Touch My Body by Mariah Carey (when I first wrote it, I said Oh my God for the title, and it's appropriate)*

I. Um. Okay, thefourthvine is restricted from watching because one vendetta a year is enough, really. The rest of you...

I mean. Does anyone watch that and think strange soft-core porn metrosexual fantasy as interpreted by someone who has a.) never had sex b.) never had a relationship that didn't involve chatspeak and c.) been diagnosed insane?

A unicorn? Why? Why? What did unicorns do to you?

*svmadelyn pasted this to me without warning. Without warning.

ETA: Pillow fight? Stop. Stop. Stop.

I wonder how many people will be like me, in that they're so blinking at the Viking hat that the unicorn doesn't register until second viewing?

*mulls*

[seperis.livejournal.com]

That would be a very good poll.

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

Is this something that will cause brain damage? I want to know before I click.

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

...since when is that supposed to make a difference? If Jenn says to click, you just click!

But if you wanted a one word answer: yes.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, it will.

[anashi.livejournal.com]

Omg. Unicorn. I mean, I was warned...but still

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was--yeah. Unicorn. Just right there.

[zillah975]

Weird. I am not permitted to see the poll. :/

NINJAS. There should always be ninjas.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

The poll hates me. I killed it to watch it die.

There *should* have been ninjas.

[jillsjourney.livejournal.com]

I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I got to the unicorn and I was just so appalled that I had to stop. Damn. That is one sad, sad video.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

You are far, far wiser than I am. I am never going to be clean again.

[ellixis.livejournal.com]

I

no.

You're getting my therapy bills.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Well. There were no flying choirboys.

[miscellanny.livejournal.com]

My soul is weeping.

Weeping, I tell you.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

So does everyone's. *sighs*

[ratcreature]

GAAAH!

Why do I click on these links? It's like a disease. I'm scarred now. But yeah, I think the sex fantasy by someone sterotypically nerdy who never had sex was the point of this atrocity.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I hope so. God, I hope so.

*twitch*

Okay... I had to stop at the unicorn because my brain threatened to break.

I kept wincing when she was dancing in the shiny silver dress because I kept expecting it to ride up and show her butt. *winces*

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I can understand. The unicorn....there's no excuse for the unicorn.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that. As if my brain isn't a damaged enough place already... *glares*

Jeez, there is not a word in the English language to do justice in describing how awful that woman's videos are. I'm just glad to have watched and not listened - I imagine it is even worse when subjected to the shite that is her music these days...

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*grins* Well. It. yeah, it's mostly I need to have others share my pain.

[gehirnstuerm.livejournal.com]

Boo! The evil woman spoiled unicorns for me!

*sad face*

[tropes.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW.

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

Wow...there should be a dictum never to reference youtube in a pop video...oh, yes, and no unicorns EVAH!!!!!

that was even worse than i expected after your warning!

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Yup, a mean-spirited jab against all those nerdly boys who fantasize about Mariah. And, you know, nerdly boys read science fiction and fantasy, so their wank material involves Mariah with blasters and unicorns. IT'S SO NOT HER FAULT EVEN THOUGH SHE POSES FOR PICTURES IN LINGERIE AND USES THE WHOLE "SEX SELLS" TACTIC TO THE NTH DEGREE, WHY DO THOSE DORKY BOYS EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING WITH HER, EEEEWWW?!?!?

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

Thankfully I was too busy going "hee Jack McBrayer! ♥" to pay close attention to the Unicorn Island Sex Fantasy. It helps if I pretend it's his character Kenneth the Page and that this is all going to turn out to be a big 30 Rock spoof and not an actual video. Or so I keep hoping. Because otherwise what the hell.

Erm, I think that was sort of the point, no? It's the fantasy of the cliched supposedly-virginal computer nerdlette, who is all of the above. There were also deely-boppers, "romantic hero" pantaloon prince pants, and laser tag, a nerd's idea of romantic and fun. It's supposed to be awful and over the top and a spoof of a certain type of music vid on purpose, for the humor. The whole hoary vid is supposed to be all in his tiny little cliched-nerd mind, which theoretically excuses the soft core porn aspect of it. Sadly, I *know* this guy, times ten, as my husband owns a comic book store, but if I were a nerd boy, I'd sue.

That's the guy who plays the NBC page on 30 Rock, he's also a stand-up comedian. I love that guy, at least I do on 30 Rock.
I don't think this is supposed to be taken seriously.

[cottontail.livejournal.com]

I couldn't even watch it. It was so embarrassing.

[amberlc.livejournal.com]

WHY do I always feel compelled to click? Even when I know that there will be trauma? *ponders how the insatiable need to know always overrides self-preservation instincts*

[aurora]

HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT????

[retrofit88.livejournal.com]

holy fuck.

my brain hurts.

Also, I want to send the writers' the old "Girls Guide to Geek Guys" ((http://www.neystadt.org/john/humor/Girls-Guide-To-Geek-Guys.htm)) because really, that whole video plays the negative stereotypes _so_ hard. Just finished reading "Nerds: Who They Are, and Why We Need More of Them" (http://www.amazon.com/Nerds-They-Need-More-Them/dp/1585425907), which gets you thinking about the actual harm caused (to non-nerds as well) by those stereotypes...
