hey there kimoto dragon... I <3 joel mchale
On your recent Jimmy Kimmel appearance, you said that you haven't actually had any bad in-person run-ins with celebs you've dissed on the air. That was a popular question. MONA, however, wants to know who you're afraid to run into.
I fear Tyra. I don't want to know what she would do with me, but I think her wig doubles as some sort of incredible slingshot.
So, no contact with her yet?
No. Well, she tried to have us stop [showing clips], that's about it. I'm tryin' to think how I'm gonna word that... Let's just say she's not a fan of mine. [Representatives for Tyra Banks did not return calls for comment by press time.]
The only question we got that was somewhat critical of you was the following, from AA: ''Why do you go for the fat joke so often, and why is it only when a woman gains a couple? You're much funnier than that.''
Clearly, coming from a fat woman. [Laughs] What fatty asked that question? [To Lee] Is that bad? I seem to make fun of almost every feature of almost every human being on the planet, whether they're the Anorexic Twins or they are rogue elephants. So it's pretty much open season.... But, I like ''What fatty asked that question?'' [Laughs]
here is the rest of the interview, I just liked the fatty part

I'm confused.




Matisse's "Dance"



this was confusing to me b/c at first I was going to post about this and say something along the lines of "well that is fine if he wants to show images of non-traditional bodies our society usually rejects as being unattractive, but he could at least get women that are healthy and in shape where their health isn't in danger." and then I realized that while I am not as big as these ladies, I don't work out and I am definitely not in shape, so if he used people that were my size, would I have a negative reaction? but I still was going to write the same thing b/c I'm so sick of the words "body image," "concept of beauty," "what's considered beautiful," (thank you college women's studies) that I didn't want to deal with it.
and then I read this article where he was interviewed and now I'm confused. at first I thought he was just going for shock value or whatever and doing it so people would be like "oh wow, we do put too much pressure on girls to fulfill one body type" and I was like "over ittt" but then I realized he was going for something more than a reaction. he talks about how he doesn't photograph his subjects as sexual or erotic beings and he's not photographing them as objects, and he does talk about my previously mentioned annoyed words, but he does it in a non-annoying way.
but mostly, I like this about what he said:
What do you expect the average art audience will learn or take away from this project?
"I didn't set out to teach anybody anything with this work. I set out to explore a cultural phenomenon. If it creates conversation, if it creates discussion, that's fine."
b/c I feel like most artists are like "people will be better human beings after they see/experience my art" and I'm like "shut up you are annoying"
I don't know. now I am confused if I think this is amazing or if I am still grossed out at that much cellulite and don't want to look at it. probably both.
I'm confused.
