I never knew Voice of Reason was so hot!!!!

This article is mean and cheesy. Is there some value system underlying this story? Has an injustice been committed that we desperately need to know about?

Isn't the soul-suckingness of Hollywood well known by now?

I just don't get the point.

Now I'm going back to chanting "lickspittle" in a Klaus Kinski accent.

That was a much more rewarding activity than reading this story.

If Cintra Wilson can conjure up Klaus Kinski's ex-roommate, well, that might be different. I want to know his secrets for getting that giant vein in his forehead to stand out so far while he pronounced the word "lickspittle."

I have not been happy with Salon since I was able to turn to this site and its bloggers to comfort me through the devastating defeat to Bush*t. Now we learn Bushy lied again and we have the evidence on tape. Thousands died or are missing because of Bushy's negligence and arrogance, but Salon is preoccupied with David Chappelle, the Oscars and some chick who doesn't even have the balls to call "Jen", "Jen".

Hell, Jeb will probably be the next president.

I've actually never read anything by Cintra Wilson except that weird coverage of some political event or hearing at which she did not belong. I keep associating her with that weird picture where she (or someone else) is posing in a very Celine-Dion-album-art type of way, covered in gold.

Check it out, though! I didn't realize she was such a purist, she and her friends with their whacky pictures and fantastic eyebrows. I'm nearly overcome with admiration.

But seriously, I LIKE Jennifer Aniston. I think she's underappreciated (hello? weakest character on Friends was, and forever will be, Courtney Cox, who attened the Horatio Sanz School of Acting, and cracks up in the middle of nearly every scene). I'm one of those people who WILL buy the People magazine to see how Jen is coping, what Angelina wants to tell her, etc. I doubt those magazine sources are any more reliable or "in" than Nancy, but at least People has the good sense not to out the source and show how flimsy the entire story really is to begin with.

Are we going to read about your other contributing writers' buddies in future "articles" as well, Salon.com? Or just semi-famous ones?

If Cintra Wilson threatened to never write for Salon again if this "interview" hadn't been published, I'd say let her go...

Amazingly, a few hours prior to reading this piece, a student was interviewing me for a class about bullying. We got into a discussion of verbal bullying and jockeying for status among girls in middle school...then we agreed that it still went on in high school...and college...and then she said "Does it still go on in the workplace?" Looks like the answer is yes, even in high-profile workplaces (maybe especially in high-profile workplaces). Pretty depressing!

Assuming fashionista is right (and why wouldn't she be, it makes sense to me)and "chicken cutlets" are actually cleavage-enhancing bra pads, it's pretty disingenuous for Ms. Balbirer to use that as an example of "shit" she was uncomfortable with. Is it honestly that big a deal to pump up the cleavage a little? Sure hope my school doesn't fire me for my attire at the Christmas party two years ago.

How can the casting director see your ice-cubed nipples when you have chicken cutlets in your bra?

The so-called "chicken cutlets" (and now that I think about it, that's a rather apt name for them) don't go in front of the entire breast, nestling between the breast and the bra, like those old-fashioned foam rubber things that we may remember our moms wearing in the 1950s-60s; instead, they nestle UNDER the breasts, giving the same effect as a foam-rubber "push-up pad," but with a more-natural breast-like bouncy movement and consistency (since they're made of silicone).

Think of them more as "breast shelves" instead of "breast covers", and you'll have an accurate mental picture.

And, as for "perky nipples," I understand that it's no longer necessary to use the old "icing" trick. I didn't happen to see the "Sex and the City" episode in which these devices were discussed and modeled, but I understand that there are stick-on pastie-type thingies that give their wearer a very noticeable "nipple hard-on" appearance.

And I am not talking about the people who liked the aryticle, but the countless people who took time writing about how much it sucks.

Get a damn life

Just look at that photo of Cintra and her phony puffy-lipped friends and you get an idea of the level of vacuity at the heart of this article and what is happening to Salon. I mean, another piece on Jennifer Aniston You have to be shitting me.

I'm glad I'm not the absolute only one who considers this piece to be comedic. It's just satire. Really uninteresting satire, but satire nonetheless. Look no further than the photo at the top of the article. Cintra and her pals just look like some stupid "Upright Citizens Brigade" style performance art group, whose "work" revolves around them living their dreams of the easy life of famous-for-being-famousness by "critiquing" it. That whole "Jane being smarter than Mamet" bit was kind of funny, though.

Wait...or am I the dupe here? All those righteous, earnest letters, were they just part of the same meta-piece? I hate the post-modern.

Every couple of months or so I see some article referencing someone called "Jen Aniston" in Salon, and recently read that posting anything concerning this person was a big draw for your readership. It's snowing out today, and I've nothing better to do, so I decided to drop in and see what the stink was about.

What the fuck?

This is some kind of irony thing, right?

Oh. My.

Never mind....

ahansen

Puh-leeze, we only have this woman's word that the tabloids were "hounding" her for dirt on Jennifer. What did she do, go around wearing a T-shirt saying "Jennifer Aniston used to be my roomate" then refuse offers to talk about it? She was so noble, right?

She was trying to establish her career and didn't want to go to the tabloids for fear doing so would backfire.

Yup. She "held on" all right. She jealously guarded that little nugget to her bosom with her gnarled little miserly hand.

And she knew just when to use it. Jennifer is vulnerable right now, she needs favorable public opinion to deal with the fallout from her divorce.

Nothing like an opportunist -- and you can bet she's still guarding nuggets with all her other "friends", which is why I reiterate -- Cintra, watch your back.
