idiot and proud of being one. Try again!
And Gerard's also an idiot, a sexist misogynist one. So your logic fails. We hate him too.
Lolita wasn't written by a Racist Bassist. That's one difference.
Just what I thought. I doubt any of you have even read Lolita or heard of Lenny Bruce. You can't even answer my question logically.
This place is a joke.
FYI, Lolita showed the consequences of the abuse of the young girl by Humbert Humbert -- both to the victim and the perpetrator. It was a very tragic novel. Panty Shot makes light of child abuse.
Are you sure that you read Lolita?
Then why are you here? Why are you just desperately wanting to defend a racist idiot like Lindsey? Let us hate her for her racist fail and move on. Telling people what can and can't offend them is dumb, and usually the tool of racist enablers and defenders. Maybe you should drive through South Central with some MSI blasting out and see how long you survive.
As for Lenny Bruce, his routine didn't do anything to lessen the sting of the racist slurs he used.
I agree with him in principle, but the truth is, racist and sexist slurs still hurt. MSI isn't doing anything to make that stop by using them, especially since their audience is about 99 per cent white.
If racist slurs still hurt, it's because people give them power. The words need to be taken back so they have no power. Why can't you people understand that?
Jimmy Urine is a white male. How can he "take back" a racist or sexist slur?
Sense. You make none.
As far as I can tell, MSI is not, and has never tried to "take back power" by using offensive words. They've always been a stupid, faux rock band trying to shock or offend people.
Words like n*****, f*****, etc need to stop being used period. You can't use them positively, especially the word n*****. It has a painful history behind it.
If you don't realize that it's not acceptable for a white male to reclaim a word on behalf of POC, then I really, really don't know what to say to you. Do you even know about slavery? The history of POC? What white men did and continue to do to black people?
Jesus fucking christ.
Just what I thought. I doubt any of you have even read Lolita or heard of Lenny Bruce. You can't even answer my question logically.
This place is a joke.
Seriously are you that ignorant and desperate to justify your friend and her crappy band?
Are you trying to compare Panty Shot, a "song" about someone stalking a five year old child, a child straight out of infancy, with malicious intent, to a tragic satiric novel about the abuse of a 12 year old child?
You are the joke.
If I also remember correctly, LynZ mentioned something that the intent of the song was to make the listener challenge the lyrics of other songs or some other stupid nonsense to that effect.
If racist slurs still hurt, it's because people give them power. The words need to be taken back so they have no power. Why can't you people understand that?
It's the connotation to the words that has the power and until you remove it's connotation, it is highly unlikely, it will always be a slur word used in the context for demeaning.
^which is
Jimmy Urine has said over and over that MSI has no message and that MSI is just out to make a buck. So why can't their pig-headed fans get that through their heads?
Why does everyone think Lindsey is racist? what did she do?
I get pissed off at anyone using satire as reason to be able to offend. And hey, it's funny, so that's OK. There are no rules, apparantly. What is right and what is wrong? I find it uncomfortable.
It's a fine line to tread sometimes.
Why does everyone think Lindsey is racist? what did she do?
Lindsey is nothing in terms of what MSI write or create. She is not the brains behind it, that is Jimmy Piss's job. She contributed nothing in that respect. Well, nothing more than standing there plucking bass strings along to Jimmy's satirical lyrics. Some might say that she is as bad as him. I don't think she gave it a second thought until she met GW, and then she wanted to do some damage control. Hence the pro feminist blah blah blah interviews in 2008 era.
but why do people think she's racist?
I agree 2:40. I don't think she cared about anything apart from wanting to live the rock star life even if it took joining a shock rock band.
Because she didn't seem to have a problem to the music she played to, until she married into MCR.
but why do people think she's racist?
You need to go trawl your way through MSI's so called satirical lyrics. Or back read on this blog from the beginning.
awright lol
Lol, Elmer Fudd strikes again.
Thanks for posting the link to Mumford and Sons, Kapunua.
There is so much good music out there right now that is not MCR and that isn't trying to push some stupid "pop art" crap on people. Honestly, I think Gerard is so out of the loop on what his demographic is. Most arty kids I know listen to ~beardy-sleepy~ Indie music. He's trying to go after the Pop crowd who is into Lady Gaga right now, but I think they're the most fickle group of listeners out there. If they do like what MCR is doing now, they won't like them next week.
