Darren Criss on Johnjay and Rich; November 17, 2010
aka “The Bagel Incident”
The following radio interview took place just days after Never Been Kissed aired on Fox. Darren was still very much a newbie to the industry. Some…choice actions on Darren’s part ruffled the feathers of the radio djs a bit…
Listen and enjoy and try not to get irrationally angry, but feel free to laugh at the irony of Darren blasting to stardom only a few months after this transpired.
:T My Man is pretty appalling lyrically, but seriously, as much as people joke(?) about it, Baby it's Cold Outside isn't actually about date-rape. I mean, there is one line that is suspect in a modern context, but 'say, what's in this drink' was a far more innocuous phrase before roofies were invented and became an actual thing to be concerned about. Like, the song is basically "boy I sure would love to stay and snuggle, but it would be pretty scandalous if I didn't get going, now. Talk me out of leaving? :D" "Okay! :D"
Baby it’s Cold outside, which is basically about a lead up to date rape. Fail.
My Man which is basically about dropping everything and dignity for a man. Feminism fail.
But the songs are so good, dammit!
... According to Ausiello, he's only missing ONE episode. And the only episode he's missing is the one that focuses on guest star Ricky Martin, soooooo there would have been little to no Klaine there anyway. IDK man, I'll miss the cute background moments, but it's more than made up for to see Darren living a dream he couldn't imagine being given the chance to a year ago.
Darren is going to miss so much episodes of Glee, because of How to Succeed. You know what that means? NO KLAINE!
This is on the Glee Facebook page. The top winning couple will be put on merchandise that fans can purchase after the season. In other words, if Klaine wins, Glee/Fox will be forced to sell products with their images on it.
This... actually raises a point about Kurt's sense of fashion with regards to his gender expression that I think about a lot. Like, we've seen him wear women's sweaters and corsets before, but his presentation while wearing them has always been masculine. Even back when he participated in Gaga Week, he wore a costume that accentuated the broadness of his shoulders, and chose a tunic/tights combo rather than a straight-up dress. When Kurt says "fashion has no gender," I think it means he isn't going to stop himself from adding an article of clothing that catches his eye to his wardrobe just because the label says its for women, but he's going to re-purpose his clothes to suit a man's wardrobe. (Aaand this isn't me trying to excuse him from trying to dissuade someone else from their gender expression/presentation, I'm just sharing why it doesn't feel jarring or out of character to me that Kurt might not personally be into actually wearing a dress and presenting femininely himself)
um kurt wears women sweaters and corsets why was he against the idea of wade wearing a dress??
Okay, so the facebook thing never really took off, and I mostly just lurk on livejournal, but I can totally do the tumblr thing, right? Right! I'm done with anonymously creeping rad blogs. \o/

So, the heterosexuals are on the swingset, swinging back and forth like most people do.
And then there are the homosexuals swinging, like, side to side or something.
The bisexuals are sort of alternating between the two, and the pansexuals are just twisting their swing up in a knot and crashing into everyone like “fuck the police i do what i want”
And then the asexuals are just chilling out in the sandbox all alone, like: HEY GUISE, LOOK AT THE CASTLE I MADE GUISE, LOOK GUISE IT HAS A MOTE. GUISE. LOOK.
This should not have made me laugh as hard as I did.
OMG the pansexual part made me crack up!
Apparently when I was younger I was pansexual.

That Glee clip reminded me of a customer I had once at work who said she couldn't eat eggs because they were basically baby chickens.
... Explaining to her that the eggs we eat are actually basically chicken periods probably did little to make them more appealing to her.

mark it on your calendar y’all~
Especially considering how integral this is to the world she's shoddily built.
So I just wanted to put it out there that aside from being incorrect pseudo-science, the whole concept of Black people’s melanin protecting them from skin cancer reeks of social darwinism. :/
