This peasant doesn't realize I loathe hydrangeas....

46 ટિપ્પણીઓ:

Curious George કહ્યું...

I absolutely loath hydrangeas too. Oh, wait, I have hydrangeas confused with Madonna. I always mix those two up.

Michael E. Lopez કહ્યું...

What? She hates hydrangeas. What's she supposed to do, pretend to like them just to be polite?

Oh wait.

That's what she did.

Her only real offense was forgetting that she was near a mike and was on camera when she was having the sort of exchange that we always have with our friends and confidants in situations like that.

Painting her as some sort of condescending aristocrat with that post title doesn't really do you justice, Professor.

Clyde કહ્યું...

What, did a hydrangea run over her puppy when she was a kid or what?

Sal કહ્યું...

She looks damn good for 53.

Bob Ellison કહ્યું...

I'm with Madonna. Cross-dressing African carnivores of all types fill me with rage!

No, wait...feeling a little dyslexic this morning.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

No, Michael, her offense is that she said it while sporting a mild British accent, and she is a working-class girl from Detroit.

Listen to the way she pronounces 'loath.'

Meade કહ્યું...

You might think hydrangeas are Madonna's favorite plant but it's thoughts like that that've nearly ruined this country.

KCFleming કહ્યું...

"Her only real offense was forgetting that she was near a mike and was on camera"

She's pop royalty, and so is nearly always near a mike or on camera. We cannot assume she didn't intend for this to be heard. But let's say she 'forgot', or thought she was somehow out of range from the mike sitting directly in front of her.

The price of massive fame includes the loss of private moments when such remarks are heard by the chosen few.

The benefit is that she doesn't have to give a shit what lowly people like me think about her.

Ralph L કહ્યું...

She probably assumed a real fan would know her flower preference: the Red Hot Poker.

This smells like Titus bait.

KCFleming કહ્યું...

I think "I absolutely loathe hydrangeas" will be a nice thing to say when I'm feeling above it all.

Beta Rube કહ્યું...

I thought the flower was puffy and awkward.

I would have done the same thing, but you don't send me flowers anymore.

ndspinelli કહ્યું...

I never found her worth even a minute of my attention. Since this clip was 16 seconds I watched. Now, she is not worth 10 seconds of my attention. Thanks for lowering the the bar.

Lyle કહ્યું...

Not such a diva moment. I give you a kiss darling.

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

It looked like a heck of a hydrangrea. My wife loves hydrangeas.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

"She looks damn good for 53."

That's heavy makeup. You should see the horror she is without it.

Mick કહ્યું...

Where did she get that British accent?

Tim કહ્યું...

Posuer.

prairie wind કહ્યું...

She looks damn good for 53.

Like a virgin.

MnMark કહ્યું...

lemondog કહ્યું...

Hydrangeas gave her a bad **but of course she s/b use to this** review?

Need a Chip Ahoy inspired animated hydrangea popping out of her head....or other orifice.

exhelodrvr1 કહ્યું...

How do you think the hydrangea felt?

madAsHell કહ્યું...

The longest 15 minutes of lame.....evah!!!

Shanna કહ્યું...

How can you loathe hydrangeas? It's not like they're carnations :) (j/k, Madonna is a jerk).

Sal કહ્યું...

I don't loathe any type of flower. It must be a woman thing.

Eileen કહ્યું...

Now, see, that was a fair dig at a celebrity.

And I'm not even thinking deeply!

virgil xenophon કહ્યું...

BINGO Quayle!

Triangle Man કહ્યું...

Madonna's entire career has been a series of examples of her reinventing herself. It's what she does. Why on Earth should she keep the accent she had as a child? What should she have replaced it with? An Althousian midlands?

MTN કહ્યું...

a) How do you loathe a flower?

b) 99% chance that guy just picked the flower out of a nearby flower bed. Who would actually buy a single stem hydrangea to give to someone? He was looking to get on camera.

KCFleming કહ્યું...

Oh hydrangea, how do I loathe thee?
Let me count the ways.

I loathe thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach....

R.L. Hunter કહ્યું...

She bought it at Marks & Spencer

Original Mike કહ્યું...

I detest hydrangeas also. They are butt ugly. (And don't get me started on the blue ones.)

Pastafarian કહ્યું...

I loathe whenever someone uses the phrase "reinvent oneself", particulary wrt "Madonna."

That's Madonna, an inventor. She's right up there with Edison and Tesla. Because she changed her hair style and put on a different sort of slutty outfit.

She has a British accent, Mick, because she's a natural-born Michituckian, and therefore eligible to be MBEPTOTUS (Make-believe English Pop Tart of the US).

Wince કહ્યું...

This other short video provides more context on:

1.) who gave Maddona the flower and why, and

2.) her ass.

edutcher કહ્યું...

Madge (I love the British tabloids) has been trying to prove to the world how sexy she is and then how classy she is.

She's failed in both efforts.

For God's sake, she's from Jersey. She needs to get over herself.

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

Mick, Are natural born Americans who adopt an unnatural accent disqualified from being POTUS?

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

Nobody should be giving Madonna anything.

One time I went to see Camille Paglia, and the announcement in advance was: don't give her anything.

There's good reason for that.

I understand you can get just about anything at Harrod's.

Amartel કહ્યું...

I love that there's always at least one devil's advocate in the comments around here. Thanks, Michael E. Lopez, for pointing out that Madonna did, in fact, exert herself to be polite and isn't getting proper credit for that enormous effort, and, really, she's doing us all a favor, actually, just by existing, and we're all insufficiently grateful, and leave Madge ALLOOOONE.

SteveR કહ્યું...

Didn't she get the accent when she married Guy.

Known Unknown કહ્યું...

Morrissey, however, likes flowers of all kinds.

Known Unknown કહ્યું...

I just noticed this post is missing a civility bullshit tag.

The Crack Emcee કહ્યું...

She was a bitch before she found spirituality and she's a bitch now.

So what's the point again? Oh yeah:

Feeling good about yourself,...

Oh this is for @CrackEmcee.

Came across someone who hates the New Age as much as you and considers Obama the great illusion.

Go to Amazon and pg. 200 of Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges.

Oddly, he's extremely progressive, but there's tons of common ground there...

JAL કહ્યું...

Why would anyone hate a flower?

Titus કહ્યું...

I love this.

She looks fab and she is bitchy.

More please Madge.