Elmer Fudd...awright XD
I think you should just listen to any style of music if you like it. I wouldn't classify myself into any group or genre.
I agree, but Gerard is the one who was talking about being in a 'cage match' with Pop in NME. I think he's trying too hard.
so are you
Meaning?
Any band that manages to sell 200,000+ copies of a cd is to be considered a big success these days. The music industry has changed so much with the internet.
The publishing industry as a whole has changed so much.
Any band that manages to sell 200,000+ copies of a cd is to be considered a big success these days.
That's kind of sad, considering how many people have their hands in the pie. Not too many $$ rolling in with 200,000 copies.
If racist slurs still hurt, it's because people give them power. The words need to be taken back so they have no power. Why can't you people understand that?
How the HELL is it up to you to decide what hurts people of different races/creeds/persuasions? How special is your privileged ass that you get to tell people not to react to being called slurs?
Jesus christ, the ignorance.
Oh, and hey, anons! ^_^ Glad you liked the Mumford and Sons, glad I'm not the only one out there having a listen to them. :D
Also very glad you guys like that JGL pic.
Have you all heard JGL's song "Words We're Wailing?" It's really, really awesome.
Anybody watching Charlie Sheen's live ustream at 7 pacific time (about 20 minutes from now)?
Don't know about anyone else but I've been a Mumford fan for over 3 years. They fuckin rock live.
Didn't somebody here say rockabilly was dead? Well M&S, A bros and KoL all prove you wrong.
Rockabilly is alive and well.
Buddy Holly would be so proud. I know Bob Dylan is.
No.
I had no idea they' been around for so long! :)
Check this out.
Words We're Wailing with background singalongs mixed in from tons of different people. I really love Joe's voice here, and I love love love the lyrics, too!
Rockabilly is still live and kickin' in the hills of West Virginia...i say this from many years of attending the Vandalia Gathering
I would not classify Mumford and Sons as 'rockabilly'. They fall more into contemporary folk.
KOL is straight up blues inspired rock n roll, with a bit of country thrown in, although lately they've been going more the experimental route, probably a result of having toured with Radiohead.
"We didn't just make a sleepy-beardy-artsy-fartsy record either, we did make a big art pop record, so it's not like a bid to become a cult band or retreat into that"
-- Gerard Way, NME
I think that comment was directed at KOL specifically, because they came out with a much more low key record in response to their breakthrough success here in the US with Only by the Night, which obviously made the band a bit uncomfortable. Come Around Sundown is definitely a "sleepy" record. Despite that, it has outsold Danger Days by a pretty big margin. I think that gripes Gerard's ass, seeing as how KOL is popular with the 18-25 year old male demographic, which MCR would kill for.
Joe has a really nice voice. I continue to be impressed by him.
Just ignore Gerard Way. He is a twit. That's why he married another one.
What I don't get is how Come Around Sundown was the 11th highest selling record of 2010, with around 700,000 in sales as of January 1st, yet supposedly MCR sold more than a million by January, when it came out a month later and never charted as high as Come Around Sundown did anywhere. In fact, CAS is still in Billboard's top 100 (while DD languishes at 174) and is in the Global top 40 (which DD fell out of in about 4 weeks). It makes no sense. In fact, it's downright impossible. :/
Simple. The Danger Days figure is bogus. Stop worrying about it. In the scheme of things, who cares if their fans exaggerate their sales figures?
In fact, who cares if Danger Days sells a bajillion copies. Gerard & Co. are still idiotic douchebags.
Perhaps if Gerard wrote a song called Pubes on fire he might catch the more hardcore elements of the KOL fanbase and kiss Jimmy Urine ass at the same time.
Sure to be a big hit!
As of December 1, 2010: In the second half of the Top 10, Rihanna’s “Loud” (Def Jam) is No. 6 with 141,000; Justin Bieber’s new “My Worlds Acoustic” (Island), sold only through Wal-Mart, is No. 7 with 115,000; and My Chemical Romance is No. 8 with 112,000 sales of its new “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys” (Reprise). Ne-Yo’s new “Libra Scale” (Def Jam) is No. 9 with slightly fewer sales than “Danger Days” (SoundScan’s publicly released numbers are rounded), and “Glee: The Music — The Christmas Album” (Columbia) rounds out the Top 10 with 108,000 sales.
source: New York Times
Did KoL's record debut higher than #8 when it came out?
Did KoL's record debut higher than #8 when it came out?
