Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
More things I learned just now: "Far From Over", from the Staying Alive soundtrack, was co-written by the same guy who wrote "Dare" and "The Touch" from the Transformers soundtrack.
One illustration of why: when I first became a feminist twenty years ago, I had an old-school feminist (wearing bright pink lipstick, mind you) ask, “What’s a feminist like you doing wearing a miniskirt?” I said to her, “I got out of the patriarchy because it was always telling me what to do. I’ll be damned if I let anyone else do it, either.” I told her that automatically rejecting everything the patriarchy demanded was allowing the patriarchy to control you just as much as if you did everything it ordered. As long as you were simply reacting, you were still granting the patriarchy all the power. Part of feminism, to me, was the freedom to choose for myself after carefully thinking out the issue, and I wasn’t going to cede that power to ANYONE, ever again. Besides, damn it, I had good legs, and I wasn’t above showing them off.
However, it would slowly become clear that Tony Blair's pliant, Murdoch and business-friendly, transatlantic toadying administration merely set the seal on Margaret Thatcher's defiant, ultimately prophetic words - "There is no alternative" - a sleight of phrase which the entire, increasingly managerial and self-interested political establishment had now taken to heart.
In the book "Habitual words through history" Professor Heildrech examines the latent homosexuality worship in America and other such countries given their rephrasing of the word "Gay"
"What was once a descriptive term for positive emotions such as happiness, joy, cheerfulness, had now become linked to homosexuals, Interpretations of this evidence would suggest that users of the term felt that this emotion was in greater quantities of those who could be described as engaging in homosexual activities"
"What was once a descriptive term for positive emotions such as happiness, joy, cheerfulness, had now become linked to homosexuals, Interpretations of this evidence would suggest that users of the term felt that this emotion was in greater quantities of those who could be described as engaging in homosexual activities"
Is this a joke or...?
(The current use of the word "gay" comes from the old expression "going gay," applied to men who went from being very uptight or "straight" to very flamboyant upon becoming part of what passed for the gay scene back in the '20s and '30s. The more you know.)
Technically, it is a joke, but at the same time it's from a German professor who lived in the year 2052, so I couldn't fault him for his insufficient research.
