Hey bitch, you’re still in the Top 10 Connectedness Index, whatever that means. You had a good run, kid, and the baddest bitches all love you. But sometimes Crappy Hour just ain’t worth it. Shake it off. You need to get your ass up in here and write some blogs instead of playing Rock ’em, Sock ’em Morons with the Obamabots. Big up ya chest, SinRoo!
See you at the crossroads! I’ll pick you up in my Retirement Golf Cart!
May 14, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I shall wager that the level of intelligent discourse will decrease, and the number of blog pimpers will increase.
I shall also wager that I will spend more time over on Buttercup, and significantly less on Jezebel.
May 14, 2008 at 3:02 pm
…we can finally have a civilized discussion without the inevitable SHOUTY CAPS LOC perspective.
May 14, 2008 at 3:55 pm
@Finally:
Whatever MsMichelle. Have your boring discussions and get the hell out of here.
May 14, 2008 at 3:59 pm
This combined NARAL’s politically retarded decision today has me seeing red.
Is the government pumping something into the air today to make everyone stupid??
May 14, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Dammit, now who is going to keep me up-to-date? The only political news I get somes from Sinny and Jon Stewart.
Such as.
May 14, 2008 at 4:33 pm
@Finally: it’s been a long day and I’m really tired, so I’m going to take a second to ask you if you really just left an asshole comment like that on this blog. On MY blog. On MY + SINISTERROUGE + TRIXIE + TAILFEATHER + BISCUITDOUGHJONES‘ blog.
Just in case you weren’t aware, this ain’t no Gawker half feminist/half dipshit blog that gives a shit about offending one’s delicate sensibilities. This is our yard and we will regulate.
May 14, 2008 at 4:50 pm
@Finally: BWAHAHAHAHAAAAW!
May 14, 2008 at 4:54 pm
What I loved most about Jez in the early days was the insightful discussions by commenters. I’ve thought for a while that the running dialogue has gone downhill, but this is truly a huge loss. I don’t really know that I’ll continue reading CH, b/c I always got more from the comment discussions than the posts themselves. Ugh.
May 14, 2008 at 4:56 pm
@Finally: also, you spelled “lock” wrong.
May 14, 2008 at 5:08 pm
KTS: Well, you’re welcome to come play here any old time.
Morgan: I think she spelled it “LOC” on purpose. Like Tone Loc, them caps is LOCO!
May 14, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Hi, Finally? I just wondered where you were on the royal blue versus midnight blue debate. Because that blue thing is still bothering my ass.
May 14, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Finally? Don’t mess with my bitches. There is no ugly talk here.
P.S. If you say something ugly about my pretty, pretty girl, I will reach through the internets and pinch your head off, such as.
May 14, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Well, I think I’ve made it abundantly clear how I feel about all this hullabaloo. B, what is all that gay pink shit on your thingee?
May 14, 2008 at 5:59 pm
OMG! That has to change.
May 14, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I’m still in shock. Also, totally furious!
May 14, 2008 at 7:08 pm
who is this Finally? and why is she being all cunty?
SinRoo- this is a travesty!
May 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm
SBJ: Pink triangles! I love it!
Hi Marin! Thanks for dropping by.
May 14, 2008 at 7:17 pm
You too Spicytamale, you cute little dickens.
May 14, 2008 at 7:23 pm
@SBJ: it’s either random geometric patterns in horrid colors or stupid looking monsters (if you don’t upload your own avatar) – I keep telling you hookers to inject some flair up in this piece.
@BAngieB: ooooh, I see just a bit of nasty bitch peeking – I likes!
@spicytamale: hi, sweetness!
May 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm
OK, I had NO idea you had a blog! Where the fuck have I been. Anyhoo… to Finally don’t make me let my ghetto out…
May 14, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Kadinsky: This is the second time I’ve heard about these ‘stupid looking monsters’, but I only get to see the geometric patterns. Does it depend on what browser you use or something? Because I’m curious about the monsters.
May 14, 2008 at 7:55 pm
In the great words of Florida Evans on Good Times: “Damn! Damn! Damn!”
That’s sux, you were like my only “friend” over there at Jezebel. Well, now that I know you gotta spot over here in the blogosphere – I’ll be keeping in touch!
May 14, 2008 at 8:05 pm
CeeJee! Welcome!!!
May 14, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Yo, Sin-Roo: I really tried to see where you offended the sensibilities of Jezebel (I effing laughed my arse off at the “panties dropping” comment meself, but I guess I’m gross), a website catering to the butt sex, turn-your-kitchen-utensil-into-an-orgasm-machine, and discussions on bodily fluids, but I just can’t seem to find it. Could ya help me out, por favor?
I agree with the commenter above, that the NYT was about 8 months toooo laaaate in their roll call on Jezebel. That beautiful bloom happened last summer, and shriveled around February, and fell off the branch the first of March. The concise and well-argued comments of past were the draw, and the blog posts themselves only set the stage. It’s been replaced by something any surfer can find anywhere on the web, i.e., boring talky-talk about personal anecdotes that lack wordly insight or even an informed point of view.