CAS debuted at #2 on Billboard with 184,000 in the US. They were #1 in the UK with 183,000, and #1 in the world with over half a million sold worldwide the first week.
who cares if Danger Days sells a bajillion copies. Gerard & Co. are still idiotic douchebags.
This.
You mean Gerard, JU & Co. They're all one big happy family band now aren't they?
I can turn your shit around on you. I don't believe KOL was the number one album in the world. Where is your citation? There can't be that many drunken frat boys in the world.
Oh good grief! Who cares?
And it ain't Wikipedia. :D
Don't see MCR listed here
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week48-2010.htm
Danger Days debuted here. http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week49-2010.htm
Looks like the next week they were down to 30. http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week50-2010.htm
And by the following week they were gone. http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week51-2010.htm
But KOL was still hanging around in the top 20, even though their record came out 6 weeks earlier than MCR's.
Yeah, you're right. The figures don't really add up, do they?
I think if he wrote less songs about Lindsey like Slumbertime they may have done okay with the record.
But they're still idiots.
I would not classify Mumford and Sons as 'rockabilly'. They fall more into contemporary folk.
Sorry. You can try to gloss over it all you want. Just like GW and his artsy fartsy pretensious bs.
Mumford and Sons is a rockabilly as it gets. Just like Bob Dylan and Buddy Holly.
Dont like the classification? Get the fuck over yourself and move the fuck on.
Mumford and Sons are proud to be called "rockabilly".
Lindsay Way is a racist because of her part in a racist band. Look at MSI's lyrics and behavior (posting pictures of African Americans on twitter to laugh at them etc) and it marks them as racist.
They use the excuse 'but if Method Man can use racial slurs, why can't we?'. The difference is, Method Man is black. Jimmy, Steve, Kitty and Lindsey are not black. They have no valid reason to use those words. They use them to be offensive and shock.
Lindsey tries to defend this racism as 'groundbreaking music' and 'innovative' art. She can't step away from her white priviledge long enough to even see her actions and role in a racist band as wrong.
Lindsey is a racist, because of her racist behavior, her pride in it, and her refusal to see another point of view. And the reason we talk about her so much here, is because Gerard is constantly promoting his racist wife as an 'artist' in articles about MCR. He is just as blind and ignorant as her. We also get fangirl idiots and friends of Lindsey like Jessicka posting here telling us how 'wrong' we are, and that Lindsey is a 'nice person'.
My point: if she was 'so nice', she'd make an apology for her role in a racist band. But she's a rich, greedy white woman who has surrounded herself with enablers and apologizers that tell her she is right all the time. She's not going to change.
rich, greedy white woman
Through her husband not her own ability.
you guys are hilarious
Your face is hilarious. Now jog on!
Bob Dylan is rockabilly? That's news to me.
LMFAO.
If you've seen LynZ in MSI interviews before she married Gerard, you'll see all she does is sit there and say nothing. She could have said something about her so-called feminist beliefs back then, but she didn't. Only when she married Gerard did she start yapping about wanting to be an "inspiration" for girls.
Clearly someone told her to do it.
Rockabilly is defined as "blues with a country beat". Prime examples are Elvis Presley's early music, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, etc. It was very raucous and danceable. Songs like Whole Lotta Shakin' or Peggy Sue come to mind.
While artists as varied as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were influenced by Rockabilly, they wouldn't be classified as such.
Mumford and Sons is an English folk band. I wouldn't exactly compare their songs to Whole Lotta Shakin' or Jailhouse Rock.
I don't care much for classifications. Music is music. But Bob Dylan rockabilly? No.
You know what really p***** me off about the whole Charlie Sheen meltdown? It's the fact that if it were a woman instead of a man sleeping with two porn stars, taking drugs, appearing wasted on TV, losing custody of her children, threatening her former partners, then the whole world would be ripping her apart. People would just tear that woman to pieces, e.g-look at what people are saying about Lindsey Lohan and her legal problems. Also, Britney was treated awfully in the press when she had her breakdown.
I'm not saying Charlie Sheen should be ripped apart, but it just shows you how s*** the world treats woman still.
Mumford & Sons music has some elements of Bluegrass in it, which makes me really happy. I grew up in Tennessee, and my uncles were bluegrass musicians. It's good to hear elements of that in something that gets played on the radio. :D
I agree 7:02.
