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

Fair enough, I guess I think of a troll as someone who knows s/he's a troll. I doubt that she believes she's trolling--she's teaching us about universal empathy.

I think she knows what she's doing when she responds to

you don't know that this isn't about you

with

and i thought: this is amazing. when was the last time a thousand people argued about a stupid poem?

or shared so many poems about something bad that had happened?

not any time recently, that i can remember.

jeez I thought difficult listening hour's posts were a hilarious spoof of what would be said by someone as narcissistic and delusional as only the hating-est haters on this thread claim AP is

and then I clicked through and... there it was, her actual post

(though I was getting a bit worried about possible negative side-effects for dlh after channeling such a mindset for that long)

Defending Amanda Palmer has become an exciting challenge. I feel like a lawyer whose client keeps exposing himself in the witness box and threatening to kill the judge.

jeez I thought difficult listening hour's posts were a hilarious spoof of what would be said by someone as narcissistic and delusional as only the hating-est haters on this thread claim AP is

haha same here

SO DID I! aaahhhh

god people who respond to backlashes with "discussion! yes! twas the goal all along!" are the best

the idea where the goal of writing isn't to express something, but to provoke anything

The rhyminess of poetry is a discussion long overdue.

this discussion of whether or not I am an asshole, it would never have happened if I hadn't been an asshole. that's what great art is supposed to do.

i really feel that an Amanda/Marissa collab is overdue

"I Never Her
She Never Him
What Gives, Today?
EMUUUUUUUUUUUU"

I feel like we're this close to AP saying that it is a good thing the bombing happened cuz now people are talking about poetry

or maybe AP could just sample MM without her permission. Then AP will get more than enough attention!

and i thought: this is amazing. when was the last time a thousand people argued about a stupid poem a specious comedy argument by someone named carl poemliker?

weird tweetcru was all over encouraging "why doesn't it rhyme" comments too.

xpost -- Read that as Carl Poemkiller

xp - read that as carl poemlicker - and thought of that one Aphex Twin video but with Amanda P rather than Mr. James

well that's tonight's nightmare taken care of

"Uhhhhhh....

Stanza."

brilliant trolling ap, A+

Maybe next year she can do a TED Talk about the negative reaction from this year's TED Talk.

i wish she'd misspelled the guy's name so that a bunch of people could call her out for misspelling the guy's name and then she could write about how it's fascinating how people reacted to her misspelling the guy's name, and what that says about art

"that ho was me" - amanda palmer

i just, you guys

Sometimes all you can do is roll your eyes and walk away.

I reckon AP asked Zach Braff to launch his Garden State sequel on Kickstarter today to draw fire. "Come on man, I'm dying here. Do me a solid."

the problem with that hypothesis is that it depends on AP asking someone to draw attention away from her

Zach Braff to launch his Garden State sequel on Kickstarter

hahahahaha did this really happen? I can't wait to tell Jeff (he has an irrational hatred of Zach Braff).

There's nothing irrational about hatred of Zach Braff.

mmm bottle of piss nom nom nom xxp

LEAVE AMANDA ALONE!

you know she is thinking this, she's probably got -just- enough sense not to share that thought with the world.

-watching my phone battery die.
-watching my business plans die.
-watching my husband fret deadlines and worrying if the next months are going to be harder than we thought.

time to break open another fan piggy bank

got a nice email from bono about art, timing & misunderstanding. if ever there was a guy who'd empathize with my past few days, it's him.

You think she's taken it next level, but there is Always. Another. Level.

Artists bear the brunt, Amanda. We take the slings & arrows, but also the wine & roses. Never forget, my Spider-Man was a fucking smash. One my most favorite cliches is "he who laughs last..." So don't you stop laughing.

Tell Neil his new book is stunning. The Dream King still rides with that one.

Your friend,

PS I still have not received the fingernails from your twitter auction. No rush, just wanted to remind you.

I want to believe in that letter

I thought it was real until I got to the fingernails, and even then I was thinking "we'll it's not impossible..."

Stupid phone hate u

if ever there was a guy who's empathize with an embarrassing egotist...

Totally believed it.
