Wasting your life on Kim Kardashian and fashion

I express my hatred of the fashion and celebrity industry and the people who dedicate their lives to it.

Please ignore the fact that I didn't watch 'The Devil Wears Prada' to the end. I was simply using it as an example to further illustrate my point.

I respectfully disagree about fashion. It is full of beautiful freaks and defended mainly by women. The grotesque and the chic collide, split apart, and recombine in fantastic ways. The problems it has exist because of industry, where commodification is inherent, not with fashion itself. This distinction is important so we can tease apart the corrupting systems from the creativity.

Why do you have a tattoo on your boob? Fashion?

Was it a good use of money?

The most interesting part of your video for me was the class analysis, and how consumer goods are often a sign of status and a way to stratify populations. But I didn't feel that you went into enough depth into it, and the out of context viewing of a scene from The Devil Wears Prada also hurts your overall point.

Making Youtube videos is also a waste of time. You could have spent that time volunteering at the local homeless shelter or cleaning up litter.

Everyone has time wasters and things they do just for fun. It isn't really an argument against them to say that their time could be better spent on something else, as that applies to almost everything we do.

My thoughts exactly. SUBSCRIBED.

A book? Are you mad, seriously i've heard some fundies claim that books are bad & "The ONLY book I need is the BIBLE" It's great to see kids starting to get back into reading again, the Harry Potter & His Dark Materials series were at the forefront of this resurgence yet are exactly the books the fundies would love to see banned. I have no webcam but i think this is a topic that needs addressing, think about it? Bye;-)

No hate, just a thought. If you had omitted the "Wasting your life" part out of the title, more of this vid's viewers may have been the people you aiming it at, otherwise you risk preaching to the choir. I've noticed this before with your vids (Which are great BTW). I do like the latest title though "Umbrellas";-)

@gobbo241: capito, Gobbo> However, I am shallow enough to notice that Kim K. has an incredible ass... :-)

[gobbo241]

@MrQuandoaroma yeah I understand, the thing is you obviously know the context of the magazine and I assume you are able to not let the superficial bullshit influence you. Not everyone is able to do this and take they take the content too seriously.

why do people buy the fastest computer they can get to play rather limited 1st person shooters instead of joining their computers in worldcommunitygrid to solve some problems relevant to us all?