People wouldn't think a woman behaving like Charlie Sheen was funny. Women are held to a much higher standard than men and it's not fair.
In fact, I doubt a woman with a past as checkered as Charlie Sheen's would be on a hit TV show in the first place.
Anybody catch The Strokes on SNL? It's good to have them back. :)
"to just stand up there and think, 'All right, we've got these four instruments, let's just do it, this is a song'...it feels like such an archaic notion now to do that. It feels like it needs to be something more, it feels like it needs to be something really unique and special .... Whereas pop was usually a throwaway thing, you had somebody (Gaga, Kanye) who gave a shit and took a chance, so in some ways that makes a bunch of guys standing around with instruments look really foolish. Especially ones that aren't trying to say anything."
-- Gerard Way
Thoughts?
Gerard's 'message' is playing with a toy gun and making halls full of 15 year old girls masturbate for him.
Get over it. It's getting old...really old
I suppose The Strokes looked really foolish on SNL last night...
Funny, I really enjoyed them. :/
Dear 9:06,
If you don't like it here...leave. You're getting really old.
Gerard thinks he's 'really special' because he dyes his hair Kurt-Cobain-Kool-Aid red.
Pop is still a throwaway thing. Gimmicks like coming out of eggs, plastic rayguns and Rhianna colored hair are not going to influence generations of musicians for years to come.
Rock was built on the blues. Blues artists were usually comprised of one man and a guitar. Nothing foolish about that.
Get over it. It's getting old...really old
Much like Gerard's idiocy, hey?
So apparently the next video is just going to be a 'live' one. I wonder if someone's figured out that the Killjoys bullshit isn't working?
I can't understand what it is that Gerard thinks is so "special" about what MCR is saying right now. The lyrics seem pretty nonsensical to me.
He makes about as much sense when he gives interviews as Charlie Sheen does.
'Gerard thinks he's 'really special' because he dyes his hair Kurt-Cobain-Kool-Aid red.'
Those two names shouldn't be put in the same sentence.
I think he just dissed every band out there that isn't running around shooting ray guns as part of their act.
There are tonnes of bands out there that simply use this little thing called "talent" to entertain their audience.
Gerard: shut the FCUK up. You don't make any sense.
"Just ignore Gerard Way. He is a twit. That's why he married another one."
I wish you all would ignore him if you hate him so much. Quick question; if you all dislike him and Lindsey so much then why give them the time of day on here?
I must also stress that I'm not a fan of GW or LW so I'm not coming from this in a fangirl way, I'm just genuinely curious as to what the draw is of talking about them here?
Because this is the internet and we can rant about idiots like Gerard and Lindsey if we want. I personally like being the flip side of the coin to the ones who hero worship everything they both do. I think this site is useful to provide a balance of positive and negative opinions. We don't troll other people, and we keep things confined to this blog. If people don't want to read it, they don't have to. Sadly, Gerard didn't give MCR fans a choice like that when he dragged his wife's racist side show on tour as a support act.
I think you guys are looking into things too much. It's just a band for fuck sake, they're clearly not bad people. Stop over exaggerating about everything, people make mistakes and do silly things.
Oh, I see you're a troll. Well, thanks for taking the time to tell people what can and can't offend them and to what extent they should be offended. You can go sit at the table with the other middle class white people now. Buh bye!
That's what you think. We think otherwise. Bands are powerful influences to young kids.
they're just a band you're too harsh they're not bad
In the words of Lenny Bruce, "It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness." Mindless Self Indulgence is NOT racist, and the usage of some not-so-PC words in their songs is not indicative of the bands hatred or distaste for any culture, creed, or ethnicity. MSI's fans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and are all welcomed with opened-arms no matter what they look like, or where they're coming from. It is true, many critics have questioned the band for using the word "nigger" in their songs -- they unfortunately are not taking the time to think about the bands satirical take on hip-hop music and culture, and their otherwise brash attitude in regards to the established quota of what society deems "the norm." Why is it deemed acceptable for Clifford Smith (AKA Method Man) to bust out on "Bring The Pain," but it is "in poor taste" for Jimmy Urine to do the same? It is a great song Mindless Self Indulgence wanted to cover -- should great music be restricted by nationality or race? Should we really waste our time dissecting this kind of the thing in the world we live in today? We think not.
I don't know. A band making money by calling women b****** and h*** and five year panties can't be good people in my eyes.
