ive learned some things about the internet all these years wasting tons of time upon said device: anonymity brings out the worst in people. trolls love to advocate the devil. no matter what it is, someone thinks they should talk shit about it or pretend they are the moral highground. but i agree, dude has a pair. if i had balls of such magnitude, i would probably do something slightly more awesome with it, like fly around and fight crime.

“She kills with her c***.”

“Liquid Sky” was a defining movie for me.

Thanks for bringing that back!

Jeff, you're too nice. Anyone who wears a haircut like that should be ready for some harmless poking fun. When I first read this comment, I thought, "God, what an uptight fuckwad."

Meh.

Anything you could say to the dude about his odd little nimbus of screwed up hair, he’s probably heard already. A person doesn’t just leave the house rockin’ that sort of madness without being prepared for the critique. It’s not like he was caught with his zipper down. This guy looked in the mirror, grabbed a comb and some industrial-strength shellac, and planned for the assault of unwanted opinions.

I don’t think you need to justify adding a little humor to the world at someone elses expense.

Have you ever cracked a joke about your friend? Your sister? My family and friends are full of love, with some pretty biting jest at each others expense.

You probably could have walked up to the guy with a smile saying: “Man, that ‘do is FUCKED UP!!!, with a hand up for a high-five. He would have given you one, and probably said thanks.

“Usually the think you have the most about someone else is the exact thing that you hate about yourself. You hate a risk taker because you don’t take risks yourself.”

Yeah, don’t buy that AT ALL. My making fun of someone has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with what they’ve done to themselves to make me raise an eyebrow and NOTHING to do with whether I’m afraid to be a risk-taker.

Rock on, Jeff. New reader here too.

Stephanie — which “you” are referring to? Me personally, or the general “you?”

And thanks to all of you guys for commenting, being willing to check back in. I’ll see if I can keep it up!

I’m personally just too hooked on the whole karma thing. I just don’t feel that it’s in my best interest to try and further myself by doing it at another person’s expense.

Usually the think you have the most about someone else is the exact thing that you hate about yourself. You hate a risk taker because you don’t take risks yourself.

And, yes another new reader. Because of the original post and the Boing Boing shout-out, but now definitely because you have the balls yourself to come out and love everyone as they are. Admirable!
