But will you love
me tomorrow?
Am I the only
person getting creeped out by the weird trends in buying
recently? First N*Sync sells 2.4 million copies of their
record in the first weeks, with other no-talents Britney
Spears and Eminem following suit with tremendous numbers.
Now comes Harry Potter. A book. (Debatably) a
children's book. 3 million copies? Come on.
This thing is a 700+ page motherfucker. You really think
kids are gonna read it all the way through? Are there
groups forming at elementary schools around the world where
kids read one chapter and then have a book club to discuss
what the fuck happens? No, I haven't read a Harry Potter
book, and I hear they're pretty good. But no goddamn
book is that good. These ravenous new buying habits
are great for the economy (CooperativeLEE Advertising This
Week©: and if you'll be buying retail soon - don't
forget Media Play: more choice, less price, everyday...) but
what will happen in the future? Again, I ask: Will
anyone be buying The Marshall Mathers LP in
5 years, let alone listening to it? It's sold more
copies in its first six weeks in release (5 million) than many
classic titles like Sticky Fingers have
in almost 30 years (certified at 3 million copies 05/31/00).
While Sticky Fingers continues to
sell today, but these moronic buying piranhas with cash aren't
helping to preserve these kinds of legacies or make it
possible for book stores to stock Camus and record stores to
stock Can.
Speaking of Eminem.
His wife tried to kill herself this week. I wonder if
it's because he talked about killing her on both of his
albums, or that he put a gun to her head, or that he facing
loads of jail time, or that he's a retarded, misogynist,
homophobic, talentless wigger idiot.
Speaking of
retarded, misogynist, homophobic, talentless wigger idiots,
Limp Bizkit opened their Napster sponsored tour this week.
And who did they decide to cover for their encore?
Metallica. Durst = Dumbass. Forevermore.
Hey, have you seen
that Midol commercial where that fucking cunt says "You
know, guys try - but they really don't know anything about
periods..." Hey bitch, fuck you! We may not
have a twat, but we know that it's a pretty unpleasant
experience for everyone involved. Girls may not
know anything about getting kicked in the balls, but I bet
they know that some ibuprofen will take away the pain.
Shut up.

Talk about your shocker. That's what you get when you
don't join "The Alliance", I guess. And said
alliance is pretty damn creepy, isn't it? I can't wait
until they have to start turning against each other. Now
I'm not sure who's the most annoying - Freak ass mental case
Greg or creepy gay nazi Richard. Of course, Gervase
continues to prove himself to be the biggest loser on the
island, while still having a place on it. Man, oh man.
I haven't had this much fun watching television since Billy
Clyde Tuggle came back to Pine Valley in 1990...
