Apropos of nothing in particular

Except hearing that damn song on the radio again.
Memo to Katy Perry:

1. If I kiss a "girl," I won't have to be drunk to do it
2. If I'm going to kiss a "girl," I'm unlikely to give a crap what my boyfriend thinks about it. It's part of that whole self-actualized, if somewhat inconsiderate, thing that I've spent several decades developing.
3. If I kiss a "girl," it sure as shit will not be "innocent."

And I hope Jill Sobule sues your ass.
Sincerely yours,
etc.

Thank you! Everyone acts like this song is so original/daring/whatever and all I can think is, didn't Jill Sobule do this a dozen years ago?

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

And she did it much, much better. :-(

If by "sues" you mean "kicks," then yes, I hope Jill Sobule sues her ass every day for the next year, and twice on Sundays.

Either option would be fine by me. :-)

I've given up trying to explain to people what's so damned insulting about the song. I'll just point them here for some reasons. ;)

Go for it - always glad to be of service. :-)
You all going to WisCon this year?

Yes! But this is America where the Insipid is Cannonized!

I have a somewhat useful idea: don't listen to radio: it sucketh
like paris hilton at a cock fight.

Yes! That song has been annoying me ever since Partner said something about how "daring" it was in a mainstream context (oh please). You've summed it up.

Being pithy is what I do, at least some of the time. :-)
Great interview at Rainbow Reviews, BTW - I kept meaning to post and forgetting. :-(