I find MSI disgusting and extremely offensive. They may or may not be bad people, but they're definitely stupid people. I reserve the right to express my opinion on their stupidity.
One more thing- I think LynZ gives feminism a bad name. I don't think she is an inspiration to young girls-quite the opposite, in fact. I used to be a MCR fan until all this s*** started. It got hard to stomach, then I found this blog to express my disappointment with them.
Can I just add, I actually think this place is more interesting when we're discussing non-MCRSI related topics. There are a lot of intelligent people around this place.
You missed the point. They are not satirical. Urine even said so.
when did he say that?
In light of the way she treat her own family I don't think she's a very nice person. She definitely should not be an inspiration or role model to anyone. Her stupid husband promoted her that way.
Jimmy et al are NOT black. Using racial slurs and mocking hip hop is racist, because they're NOT POC. How is this so hard to understand?
I don't think it's racisit.
It is true, many critics have questioned the band for using the word "nigger" in their songs -- they unfortunately are not taking the time to think about the bands satirical take on hip-hop music and culture, and their otherwise brash attitude in regards to the established quota of what society deems "the norm."
So, basically, MSI are admitting that they're racist (mocking 'hip gop culture' and using racial slurs), but they're proud of it because they're 'outside the norm'. Okay. I know some other people who think that way. They wear nice white robes and hoods. MSI should team up with them and write another album.
I don't think it's racisit.
Question: are you white?
I just love how MSI friends come here with lame reasons to justify the content of their songs and sanitize their friends image.
freak of nature
Let me give you some advice. A white person telling other people what is and isn't racist is kind of a dick move. Racial slurs ARE racist. When white people use them, they're using the language of the oppressor. You know, the kind of oppression that used to happen to POC when white people kept them as slaves? Made them work for nothing, tortured them, raped them etc?
Yeah, so you might want to leave it out.
To 12:05:
Can you tell me what good Lenny Bruce's "niggerniggernigger" rant did? It happened 50 years ago, yet the n-word still carries the same negative connotations it did 50 years ago. Lenny couldn't take power back because he was not black, and I'll wager that you aren't either.
And all that aside, MSI in no Lenny Bruce. People won't remember them 50 years from now because they're just a bunch of shock rockers who are in it to make a buck. They aren't trying to make social commentary. They're just putting on a show.
And they'll use any subject to make that buck.
^Exactly.
why do black people use the word nigger all the time? they call each other niggers
12:33 are you that thick?
Don't you just love hipster racism? The attitude that "Hey, it's okay for me to use racist slurs because I'm so cool, yo. I'm above all that. Besides, I date an Asian chick so how could I be racist?"
But it's not okay. It's racism, no matter how "cool and hip" you think you are.
In regards to the n-word, if you aren't black, you can't "take the term back."
12:33 are you that thick?
Yes, I think 12:33 really is that thick. She's either a 12 year old who just discovered Gerard and thinks he's hot or she's a total troll. She's been here for days. It's best to ignore her.
Sorry im only 16 i dont realy know...They're aren't many black people where I live. Is it kinda like girls say bitch to each other in light conversation but if a guy said it, it's offensive.
Think of it this way. Have you ever done something really stupid and then smacked yourself in the head afterwards and said, "Wow, I'm an idiot!"? You weren't really serious when you said it, because you probably don't really think you're an idiot.
But, if somebody else said, "Wow, you're an idiot!", you would be offended.
It's kind of the same principle.
OK :D

;_; Thank you! I fail at technology.
No problem. :)
So I take it this is Lindsey's arm? And I take it she was being 'satirical' when she said she was a lesbian drug addicted whore?
Idk, I don't see the humor in writing things like that on oneself. I suppose I'm just not as 'hip' as she is.
How do you know that's Lindsey's arm? It could be anybody's.
Look close.
http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgxggkEihY1qgw7lco1_500.jpg
Wow, she looks wasted there. No wonder Gerard thinks she's so amazing. The two of them can get wasted together and since she's an admitted lesbian, she probably doesn't mind that he's probably gay.
How many tats does this idiot have?
I've seen these pictures before. Apparently she wrote on her arm in response to all the stuff people were writing about her on the internet after she married Gerard.
She could have done the classy thing and ignored it all, but she had to go and do something childish. Big surprise.
does anything surprise us coming from these two?
I see she didn't write anything on her arm about being called a racist. Probably because she knows it's true!
