Who’s going to be the first person admitted to the ER because a Lily Allen album is lodged in their rectum?

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 70 points 3 days ago

Trick question I did that shit last year.

I'm in the waiting room right now for my weekly clean-out.

That ship sailed closer to decades ago than not.

Spend some time with ER workers (and pay for their damned drinks) and you will learn just how toned down The Pitt actually was.

For the low price of 19.99 it could be YOU!!

And if you are lucky, you might even get a bit of malware up there.

I have no idea who this is and after I looked them up I still have no idea.

She’s a pop singer who was married to the cop from Stranger Things. Then they got divorced, and she wrote an album about it. In the album, she put him on blast for having a sex dungeon full of toys for his hookers. It apparently really embarrassed him, but he has refused to publicly comment on it. And now she’s releasing her new album on buttplug shaped USBs, to further needle at him.

He cheated on her with hookers, but her singing about it is fucked up? Am I browsing 4chan?

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Look I'll be that guy. Someone cheats - drop em. Say your piece. Whatever. But if you are making a book deal on it... Or profiteering off the situation? That's subhuman.

If he did that? Piece of shit, absolutely.

But if shes taking creative license and publicising her "side of the story"... And looking to profit off it? Nah. You lost me. If anything it sounds like they deserved each other. I sure as fuck would steer clear of both of em.

You have two consenting adults acting like anything but.

Subhuman is when you express your life experiences creatively as a commercial artist. Very cool, very hinged take.

I remember when I first listened to Fleetwood Mac's Rumors and thought "This isn't one of the greatest raw emotional albums of all time, no, this is disgusting subhuman noise. Keep cheating men's private sins private"

Do point out to me where I said keep anyone's anything private. I said the act of publicly profiting off of their side of a story was the sub human act. It is, quite literally, selling a story which may (and frequently is) embellished at the others expense.

This isn't making lemonade with lemons... Its shit human behavior. And before you forget that I pointed it out: so was the cheating. Thus: they deserved each other.

But yes: read half of my statement and distill it into "woman bad" or whatever nonsense you were ragebaiting over.

Very cool, very hinged take.

Indeed.

This is literally Taylor Swift’s whole oeuvre. Everyone deals with breakups their own way, some people write long overly descriptive songs and profit off of salacious lyrics.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Id argue that she also had something of a bit of musical talent and ability to write other songs as well... But on that note - I'd still express the same opinion. Regardless of who you are or even what your standing is - using a public platform to effectively slander another individual while you air your (interpersonal) grievances isn't... acceptable. Weve seen many examples of why that shouldn't be a thing. I understand the draw... But it doesn't make it right - or a good thing to do.

Was it cheating or was she in on it?

I had a listen to the album and frankly it sounded like the cheating was the least of her problems with him.

That base is insufficiently flared. I get that they're not meant to actually be used as buttplugs, but given that there are so many flat out dangerous buttplugs out there in the world, I feel like if you're going to use the image of them in order to be edgy and in the news, you should at least represent a proper buttplug

Lets be honest, that whole thing is barely thicker than a finger. Novelty would be a stretch or rather no stretch.

Someone will though.

Put West End Girl in your Best End, Girl

Clearly the album should be South End Girl if she's serving it up in a butt plug

How does it compare to pet shop boys version?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 4 points 2 days ago

Dunno, I'd have to put it in my ear first.

Nobody else manages to be simultaneously posh and trashy quite like Lily Allen.
