Don’t Be Gross

So this afternoon I get a tweet from a woman that said, “Hi Sunny, I sent you an email for V-Day Please let me know if this is go, I have a few notebooks with your name on them lol“, so I check my e-mail and this is what she was talking about:

“Hello Sunny!

I saw your blog and wanted to drop this off to you from a client of mine, [REDACTED BECAUSE I'M NOT GIVING THIS GROSS WOMAN EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF PUBLICITY]. He is a modern-day poet who has released a few of his poems from his Jan 2012 released book poetry, [REDACTED]. I hope that you find one of the poems interesting enough for you to post on your blog for V-Day! Please review the information I have attached below.

Lastly, I saw that you like notebooks, spiral bound being a plus. I have a ton of notebooks I’ve collected throughout the years and would love to send you one from my stash! Just let me know :o)

I’m on twitter too, so check you mentions.

Regards,

Lana“

So I looked at the poems, which were a PDF, and they were pretty mediocre but one was sort of cute I guess, so I tweeted the woman back, because I was busy doing stuff and I said, “I’m gonna have to think about your e-mail and confer with Blake. I don’t really do like, endorsements, so I dunno about this.“

She replied with, “think of it as a vday gift to your readers :) even if you only post a poem…” which just SKEEVED ME RIGHT OUT. She must not be familiar with me or my blog because I don’t just promote people I’ve never even heard of or who I have no attachment to and I cannot be bought with NOTEBOOKS? What the hell!?

So I tweeted her back and just said, “Ugh. You’re sleazy. Please don’t contact me again.” And that’s just the end of that. She’s being indignant on Twitter now so I blocked her and reported her as spam haha

Just…fuck off. I don’t have time for bullshit like this.

I’ll just leave these here.

First I saw this article from Penny Arcade.
Then my friend Skeet said, “oh no honey, it gets worse” and I came very close to urinating all over myself.
Then I read this and almost shat myself.
Then Larissa posted this and now I’m done:

Edit: Dammit, the Reddit post is now gone but the comments aren’t. Someone posted this.

Edit #2: PA updated with this.

Edit #3: MOAR.

Edit #4: Oh snap.

Edit #5: Parody video.

The Most Racist, Sexist Political Ad EVER?

My dear friends, The Perlorians, brought to my attention this evening this series of videos after I ranted on Twitter about my hatred for random shit for the sake of random shit in ads…but these I just had to share. I had to. I’m sorry. But watch. Even if you’ve seen them before (they’re 2 years old). Here’s the premise:

“Zach Galifianakis, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim were commissioned by Absolut Vodka to make a film for their website. They were told they could do anything they wanted as long as they mentioned the product. Edited by Ben Berman.“

Now, onto the hilarity…

You’re welcome.