Viva la buttercup!
May 14, 2008 at 8:10 pm
@Kadinsky: Yo, my avatar is loaded. It has been loaded for weeks. It just doesn’t show up anymore.
May 14, 2008 at 8:19 pm
You guys what happened? Can someone give me a guide of where to start reading? I’m working a crappy temp job right now with no access to Jezebel and come home to read that Sin Roo is gone! It may be work/life stress but I’m incredibly upset right now.
May 14, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I am very sorry to hear that, I enjoyed Sinister Rouge’s posts, and felt that I learned something from all of them.
I was reading Jez last night, and something feels so very different there.
Not good.
Sorry, SR.
May 14, 2008 at 9:18 pm
A quick precis:
Things got ugly in a post last night in which Moe suggested people who call black people “darkies” want Hillary to win. You can imagine SinRoo’s response. I couldn’t even open it up and read it because it seemed designed to start a huge shitstorm.
People complained about SinRoo’s vitriol.
The subject of banning was broached and a fiery SinRoo said sure, ban my ass, go right the fuck ahead.
She left a farewell post in a later anorexia post, hijacking it to hilarious results. While a debate raged on about her execution, every five comments or so some young new dumbass would weigh in to say: “I’m five-ten and 130 pounds, but I still think I could stand to lose a few pounds because I like eat a LOT!” It was fucking hysterical. I was weeping with laughter at work. But enough about me …
So, now the editors via Hortense have made it clear SinRoo can return whenever she wants because she is loved and valued. But SinRoo isn’t sure she wants to return given what a playground of crybabies Jezebel has become, and she is sick of being the subject of complaints in posts that are clearly written and designed to spark impassioned debate.
I think I’ve got that right, don’t I, SinRoo?
May 14, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Whatever. I’d rather hang out here with the baddest bitches in town than wade through all the garbage that collects over on Jezebel.
SR, you rock.
May 14, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I was shocked to come back to Jezebel this evening and find out that Sinister Rouge was banned. That is some BULLsheeit.
May 14, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Fucking A…guess I have been under a rock today (quit caffeine, blerg), so I missed Crappy Hour. However, SR, you will be missed. I love your outspoken POV and smart sassiness. You will be missed :(
@Finally: Don’t make me put a flaming bag of dog poo on your doorstep! WTF. Ass.
May 14, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Can I just chime in here and add my 2 cents about what a joke the “clean up crew” at Jezebel is?
Way back in March when they announced the first of the executions, how did they claim to go about it? Through anonymous submissions by faceless/nameless commenters to the editors via e-mail. E-SQUEEZE ME, FUCKING PLEASE.
There was something about the announcement that did not sit well with me, and when the results were announced, not only were the truly annoying of the troupe not banned, but they chose to ban some of their best commenters. It reeked of pansy-assed methods and subversive tactics. Seriously, if you want to make people behave, don’t hide behind “anonymous tips” from commenters, and choose who you want to ban based on their cajones grande in standing up to others. This just makes you (i.e., the editors) look like you don’t know what the fuck you are doing, and that you NEVER read the comments unless someone is handing you your head on a platter (as SinRoo did with both Megan and Moe today).
More power to you, SinRoo. It must be tough on them to see you sweep in and enchant the ignorant masses, when they have to work so fucking hard to be cool.
No, I’m not PMSing…I’ve just been waiting a very, very long time to get that off my chest. I think I shrunk a bra size just now.
May 14, 2008 at 10:34 pm
@Paisley: Preach it, betch! Those executions got the Buttercups all excited for some good old fashioned trimming of the fat, only what did we get instead? We got a fuckshit Jenny Craig dietplan that left us pissed off, fed up and starved for something real.
FUCK THAT NOISE.
May 14, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Wait? Y’all? Am I still on notice? Oooooooo.
May 14, 2008 at 11:04 pm
I left work early today and missed all the fireworks. WTF?
What a shame. And it only makes the editors look cowardly, banning such a strong voice of dissent. Bad move, Jezebel.
May 14, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Why they don’t do it the way Gawker does it — good, public, fuck-you-and-your-stupid-comments executions — I will never understand. It’s so much fun when Gawker does it! And then everyone piles on and it’s even more fun.
Jezebel needs some more laughs and that would be a really sweet and satisfying wait to do it.
May 14, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Errr… WAY to do it.
May 15, 2008 at 12:59 am
I am so bummed about this! I am a reader of Jezebel, and signed up as a commenter several months ago. I hardly ever post but read it daily and always look out for comments by SinisterRouge.
Before the primaries I wasn’t sure who I would vote for. I was leaning towards Hillary, but my husband and all of my co-workers were supporting Obama. I LOVED Bill Clinton and always admired Hillary.
