amanda palmer's open poem to jonathan chait (and other crimes)

surely that's worse than that simpy troll poem

the schools most renowned bully

i'm still trying to parse the outpouring of sympathy

smdh

So:

At the end of the poem, there's a link to donate to a relief fund for victims and survivors of the bombing.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER, there's a link to donate to Amanda Palmer, to compensate her for her time in writing her own blog.

this is so funny

five dollars, wonder what her acceptance rate is

this is messed up

Jesus, I always think you lot are a little bit harder on her than she deserves - I mean she's just a narcissistic nut doing what narcissistic nuts do - but this is really insane. It must be great to live so completely without embarrassment though.

you don't know how great it is

warning: hateful commenters trying to hack the blog by mimicking regular benevloent users’ names. please proceed with caution and respect.

. . .

you don’t know how to tell the girl in the chair next to you that you’ve been peeking at her dissertation draft and there’s a grammatical typo in the actual file name.

Oh my God you guys the fans of her fans are almost worse than her own fans.

where do i find the fans of her fans, is there some kind of earth-2 ilx for that?

just mention her on twitter and they come swarming

Hey Amanda Palmer, I heard you like fans, so I gave some fans to your fans so you can brag while you blog.

we're going to poll the poem, right?

there has to be more than the news, the facts. making art is how I deal.

connect the dots

we all are.

That's a terrible Gary Numan lyric.

that poem is the same icky nonsense as that sufjan song about john wayne gacy

commenters doing God's work over there

ugh, forgot about that song

maura voices a reasonable opinion

amanda palmer fans tell her she is wrong, while not rebutting anything and question whether maura provides anything of value in life

please keep it up, maura, my life has been improved in some way by this

I don't know who pome is but whoever it is, that person is my new hero:

i'm feeling a little confused -- it seems like this "poem" doesn't rhyme? do you speak a dialect that makes it rhyme, because if so i think you should put a note at the top or something

"water" and "order" could rhyme, if you say them right

Seems to me like you are the real "Dzhokhar" (Joker) for writing a poem that don't even rhyme!

Date says April 21. Was wondering if you meant April 1, because you look the "fool" when you don't rhyme poetry.

I wrote a poem about a boy.
A tragedy I didn't employ
A rhyming scheme when I did write
This travesty to words last night.

you keep deleting comments but it remains obvious that this doesn't rhyme and should really rhyme if you want it to be a good poem.

Was known to be quite a pot smoker
His brother expires
As he squeals his tires
His driving t'was ever mediocre

But if Tori Amos had a forum back in the day...

i believe the right bun is dzhokhardy-har-har

i believe the right pun is dzhokhardy-har-har

oops

hey at least it rhymed

removing bookmark from this thread not because of the zings of all u good ppl but to protect what's left of my sanity

Amanda Palmer turned on the news
To see panicking people flee
It was a national tragedy
She said "What a calamity!
Now how can I make this about me?"

<3

What a bummer (i wrote all the songs)

dying @ "carl poemliker"

descendent of edgar allan poemliker fyi

It wasn't me.

I'm mean, so I wanted to read that as 'carl pumlicker'.

Thing is, ALL of the bad press & criticism she gets for this feeds directly into her Artist-Fan Relationship and will be used in the future for sympathy/donations/etc. It's more or less the same thing as calling Sarah Palin stupid. The more you criticize, the more ammo you are giving her.

that said i can't help but wonder if any of her fans (or fans of her fans) have declared that max read needs to get laid. they do seem to disproportionately go after her female detractors. wonder why

no im feeling sort of snubbed actually :-(

maybe you should start referring to yourself as MAXINE read

any of the EMP ilxors going to take on AP?

I....will just say I was glad to be on the other coast.

oh wait, i guess it already happened? did i miss something in this thread or elsewhere?

can someone post the poem I'll be fucked if I load all 2000 messages and/or give her any web traffic

There once was a bomber from Nantucket...

"you don’t know how to stop picking at your fingers.
you don’t know how little you’ve been paying attention until you look down at your legs again.
you don’t know how many times you can say you’re coming until they just stop believing you.
you don’t know how orgasmic the act of taking in a lungful of oxygen is until they hold your head under the water.
you don’t know how many vietnamese soft rolls to order.
you don’t know how convinced your parents were that having children would be, absolutely, without question, the correct thing to do.
you don’t know how precious your iphone battery time was until you’re hiding in the bottom of the boat.
you don’t know how to get away from your fucking parents."

nb that is not the entire poem. you probably don't want to read the entire poem.

you can read the entire poem here should you so desire: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/77087877.html

you don't know how much you'll regret reading the entire poem.
