Today's Subjects: ----------------- RE: [EDA] Re: Evil Boobies ["Lew - New World Warehouse" ] Re: [EDA] Re: Lyric's/ta ta's along... ["Melissa Bruce" Subject: RE: [EDA] Re: Evil Boobies But here you are making an assumption - since when did we say that the FOCUS was the boobs ? So basically, when some of the EDAs talk about what she was wearing at an awards show instead of how she sang (which has happened a LOT on here), then she is being objectified ? When everyone wants to talk about what she's doing with Ty (which has nothing to do with her as a songwriter, musician, etc) on some trip - then once again, the focus is lost ? It's just being a part of a group that admires a person. I feel that it's totally just an excuse to be offended by the "Evil Boobies" (as stated in the subject). For some reason some aspects are ok to think about (even if they are unrelated), but then some are not. Once again - a total double standard. Now, given - the guys constantly sitting there going - "Oh yeah, what I'd do with those," or "She should do Playboy now," are being very crude, but in the long run do you think that they wouldn't think those thoughts normally ? You can't change the nature of people by sheltering them from things. I saw the pics and I just laughed about it - mainly because I know all the conservatives out there would throw a huge fit. A nipple can cause more problems than a 9mm handgun in this country. So I guess the answer to the problem is obvious. We must do what we do with everything else we consider dangerous in this country - - WE MUST BAN NIPPLES !!! Only licensed people who have tested and qualified to possess nipples should have them. That way, those dangerous objects won't be found in the wrong hands (or chests). Lew www.coilback.com Original Message: Well, I kinda have to dissagree here... I'm the first to admit that Jewel is hot. No big deal. Its the fact that it goes from just calling her hot or whatever now and then to all the time. Its the fact that when the focus moves away from the actual point of the artist (the music) to their looks, and then takes it even farther. There's a point you cross where you go from remarking on a woman's looks to just flat-out objectifying them. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 21:25:22 -0700 From: "Melissa Bruce" Subject: [EDA] Re: Lyric's/ta ta's "They say that ta ta's on the TV are OK, I wanna be OK too." If Jewel was any one of us, a wallflower compared to her social status, this whole thing wouldn't be such a big deal. I think if she's not trippin' on it, why should I (we...whatever)? If I have anything to say about whole thing, it's more about the lack of privacy, than what resulted by it. It sucks that Jewel Kilcher can't just be "normal" (normal in the sense of an everyday person, just another joe-shmoe sometimes ... no pun intended w/ the EDA email address... lol j/k inside joke to myself). Where was I? Oh ya... ::serious face:: She always has to be "Jewel." She can't be that wallflower that you and I are, even if she *really, really* wants to be, even for a second (like this whole TRL thing proved). People are people. Jewel's a person too. ::shaking monitor:: *overdramatic tone* Why can't we all just get alone?!?! ha!... sorry, I'm one of those people that laughs if someone is arguing w/ me or yelling at me lol... You'd have to stick a fork in my leg for me to be serious-serious for any extended amount of time (well w/ a subject like this) Bra's f-ing suck! Underwire is evil!!! Melee The Tourette's Angel : ) twa-rr-egg tour-eg twahr-eg damn commercials... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 21:30:11 -0700 From: "Melissa Bruce" Subject: Re: [EDA] Re: Lyric's/ta ta's along... along... i mean along... (not alone) > ::shaking monitor:: *overdramatic tone* Why can't we all just get alone?!?! (ya d*nm it... jewel and ty really wanted to be alone then... so i guess that works) I blame the whole misheard lyrics thing... ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V8 #442 ***************************
