Fey it Ain’t So
DAMN! The claws are out! It’s a total catfight between Tina Fey and all sluts everywhere! Beware waitresses at Hooter’s, Thanks to her episode of SNL last weekend, everyone knows you’re secretly responsible for the existence of Hooter’s! You and you’re damn hooters.
I’m not sticking up for Tits McGee or whatever her name is, but Fey’s “takedown” on the Weekend Update was overkill. Sure, McGee is a pretty tacky and may also be a Neo Nazi, but the real culprit is the dude that cheated on Sandra Bullock (or, if you believe in the “Oscar Curse,” the Academy). The victims, if we follow Tina’s logic, are hard working women who choose not to tattoo themselves or use their bodies to attract attention. Which would be okay, if the women in showbiz that have never had a hot or revealing picture taken of them weren’t so few and far between. Not that I object to seeing Tina Fey’s hot, hot legs and ass. Even in between the sketches on the episode she hosted! Not even then. But, as a woman I resent her flagrant use of the whore-word, and as a person I resent the hypocrisy (because chicks dig hypocrisy).
It’s not just the Women’s News segment. Tina, you brought us Mean Girls, the first all-female anchored Weekend Update, the first woman at the helm of the SNL writer’s desk, 30 Rock, and now you’re shitting on Dina Lohan? What gives? It’s not topical, it’s not warranted, it’s not even a very good impression, and most importantly it’s not funny. Not that anyone thinks SNL is trying to be funny, that dream, re-ignited when they hired the Lonely Island guys, was crushed when they fired Michaela Watkins and let Abby Elliot stay (Oh, and how’s that Michaela Watkins getting her own show thing going? Wow, for thinking someone should get their own show with such conviction that you fire them, Lorne really hasn’t done much else to make that happen. Not that he’s the type of guy to help people get their own shows or anything).
Writing this post is only really a reaction to reading the videogum review and deciding I’m the only one who cares about feminism because videogum doesn’t, or something. It just made me really sad to watch this episode, because Tina Fey is my hero, and Justin Beiber is an angel of sadness (Why can’t he stop nervously scanning the audience for his kidnapper?), but it also makes me sad to write anything remotely critical about Tina Fey, because she’s obviously not the problem any more than “whores” are. I just think, hey, let’s all try to create a world where women are allowed to wear whatever they want as long as they try to do good things with their lives? Like not steal husbands or pose with swastikas? In conclusion, I’ll apologize for the title of this post. Oh, brother!
This is fire Alice. On fire. Not hip to all the references but well said. But I would say Sarah Palin uses her bod/looks to get attention too. Or were you being sarcastic there? Not totally sure what is sincere and what is sarcastic. Would probably have better idea if I knew all the references. haha keep it up.
Yeah, I had to take out that Palin thing, I forgot about those revealing rifle images. Also the pic of Sultry Tina because it made me feel weird having it up there so prominently. But, thanks! You’re comments are always appreciated.
