I swear that I always intend to write a blog post that isn't just an advertisement for a youtube video I or someone else made, but today just isn't that day.
I made this little ditty for Amy Poehler's Smart Girls in time for the Oscar's, and I'm just showing you now because I'm trying to accomplish something in this day and this is the only thing I can decide on doing. Great.
So have you heard of that #askhermore business? It's basically just all about asking women on the red carpet more questions than just about their appearance and who they're dating. If you want my very serious and earnest explanation of the video and the hashtag click the "Amy Poehler" hyperlink in the previous paragraph.
Listen, I don't care if you ask someone about their dress and their appearance. I really like attractive people and I like them on my movie screens fo' sho'. But, the reality is it would also be really simple to start asking women about stuff that has to do with their career or any kind of question that would actually require them to use the jello mold living upstairs in that pretty head of theirs. Also, I think as a country, all of our contempt towards the Kardashians has been woefully misplaced, and we should all ask ourselves why we have let Guiliana Rancid (HAS ANYONE MADE THAT CONNECTION YET??? COPYRIGHT! COPYRIGHT! I'M USING IT FOR MY ROLLER DERBY NAME!!!) walk this Earth foot loose and fancy free of ridicule until this week. Finally, finally, this week that woman had to apologize for the damage she is doing to women in this country. (E!) True (Hollywood) Story, one time I drank a bottle of wine by myself and cried while I watched Fashion Police because I was so sad that anyone would participate in a show that was only meant to ridicule women WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES!!!
Anyway, here's my video, and down with the Patriarchy.
