Idk just listened to that for the first time, more than half of the lyrics pass me by, I can't hear what he's saying. I know nothing about his "flow" or image, if he's difficult to understand more often that youtube comment seems like an innocent pun to me?

It's the edited version so 30% of the words are missing, rendering it unintelligible. Not sure that was what the commenter was getting at though. Maybe they mean a version where the main basketball metaphor is replaced by one from netball or field hockey.

Yeah, kinda racist that they use a black guy to model a black shirt when they don't use a plum heathered dark slate wee stripe guy to model a plum heathered dark slate wee stripe shirt

I'm not sure if it's racist, I just thought it was an odd choice to have the same white model for the other three colours, but when you click "black" you get a black model.

What's weird is that the "black" shirt worn by the black man isn't actually black! It's more grey isn't it?
― I certainly wouldn't have, but hey. (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 18 November 2011 11:09 (twelve years ago) link
it's lighter than the other grey shirt!
― crüt, Friday, 18 November 2011 11:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, it's weird the other two grey shirts are called "dark slate heathered dark slate classic stripe" and "black herringbone", but that one is just "black" (instead of "black TV static" or whatever would be appropriate). That's why it feels like some ill-thought joke.

Anti-Roma hatred, even among 'enlightened leftists' in Britain, is the last acceptable bigotry.
surprisingly and worryingly true in Ireland as well. When EU enlargement happened in 2002 or whenever, news people considered it perfectly reasonable to ask ministers whether this would mean that Ireland would be flooded by Roma.
More recently a prominent commentator and moron in one of our more reprehensible newspapers has been ranting about how his area of Dublin has been taken over by Roma beggars. Apparently there were no beggars in Ireland before Roma immigration.

hunger games is a YA dystopian trilogy that is not entirely dissimilar to twilight

I haven't read it, but I was led to understand it was less pathetic and more bloodthirsty, like a toned down Battle Royale

I never saw the Battle Royale movie but the book was SUPER ENTHRALLING
I've been avoiding The Hunger Games because I wasn't sure I wanted to read Battle Royale Lite; having them linked more directly to Twilight is even more of a turn-off

I actually wanted to start a thread for a serious discussion about "movies that should've been video games" but then I realized that I don't really care about the thoughts people really have about either I just like interacting with them
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 18 November 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link
i like the books, with some reservations. the way they're like twilight is the way a lot of ya books about a girl are like twilight: there's a love triangle. they're a lot better than twilight, like almost everything in the world.