As my primary was nearing (I live in Utah) I was still waffling. However, that all changed after I started reading your comments. You are very well spoken and know your stuff. You made it easier for me to support Hillary and to tell my family and co-workers to suck it.
Jezebel has definitely started sucking. When I first starting reading it the comments were smart, witty, and informative, but it has been hi-jacked by sorority sisters.
I know this is a long rambling post, but I just wanted to let you know that you made a difference and I admire you immensely.
May 15, 2008 at 1:24 am
GO.ON. BRUSH.YOUR. SHOULDERS.OFF.
They are morons.
May 15, 2008 at 1:52 am
Wow, Sinister. That is some shit, but coming from Jezebel, I’m not entirely surprised. Heaven forbid you serve up the soup of smart and informed. Some days I scroll down and sincerely wonder why the fuck I read that blog. I think it might be for Pot Psychology, and the disdainful feelings that some writers invoke every time they prattle on about something they’re mad and painfully uninformed about. And the hypocritical shit they pull every 3 posts.
May 15, 2008 at 6:29 am
um, guys, I just wanted to point out that I’m 6’5″ and 83 pounds, but I eat really healthy, I swear.
May 15, 2008 at 8:36 am
I am five four and weigh 85 pounds. Everyone says I’m an anorexic and really hot even though I eat! I swear I eat! I just have really quick metabolism!!! I am so sick of all the skinny hate!!!
May 15, 2008 at 9:50 am
Pais,
if only you knew the 1/2 of what went down with regards to that 1st execution. It was handled wrong from the flo’ up. I can’t say more, but trust that everything that could have been done in a “WTFH?!” manner was done that way. I think a lot was learned from that 1st go-round, but still. The problem is still there. It’s totally the pink elephant in the room, and I’m glad we hashed a lot of our opinions out on that thread yesterday.
May 15, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Testing gay avatar, such as. Also, that I am a nice 5’11”, but I wish I was taller, because then at 90 lbs. I wouldn’t look so fucking FAT all the time. Sob. My water and almonds diet seems to be working out really well, though.
May 15, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Damn you, BDJ, for taunting us with your info. “I can’t say more.” Hmph.
May 15, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Hey, BDJ: Without even knowing the details I saw firsthand what lousy wenches our “comment whore” editors turned out to be. It’s fine when people attack each other in the comments, creating page views for miles, but, ‘lo…don’t let anyone stand up to the shitastic stuff that comes from on high. Repeatedly I have seen the tactics, and yesterday was no exception. I’m glad I missed the fireworks, because it would have been the second time I saw Megan scolding SinRoo and I probably would be banned as well.
It’s as though there are “tried-and-true” topics for building page views (i.e., rape, especially children or going unpunished; STDs, especially dumbass behaviors that get you branded with one; the ass backwards political posts; etc., etc.). I decided I’m not going to play along anymore. The commentary there has become a lot of dead weight. And that’s not muscle weight, that’s ass flap kind of weight.
I myself, was unofficially “disabled” one evening as I railed against Stacey? NO, Tracie! About the irresponsible messages she was sending to a site obviously overflowing with teen (maybe tween?) girls in her re-fucking-dic evangelism of the “stimga of herpes.” FUCK THAT. She literally posted she slept with a guy for over 2 years UNPROTECTED and never told him she had herpes. Nice message to send along with all of that “be nice to other girls” tripe. I was only able to get back on via the backdoor of another site in the webring. By then, others had posted what I had wanted to: Her facts on the medical aspect were irresponsible at best, dangerous at worst. So.done.with.that.
Oh, and just so y’all know: I’m 6 feet tall and weight 78 pounds and I like, eat all the time! I haven’t worked out since gym class in middle school ’cause it’s too much work to keep my pants from falling off my bony ass. People who tell me I’m too skinny are just haters. *mwah*
May 15, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Oh for crying out loud. You bitches are all piss and vinegar. Where’s the god damn open bar?
I’m on the Belvedere, Tomato Juice, Tabasco and Celery Diet. Bloody fucking Mary my ass. It’s the BTTC Diet. It works. Try it.
May 16, 2008 at 5:18 pm
OMG, Pais! I can’t belieeeeeeve you were ENABLED on Jez! I had no idea! I’m so mad now! You are one of the oldest and the best, and somebody enabled you in a huff? Poopie. Poopie poop.
Yeah, there is a TON of dead weight over there. Hortense is doing the best she can, within the “rules” for comment ettiquite, but it should be like Gawker, where the Mod can ban for what-fucking-ever. Grrrr. Poop.
May 18, 2008 at 5:39 pm
BDJ: Er, you mean “disabled,” right? Otherwise, effing hilarious freudian slip, ’cause I rambled on and on like a crazed woman up there.
I’m just saddened by the ruination of such a good thing over on Jezebel, but am very happy that the best of the bunch started this blog over here. Truth is, just like SinRoo said after her ban and before her resurrection: “I was spending too much time on Jezebel, anyway.”
