the problem's in the video

i liked the tssssss manifesto, thought they had some valid points.
then saw the video. two posh giggling girlies disrobing in borders to a bemused theroux and his subsequent autographing of their breasts doesn't quite consitute his approval, and (scuse the phrase) really got on my tits - couldn't take a thing seriously after that.
oh and i believe the spelling the ladies meant to use is 'salacious'.

In fact its a bit of an insult to genuine womans struggles against oppresion and for liberation.
But nonetheless a pleasent enough diversion.

other ideas?
15.10.2005 19:16
I believe that The Tsssss...does have valid points and I am certain that other suggestions for publicising their campaign would be welcome. How can Zoe tell they're posh? (was it the appalling spelling error? ) you pay all those school fees and really can't guarantee results!
Normalise nakedness has got to be an admirable pursuit.
As for Louis Theroux, he makes his money and reputation through contact with thecurieous and perhaps not quite everyday activies of various folks around the world,
Nowt wrong with having a variety of emotional responses or even having a giggle is there now?
Apolgies in advance for any errors, it is saturday night,!

what does that mean+ -reply to Sam Fox
19.10.2005 01:30
sexually selacious - well, together with sociopathic, it implies some sort of juicy deadened sexuality (oxymoron?)
sirens - what you hear in an emergency.
and this may well be one.

the main beef i had with this posting is that the video (in my eyes) only served to make me think that it *was* a wind-up.
"we want it to be perfectly acceptable for local parks and swimming pools and gardens to allow topless women as they do in europe"
"we enjoy the simple pleasures of topless gardening, with the air circulating around out skin, and we wish to be able to take walks in the countryside topless without the fear of reprimand accusations of being loose women or without being prosecuted for indecent exposure."
i don't quite see how going topless in borders has anything to do with any of the above points. also, in terms of equality, why didn't they take a bloke with them to get *his* chest signed? (and why do men/boys never seem to want to have that done??)
niggled me slightly that they're campaigning *against* the sensationalization of the breast, yet take an action that takes advantage of said attitudes it (topless borders shocker! can almost see the sun headlines...). Maybe a more appropriate response would be a mass topless gardening session? Converge for a wide scale breastfeeding event in public?
As for ali's point about variety of emotional responses, I'm still trying to work out why I like the rebel clown army, enjoyed jeremy clarkson being pied etc but not this...?
few useful links maybe?

"that's my underinformed rant over with. " (After listing 4 different websites)
Your'e such an intellectual Zoe.
"and with me, drunkenness leads to the immediate assumption that anyone south of manchester is automatically posh."
Why do I have a niggling suspicion that you a very middle class yourself Zoe?
"As for ali's point about variety of emotional responses, I'm still trying to work out why I like the rebel clown army, enjoyed jeremy clarkson being pied etc but not this...?"
It's because you're a feminist Zoe, and you've also got no sense of humour. If it had been a male streaker at a football match, you would probably think it was hilarious.
The best thing about these two young women is that they have small breasts, which I am a particular fan of. I have downloaded the video for research purposes ;-) and I wish them all the best in their campaign.

Truth be told, I like looking at breasts as much as the next man, but I don't necessarily think they exist purely for our entertainment. As soon as you manage to get your fucking stupid (possibly un-used) brain around this fact, you might begin to realise that the original statement revolved purely around various feminist ideals of equality, but I do agree with what you said concerning the fact that the video is a pointless piece of publicity-hounding garbage. However, if you are going to slag anyone off concerning what appeared in the video/statement/comments why not say something worth-while as opposed to making random class-related jibes to make yourself feel like a fucking better person.
Truth be told, I'm all for tits being out all the time, but not just because I wanna stare at them. At the end of the day, in pre-historic times, we were all fucking naked anyway. Considering the number of obsessions with class and social stand represented in this site I am assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that there are a lot of men posting comments. In which case, gentlemen, mock these ideals/thoughts/comments only when you are perfectly willing to walk around with your cocks out.
If you genuinely feel the need to make any comments, don't just 'copy and paste' some fucking words that you wanted to mock. Instead, why not use your fucking brain and think of a genuine statement to make concerning what you have read and what you have seen.
To put it as simply as possible, as soon as your mind possesses more maturity than a twelve-year-old boy's ball-sack, return to this site with something worthwhile.

If you don't address the people who have posted specifically and quote what you are talking about, then nobody knows what you are on about. I take it that some of your incoherent criticism is directed at me, so I will address what I perceive to be your criticism.
""Considering the number of obsessions with class and social stand represented in this site I am assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that there are a lot of men posting comments.

As far as I can see from the comments, the only person to criticise the class of these two young women was zoe. If you forgive me for sounding sarcastic, I think that's a woman's name.
Secondly, most of the negative and mocking comments came from female contributors. No surprises there then, that feminists have no sense of humour.
Why do men need to walk around with their cocks out? Most men would give their left arm to meet pretty young women, or women generally, who want to walk around topless, which is the same right that men have.
""If you genuinely feel the need to make any comments, don't just 'copy and paste' some fucking words that you wanted to mock. Instead, why not use your fucking brain and think of a genuine statement to make concerning what you have read and what you have seen.""
.....Were you pissed when you wrote this!
""To put it as simply as possible, as soon as your mind possesses more maturity than a twelve-year-old boy's ball-sack, return to this site with something worthwhile.""
Well, giggling with your tits out on video is clearly a sign of great maturity, but whatever. I too believe in the great feminist ideal of women being able to walk around topless, especially in front of children.
When I was a twelve year old I would have loved to have had friends of the family, or neighbours, like these two young ladies.....where they were gardening or swimming at the local swimming pool and they would gently and friendly greet me and we could play together and laugh and roll around and.......