And her tattoos are ugly and stupid. I wish she showed as much regret for her sexist and racist behavior as she did for her shitty ink. But then with her enabler friends telling her she's the victim all the time she probably doesn't have many moments where she reflects on her shitty racist 'career'.
I think she did say she wished she hadn't gotten tattoos.
She probably only said that after she released what other people thought of them to give herself a better image. Why would you get so many all over your body, spend so much money and time getting them and then regret them? I think she says things to make herself look good most of the time.
yeah you're right, as always! :D
In the words of Lenny Bruce, "It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness."
So basically, when everyone else earlier called you out on your ridiculous privileged ass trying to tell people of other races/colors/genders/persuasions to JUST GET OVER IT 'CAUSE I SAID SO... You, what? Didn't read those parts?
Again, because you're clearly too busy frotting on pictures of your favorite band to, you know, read? You have no call telling people of color/gender/sexual orientation to "take back a word" that hurts them. It's not your call to decide what people do and do not wish to be called.
Why not go back in your cave? I think it's a little darker and damper there; you should thrive a little better.
I don't think it's racisit.
Guess what? You're wrong. It is. No, this is not an opinion, this is a fact. YOU don't get to decide what's racist and what isn't, you don't get to decide that other people should just "get over it."
Does it hurt? Being so stupid, is there pain involved?
excellent call Kapunua
Thank you Hocking. :) I also meant to say, I thought it was cool that you were already into Mumford and Sons. :)
YOU don't get to decide what's racist and what isn't, you don't get to decide that other people should just "get over it."
But why do YOU get to decided what's racist and what isn't? YOU don't know MSI's intent when they covered that song, or can you read minds now?
Their intent was purely to make money.
But why do YOU get to decided what's racist and what isn't? YOU don't know MSI's intent when they covered that song, or can you read minds now?
No, dick, I'm leaving that up to people of color, and really anyone who doesn't like to be called a certain term because of their race, gender, ethnicity or sexuality. It's not up to some skanky, pube-lighting, smelly white disease of a man to decide to "take back the word" on behalf of the people he's insulting. It's not up to you either, and it's not up to me.
MSI's intent? Well, guess what. Their "intent" doesn't figure into it. Who gives a toss if they're trying to come across as racist or disgusting, or if they're trying to come across as the saviors of the poor, downtrodden POCs and "take back words" on their behalf. It doesn't matter what they say their intention is.
God damn, but you are thick as lead.
But why do YOU get to decided what's racist and what isn't? YOU don't know MSI's intent when they covered that song, or can you read minds now?
How about you google 'is a white person using the N word a racist?' and do some reading before you ask a dumbfuck, ignorant racist question like that. Of course MSI are racist. We aren't 'deciding' anything. We're just aware and educated: two things that you, and MSI, are clearly not.
Does it occur to any of you that people come here to wind all of you up on purpose, because it's so easy? I know I have.
4:02, intent has nothing to do with this. That word does not belong to MSI and they have no right to use it. Period. It is a racial slur with a very deep and painful context behind it. I'm afraid there are some white people who are just obsessed with picking it up and running around with it to get some sort of reaction when they use it. If anyone had any respect or understanding for what POC went through, and still go through, they would not use that word. MSI are racist because they fail to understand this, and I'm staring to think you're the same.
I would urge you to do some reading into racial politics and history before you continue to defend four white people using that word 'for the lolz'.
9:55, we're aware. It's called the internet and most of us are used to it. However, mixed in with the trolls are those lurkers and sometime posters like dstarpro who condone and defend sexism and racism. I'd rather give them some advice when they post their stupidity. It's my time to waste, after all.
I'd like to dedicate this post to the Racist Bassist on woman's day! May she continue to perform songs about sexual abuse, violence against women and rape. She's such an inspiration, really.
too far
Hi Jessicka! Have you spoken to your friend about her racism yet?
4:02, dumbass, anybody who uses the word n***** is a racist piece of shit. Look up the history of that word before you come here trying to defend that shitty excuse for a band MSI.
Does it occur to any of you that people come here to wind all of you up on purpose, because it's so easy? I know I have.
Duh. Trolls are everywhere and we know we're no exception. But if you post something idiotic here, regardless of your intentions, we'll probably respond to it.
Trolls are everywhere. Jimmy Urine and Co. are irl trolls. They probably love getting people like all of you wound up.
