I'm never sad when I shop. And I was under the impression you weren't planning to watch the move anyways. YOU WILL NOT KILL IT FOR ME! I shall see this movie and smuggle cocktails in a flask. So that part may be a little sad but I'll be too tipsy to care. I will agree Fergie's theme song is unnecessary.

As long as women look outside themselves for "empowerment" they will be dependent and weak.
"You better free your mind instead." -John Lennon

I listened to the song yesterday and I have to admit that I was really disappointed. I will however still go see the movie. But instead of smuggling cocktails in a flask a la Juju, my girls and I are going out for Cosmos before the movie so we can be drunk while watching. I refuse to allow this movie to be a let down.

Power to the drinkers. See, I'm all empowered and shit. That quote is shit to me. You can be a free thinker and strong and still wear killer shoes and shop. Loving to shop or having a lot of shoes doesn't make you weak. Wanting something to appreciate it isn't the problem. It's placing more value in the ownership of the item.

jujubees:
That's what I love about working the graveyard shift - 8AM benders!

I've never seen SATC. I flipped the channel and saw what a terrible actor Kim Cattral was and that did it for me. Plus, she's kind of whore-y and a terrible actor.

Did I say terrible actor twice? Yes, I did and I meant it. Both times.

The point I was trying to make is that anyone who sees crap culture like "Sex And The City" as empowering must be very weak to begin with. It's a goddamn TV show whose only reason for existing is to shanghai your attention long enough to sell you a bunch of consumer goods. It's a tool, and if you hang your self-esteem and sense of personal "power" on it then you're a tool as well.

Thank god I have Heidi Montag and SATC to act as my feminist icons.

Pretty much every tv show does that. Not just that one. I like to consume products but it's not all I do. I think it's normal to want to buy things. It's no different than buying the hot new laptop or whatever. And I hate self help books because most of those a-holes are tools. Damnit Jbonz I think we're fucking agreeing with each other in some backwards way shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I have a hangover. Shhhhhhhhhhh.

No, SATC is worse than most shows because it pretends to be about empowered women. The feminist movement is not about making your own money so you can spend it all on getting your cuticles pushed back and having freedom of speech so you can complain about how small the penis of a undicknified* man is.
*The man has no dicknity because he willingly made "love" with one of those trollops.
The show makes it seem like you can't contribute to society and suck cock in the same lifetime. If only those divas knew that sex with a man you love is much more satisfying**.
**Their semen tastes like milk duds to you!

Oh, iln. that's not always true. Sometimes you just want them to get in and out so you can roll over and go back to sleep. Plus, I think it tastes like malted milkshakes.

Also, I personally never watch tv to search for people to emulate. I would hate for my daughter to want to be like any character on tv. There are none worthy of that honor.

I prefer to watch my shows based on which either I find interesting or are so trashy and I can mock and laugh at them. I'm sad Rock of Love is over. I shall now quietly weep in my beer.

For some reason instead of, "whether" , I wrote, "which either". Freaky.

Dicknity is definitely an Alexyss K. Tyler term. I like it.

Jujubees, you may not try and emulate them, but many people do. I know when I was eleven I tried to be like the females I saw on television. And a lot of my classmates haven't been disillusioned. SATC presents the characters as heroines. The makers of the show support promiscuity, frivolous spending, and behaving in a high-maintenance manner. By laughing at these traits, you are mocking the makers. But with shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, the makers mock the odious characters with you.

jujubees says: I’m never sad when I shop.

Shopping makes me so sad. I feel bad for the security guards who just stand there and have to put up with watching too many people with too much money buy THINGS. And then I feel bad that some babies don't have food but people will spend $5,000 on a PURSE. A pretty purse, but still. It's like I'm Catholic I have so much guilt.

I never hit a movie in the theater without at least two tallboys stashed in my purse, If I am going to shell out the big bucks I want to have a good time. It is also much easier to watch a crappy movie all the way through with a good buzz going.

I enjoyed the television show but I never tried to emulate them, I prefer to spend my money on the finer things in life like my kid, food, booze and pot. I definitely miss Rock Of Love, it was the highlight of my week for so long.

All I can say about this "milk duds" and "milkshake" notion is DAAAAMN. I would suck so much more cock if my husband tasted so delicious, he is a terribly picky eater though so he tastes more like…well just plain foul.

It's entertainment! I wish people could get down off of their soapboxes for long enough to realize that.

YerMom- We were just joking that when you love somebody, even their semen tastes sweet to you. I've never even given head and jujubees husband's jizz tastes foul, too. But to make piss taste good, drink diet sodas. (What? You don't like to drink urine?)
emily- Thank you for explaining that a movie is entertainment. Why don't you go elsewhere, so, you know, you can show them the light, too.

Does that work for semen too? Can I make my man drink diet soda so that his jizz won't taste like warm salty soft serve?
My gag reflex just kicked in.

I agree with Emily. That is exactly what I say about Minstrel shows.

*winks!* (just in case…)

All semen has a unique taste. Remember that sperm only makes 1 percent of the semen, so the taste can be altered. Women often wish semen could taste less salty and bitter. Here are ways for men to make their semen sweeter through a change in diet (the products don't work!), if the female can't suck it up to literally suck it up.
-Cut down on pollutants like caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, recreational drugs.
-Cut down on junk food
-Take Zinc and selenium supplements. They help keep sperm healthy.
-Drink plenty of water.
-Eat plenty of fruit. Papaya, cranberry, melons, pineapple, grapes, apples are especially effective because they are high in natural sugars.
-Eat plenty of vegetables. Especially ones high in chlorophyll like parsley, celery, and wheatgrass. (NOTE: Cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower actually worsen the taste!)
-Cut down on red meat. Red meat is usually the reason one's semen is salty. Go for lean protein like turkey and chicken.
-Many people complain especially of the effect fish has on semen. But since fish is very healthy, stop being a pussy and suck it up.
-Eat plenty of cinnamon, cardamom, peppermint, and lemon.
-Heavy spices that are high in sulfur like garlic and onions make the taste of semen foul, but they also keep the man healthy, so shut up, bitch.

NOTE: The food you consume takes between 12 and 24 hours to secrete. So, if you feel like being generous, you can sweeten up your semen for a set time.

Awww…no no information there. I guess he's just going to have to continue to deal with my "no swollowing/gargling" policy.

no *new* information. I need a stiff drink.

Hmm, I think my husband does the opposite of everything on the list. I am just glad the "milkshake" deliciousness was a joke, I was starting to resent my husband.

Word to No. 8 jbonz…

The song sucks and doesn't fit the film. Why is hollywood soooo infantile?? This is a film for WOMEN…right?
