Pop Culture: Folks don't like Gwyneth Paltrow because they're lazy and jealous

Gwyneth Paltrow is out promoting her new cookbook this week, and before we get to the part where she explains why some people don’t like her, here are a few quotes from the book. Maybe there will be some hints in there:

• “I had my first bowl of gazpacho when I was fifteen in Spain, and the impression it made was a lasting one.

Who could forget? Oh, did you not spend your summers in Spain as a teenager? Oh what a pity. You really should have.

•  I grew up going to the island of Nantucket at the end of every summer.

The gazpacho was pedestrian, but the lobster more than made up for it.

• We’ve got a wood-burning pizza oven in the garden—a luxury, I know, but it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

And of course you should only burn Rosewood imported from Brazil. For seafood dishes I like to burn wood salvaged from Spanish shipwrecks—a luxury, I know, but it really makes a difference.

So there’s nothing in her book that people could interpret to be elitist or condescending, so why does she think some people don’t like her.
  
(Here’s) her theory: folks are “pissed off” because she’s driven and unafraid of change, while they’re not.
“It’s easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out,” she tells PopEater. “Everything in my life that’s good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it.”

Well there you have it. If you’re not a millionaire like she is, it’s because you’re lazy. With a little effort they could have had parent's who are Hollywood Royalty and their godfather Steven Spielberg would have given them their first role. When Gwyneth Paltrow started acting, she had nothing but 10 million dollars, connections, and a dream. It really is an inspiring story.

Cunt.

L7.  All old school should be like this.

Other: Tattoo's in the workplace

Tonight while browsing Facebook, I came across a site: Tattoo acceptance in the workplace .  Ok, so I don't have tats, but I don't begrudge anyone for getting them either.  However, I am a firm believer in the concept of everything in life having a consequence, good or bad.  This is a classic place to explore this belief of mine.

Enter lil miss Stephanie Marie Towne of Rhinelander, WI.  She (was) a lifeguard at the local YMCA.  Good job for your typical teenaged girl.  Then she went and did this:

She's surprised she got fired.  Her boss fired her for taking time off work to get this ink.  Her comment:

"I work at a YMCA as a lifeguard and I also do swim lessons...but now I can't do swim lessons anymore because my boss got mad that I took off of work to get my tattoo. Talk about discrimination."

Ok dear heart, it's teachable moment time, so listen up.

YOU'RE A LIFEGUARD AT THE FUCKING YMCA.  AT LEAST, YOU WERE.  BUT YOU DECIDED THAT SCARRING YOUR BODY WAS MORE IMPORTANT.  THAT'LL LOOK SO HOT ON YOU AT AGE 60.  YOU PEOPLE IN WISCONSIN REALLY ARE PRETTY FUCKING STUPID.

People, if you want ink, knock yourselves out.  But understand, right or wrong, you will be judged.  This poor girl will now be judged as someone who enjoys facials, trains & bukkake.  Enjoy!  :)