I have absolutely no respect for Jessicka Adams let alone her moronic friend. As far as I'm concerned these people only want to self-promote themselves.
2:02 PM
What does Jessicka Addams have to do with what Lynz or her band says? I like her. I read her twitter today and I like what she has to say.
Jessicka defends Lindsey. She defends her racism and sexism. She's as bad as her.
I see where the so-called "sales figures" for Danger Days was finally removed from Wikipedia. But not before some college paper and NME published it as fact. Of course, NME also fucked up how many copies TBP sold too -- by a million copies (they printed 2,100,000, when TBP has sold more thatn 3,000,000). LMAO, they must have subtracted a million from TBP's sales to embellish Danger Days' sales. And they call themselves "journalists". What a joke.
who cares
I don't.
New single off the next record?

Charlie Sheen should be sectioned or hospitalized. The man is insane. He should not be allowed near his children.
12:23 PM
Instead of making speculations, want me to tweet Jessicka and ask her views on MSI, Lindsey, and racism?
She seems to be very forthcoming via twitter.
Or maybe somebody here could step down from their anonymous soap box and ask her privately ?

Worth a shot?
Charlie Sheen's behavior reminds me so much of my dad & Marilyn Manson. Very sad. It is hard to look away from true narcissists.#daddyissues
I'm guilty of following @CharlieSheen. He makes me remember how lucky I am
@JessickaAddams is an idiot, You can't reason with an idiot.
I still like Jessicka and her art.
I still dislike Lynz and her art.
nothing changed
March 27th is @lynzway 's show in NYC. I'll be there. The group show I'll be in for @TaraMcPherson is on April 9th thecottoncandymachine.com
Lesbian lovers travel together?

I haven't seen Jessicka defend Lyn-Z at least on twitter. She only promotes her art? Am I missing something?
Jessicka seems to have changed her tune on Charlie Sheen. At first, she was tweeting #winning, asking him if she could be a "goddess" and going along with everyone else who sees him as a joke. Now she's acts like she's concerned for him. You know, you can't really have it both ways.
But then, I think that's what Jessicka does with Lindsey. She spouts feminist rhetoric while pretending that Lindsey's career with MSI doesn't exist.

In my mind she is no different to Lindsey. She changes her tune to give herself a positive image. I would take anything she says with a grain of salt.

Jessicka visits here. She spammed us a few months ago with John Waters lines.
She has been called out here, publically, and she can come and respond any time she likes. I'm not one for going directly to someone's twitter/email when it's clear they can read what I type here.
Maybe the fact is that she's a coattail riding brownnoser who doesn't have a problem with songs about little girls being molested and racial slurs, because her 'BFF' is the one behind them? She's said time and time again Lyn-Z deserves 'no hate' from people. Sounds like the words of a racist apologizer to me.
It would be interesting to know what Jessicka's views are on MSI and their lyrical content. But, anything she says might upset LynZ so I don't see her responding to any MSI-related questions.
And, yes, Jessicka has changed her tune over Charlie Sheen. I wonder why...
11:40, she doesn't want to be kicked off the MCR gravy train. She's loving all this attention from the 'jellus' Lindsey haters and is trying to sell herself as the person who's friends with those on the moral highground. You know, the moral highground where they call people 'n*ggers', 'c*nts' tell women they should have given themselves coathanger abortions, and mock abuse victims. That moral highground.
I think she mentioned something about a 'persona'. I think that's how she justifies MSI.
It's so easy for racists like Jimmy Piss and The Racist Bassist to hide their prejudice and ignorance behind their 'art'. Funny how they don't like it when the tables are turned and people target them personally on twitter. They cry and whine about 'mean fans', but they don't understand that trolls like geewithoutlynz are their karma for being racist fuckwits.

I don't think so. They seems very much alike, only JA appears to more articulate than her 'crisp eater's' friend, who always seems to have a knack of putting a foot in her mouth.
Jessicka Addams @aliciaway @seriouscreep @lynzway. I call for a ladies lunch!
I wonder what racists order for lunch?
Also, wasn't seriouscreep aka Sarah Little the one who made the racist joke that Frank retweeted? Yeah, she was. What a small, bigoted little world these people inhabit.
In light of the tragic death of Mike Starr, many people have changed their tune about Charlie Sheen. It's not so funny anymore when you remember that drugs and/or mental problems often result in death.
