Ojai Fest on Carson Daly

[Ace of Harbor Bay]

Look! Pirate losers!!

Well, I guess they say any exposure is good exposure.

Man she was a pain in the arse.

Man she was a pain in the arse. 

1st obvious to me Blank is the biggest loser in the Boob department!

2nd Blank will never get a date playing Halo..

3rd We as pirates RRR still more entertaining than Blank will ever be!

[Black Hearted Pearl]

They sent her to the wrong faire. The lesbian faire is called Lilith Faire. Poor thing was so confused by seeing her cleavage for the first time.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Bitter little thing isn't she? Well when one wears really cheap shirts and looks like a young boy....

[Skull pyrate Carter]

I only wish she was funny in personality and not just looks.

(What ever happened to the camera adding 10 lbs.?)

[Iron Bess]

Yeah Ace... what's up with this Odd effect you seem to have on women??

[Rumba Rue]

There is no problem that can't be solved with the proper application of black powder.

[Matty Bottles]

Seriously, who cares? Does this warrant insults and personal attacks, even if she slung them first? Even if someone were to observe that this was a segment on a show nobody watches (a statement more germain to the conversation than slurs against her looks, figure, fashion sense, or sexuality) it would still be a hardly dignified response. Not everyone is in to pirates, and yes, some people think those who are are losers. Surely we've had to face this before?

I don't do this because everybody thinks it's cool. I do it in spite of what anyone thinks. And I think we all do, to a degree, so why not just let it roll off our back?

[Kenneth]

I'm giving her a pyrate name........from this day forward, her name will be......................Horse Face.

[Black Hearted Pearl]

Seriously, who cares? Does this warrant insults and personal attacks, even if she slung them first?

I'm fine with someone throwing insults. If you can dish it out, you had better be able to take them as well. Let it roll off her back.

My 'tiff' with this 'commentary' was her last statement of "I want a refund." The Wixons and participants work hard for this festival. Her 'shock jock' insults crossed the line of liable with this statement.

Shouldn't that be... SEAhorse face???

You know, if someone were to comment about how she seems unable to divorce herself from public perception in order to enjoy unusual past times, you'd be on to something. If someone were to comment that she is trying to appear 'edgy' or 'indie' while appealing to tepid middle-class American notions of normalcy, that would totally apply. If someone were to point out that she doesn't even have that many good jokes, but rather trots out the tired old-tropes signifying humor without actually being humorous, that would be a totally valid criticism. But to sit here and call her a flat-chested, horse-faced, badly-dressing, lesbian is simply childish. It is the internet equivalent of 'oh, yeah, well, you're ugly.' It makes us look like poor sports.

And frankly, I doubt that anyone who went gives her 'I want a refund' spiel much creedance. That doesn't cross the line of liable. If you walk out of a movie you didn't like, you don't have to keep your mouth shut about it lest you risk a lawsuit, do you? I appreciate that you want to honor the Wixons, but I am not sure how calling her a flat-chested lesbian is supposed to accomplish that.

[Ace of Harbor Bay]

We was all thinkin' it ...they was just sayin' it.

As far as I am concerned...she was an ass to have to deal with for about 10 minutes while she tried to get me to do somethign stupid and break character, etc.

So...flat-chested?..obvious and she called it out herself.

Lesbian?... I doubt it...she's probably not getting much of anything with an attitude like that.

Look...

lets just call it like it is:

A cheap attempt at humor...that didn't work.

She is a wanna-be (God please don't let me go back to being an intern) MTV v-jay on a verey late, late, late, late show that just...doesn't matter.

But she tried.

[oderlesseye]

It's fair play and not childish at all to disagree with Blank

Eye obviously don't share the genes of those who are aristicrates of good behavior ~ PIRATE!

[Abrams]

Waiiiiit....

you mean to tell me it's pronounced "O-hi?" Leave it to the Spaniards to make their J's sound like H's!

[Matty Bottles]

Exactly. There's really no reason to say any more than that.

I don't think it is either, but I do think it is childish to resort to personal attacks. I can be as mean and spiteful as the next person, but I do think there are times to take the high road, and yes, I would say that this is one of those times - particularly because there is nothing to win. The piece is already out there. Simply saying that's it's too bad she doesn't know how to relax and enjoy herself says more about both her and you* than name-calling.

* that, of course, is a general 'you.'

[Graydog]

All I know is that's a right fine flag at the end of the bit.

(The Skull of the Double Cross Flag is ours)

[Skull pyrate Carter]

Why can't we be childish? Please oh please, I am told to be an adult everywhere else especially about everything else, and now we cannot be childish with the name calling on a Pirate Pub?

[Jacky Tar]

But to sit here and call her a flat-chested, horse-faced, badly-dressing, lesbian is simply childish. It is the internet equivalent of 'oh, yeah, well, you're ugly.'

I believe Jack doth hav a point... We should use more flowery language t' bestow our wrath on the fair head o' the lady in question.

I rather like...

Behold thy mirror thou droning codpiece-sniffing flax-wench.

(Has a nice ring t' it, an she can Google it's meanin' 'tween her games o' Halo.)

[Red Cat Jenny]

In defense of those who feel the freedom of opinion is their right (those who agree)

and against people who need to seek some pathetic, uninspired, narrow minded, directionless, vapid * YAWN *stab at humor at the expense of others because they couldn't find real material if slapped in the face with it (her)

Im with Black Hearted Pearl....

"I'm fine with someone throwing insults. If you can dish it out, you had better be able to take them as well"

or to rephrase....reap what ye sow....turnabout is fair play

or how about who invited you?

or a movie title "The Uninvited"

or a quote "Better to be silent and thought an ass - than open one's mouth and prove it."

You are fully intitled to your thoughts..

I have no problem with my opinion

[Patrick Hand]

You'd kinda think that a web page by a major corp. could at least work....

I tried three times to see it... and all three times it don't work....

Oh well.....

And people wonder why I don't have a tv.......

[Mary Diamond]

2nd Blank will never get a date playing Halo..

OI!

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it ~ we Gamer Geeks take as much offense to name calling as Pirates do. Halo gets my blood up, and is a consistent and reliable outlet for irritation and stress, unlike sporadic events and occasionally moody folk.

As Such, You can call me CAPTAIN. And, as to the date comment, my loving Hubby of 10+ years supports me, plays with and/or against me, and takes quite well the fact that I Outrank him (well, at least I did until I went away to Lockhouse for 6 days).

No one was directly rattling yar cage..However now that ye has spoke up

Eye my as well give reason for the attitude..Eye am a World of War Craft widow..My wife plays 4-6 hrs a day and most week-ends..Too much in my book.. So that said Eye am intitled to my opinion as much as you RRRR yours... No fault no foul says Eye!

And as to being childish...I had my fun and ye can't take that away from me! Nenner ..neeneerr..

After thinking about that..Maybe I had a serious problem of taking

Blank Serious over something that in reality is about fantisy thet from Blanks point of view it makes sence to call us loosers! Eye still find that no more acceptable than the politically correct way that has been interjected into folks ( Pirates )wantin to blow of some steam... Better here than in reality!

[Mary Diamond]

Naw, silly, no offense taken! I know better than that with this group. Just throwing a bit of support out for my fellow gamers.

My hubby would be a Halo widower, if he didn't also play, as well as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and anything he can download. But we also play together, inside and out. Just another hobby, says I.
