Surprisingly and fortunately, racism on MollyGood was at an all time low this week. While that's fantastic, it effectively neuters "MollyGood, Bad and Racist." But, I'm happy to see it go under such circumstances.
This week, inspired by Rosie's cut-and-paste poetry, I've decided to try my hand at the technique. Below is the first installment of "MollyGood, Bad and Poetic," a poem composed of solely reader comments. I've only added some punctuation and capitalization, the rest is your doing. Well done!
I like this one. It's got a slight tinge of tainted love just in time for Valentine's Day. Enjoy, all.
Best,
Cord
PS Call me a pussy, but "Hey Jealousy" is great.
OMG #36 LOL
Ew, gross…SHE SUCKS ANYWAY
I now love you, with 800 gallons of shit, anyway.
I bet he'll make an appearance. He's so goddamn trashy. No one has made mention of his tiny penis yet.
Does he live in the valley?
He hasn't matured; he's still blaming others and being irresponsible. You are naive.
The consequences should not be softened because of money and power.
Exile in….a gay neighborhood in Africa.
Some women will never learn. The kind of woman that gives men an excuse to say women aren't funny.
When is she going to realize that she isn't 17 anymore?
Welcome to the wonderful dating scene in LA…don't have daughters.
Good call, Angela.
Quite an eventful and mercurial week at MollyGood, huh? In case you don't know, it went from me calling Gwen Stefani a bad feminist, to everyone calling me a bad misogynist. Whoops!
Anyway, throughout the week, I did learn a few things. I learned that you can spell the name "Kate" in a variety of different ways, and that they'll let you know this with a variety of different opinions. I learned that some people spend more time on blogs than the bloggers themselves. And, I learned that the best way to fight misogyny is probably not with homophobia.
Best,

Cate says: Cord, If you need an answer to the debate as to whether or not women are funny, just ask those of us who miss Molly. Molly was funny. You are not…
Kate says: HA! You hit that nail on the head, Cord!
Cait says: Best analogy I've read in a long time…SHUT UP says: CORD, go suck a bag of dicks!!! That was a terrible and sexist remark toward women. SHAME ON YOU!!! You sorry ass cock smoking queer!
CactusHead says: Women can be funny, but I think we can see that some don't have a sense of humor…..From this woman, you're doing a great job, Cord.Ross says: Brandy is Black ?
angela says: If K-Fed is good enough for Raffi, he's good enough for me. So when did Raffi start dyeing his beard?Ash says: You suck, Cord. Nice name - shouldn't you be on a rowing team somewhere? Eat shit.
This is a Chromeo video for "Needy Girl." It's actually an old song but, if you haven't heard it, check it out. I've kinda been obsessing over it this week.
Anyway, another week, another motley assortment of funny comments, frightening hate-speech and odd inquiries. For the record, I've never had an abortion.
Best,
Cord
• The Final Word says: Someone should burn a cross on his front lawn, that should straighten him out!
• Laura says: Hi. You're stupid. Perez and Trent own you.
As I've quickly learned, MollyGood readers are a pretty vocal bunch. Whether they're praising Chad Lowe's sex appeal, virulently bashing me or being hypocritically critical and calling a bigot a "stupid, violent nigger" (great, right?), everyone's saying something, and proving that I definitely can't please all of the people all of the time. Here's the best of the bunch from my very first week:
• Rachel says: This website has been crap since Molly moved to PopSugar.
• Suzie says: Your photo is so smug and annoying. Jesus Christ.
• princess says: LOL cord you rock!!
• mla says: So far me likey! You've made me laugh out loud several times - excellent!
• Wren says: …Cord, thanks for taking over. I like the way you write.
• Kelly says: As a Canadian I would just like to say…Fuck you.
I should mention, I refuse to censor the comments. Feel free to say what you think. But, can we try to not call people "stupid niggers" and "pole smokin' fags?" I don't think that's too much to ask. Have a nice weekend. I hope to hear from you next week.
Cheers,
Cord