I love how Jessicka tries to pretend she's so educated, 'feminist' and mature and then she goes and hangs out with a load of proven vapid, racist, foolish chumps like Alicia, Lindsey and Sarah.
Nice one, Jessicka!
It's never been funny. It's like a cancer of the mind.
Can you imagine what his family is going through? To see their son and brother breaking down in public? His children? With the media contributing to this.
And people like Jessicka Adams who initially jumped on the roller coaster. Really pathetic.

Gerard should be pleased with himself. He has managed to surround himself with superficial vacuous people whose main concern appears to be image and money. All under the guise of "art".

Do you think he's any different? His whole act is bascially pretending to have some ~deep meaning when all he really wants to do is dress like a douche, drive his sports car and parade around with his racist trophy wife in LA.

People who think Charlie Sheen is funny have a distorted view of the world. They certainly have very little empathy.
She's not much of a trophy wife. Maybe for him she is.

I would say that the same people who create "music" about an infant's panties have the same blinkered notion.
For a fat basement kid from NJ, she's all he could look for in a woman. Plus, after the trainwreck that was Elizagate, he was probably just happy that someone without really fucked up mental issues wanted in his pants. That's romance for you.
Very sad. Perhaps he needed to overcome his self esteem issues before anything else?
From his recent comments about losing weight to achieve a 'gaunt look' for the new album promo and the size of him now (bloated), I'd say homeboy's probably got an eating disorder.

Either that or a drinking/drug abuse problem. That bloat doesn't look healthy at all.
Duh. Trolls are everywhere and we know we're no exception. But if you post something idiotic here, regardless of your intentions, we'll probably respond to it.
Ya see?!?!!
What the fuck are you on about 12:54?
Sense. You don't make it.
11:15 AM
Charlie Sheen is a joke. A sad drug addict joke. But even a moron can see he's a joke.
And, yes, Jessicka has changed her tune over Charlie Sheen. I wonder why...?
Because somebody asked her what she thought of Charlie Sheen yesterday. You can see it in her tweets.
12:19 PM
I get what you are saying but it is not just Jessicka. Everybody is talking about Charlie Sheen. You can't avoid or ignore him at this point. My boss came to work wearing a Charlie Sheen shirt today and he is a cool guy who is as straight as an arrow.
My prediction
MCR or MSI will name their next album Charlie Sheen.
12:15 PM
How is Alicia Way? racist? What did I miss?
12:15 PM
I dislike Lyn-Z as much as the next person here but I really don't think Jessicka is that bad. I read her twitter and it is funny. She clearly has a dark sense of humor but I don't see anything that she's tweeted as racist. I am also guilty in following the meltdown of Charlie Sheen. A lot of people are.
Just because you might associate with certain people does not mean you have to believe in everything they do 100%.
My best friend is a Republican. I am not. We can agree to disagree. It is that simple. To suggest that people can't have different values then their friends is really narrow minded thinking.
In light of the tragic death of Mike Starr, many people have changed their tune about Charlie Sheen. It's not so funny anymore when you remember that drugs and/or mental problems often result in death.
THIS.
To people with a little empathy and compassion, Charlie Sheen is not a joke.
People don't understand mania. A manic person can throw away his or her entire life in just a matter of weeks or months. Sure, Charlie Sheen is a jackass. A woman beating jackass, and I dislike him. But he's a human being and he has a mental illness. He's destroying himself and he's doing it in a very public way. I don't see anything funny about that.
Just because most of the assholes out there in the world think it's hilarious to watch a rich, successful person totally disintegrate right before their eyes, it doesn't make it right.
She's said time and time again Lyn-Z deserves 'no hate' from people. Sounds like the words of a racist apologizer to me.
11:36 AM
Where did she say that ? link? It isn't on her twitter?
Jessicka visits here. She spammed us a few months ago with John Waters lines.
Come on. Why the hell would she spam this place with John Waters lines? That's just silly.
It would be interesting to know what Jessicka's views are on MSI and their lyrical content. But, anything she says might upset LynZ so I don't see her responding to any MSI-related questions.
Maybe somebody should just ask her? I'm not going to but somebody should.
Honestly, I don't have anything against Jessicka. I don't really know why people keep bringing her up here, other than the fact that she's friends with Lindsey.
But, it is a known fact that people judge you by the company you keep, so I suppose people are going to paint Jessicka with the same racist brush that they use for Lindsey.
