What kind of meat do priests eat on Fridays? Nun. (As if you didn’t know!) 😃 ---

I assumed this was going to be about how she stole a kiss from a young man who said he wanted his first kiss to be with someone special in a relationship. There’s some debate over whether this counts as sexual harassment, as people would likely consider it so with the genders reversed. He has said it is not (and discussed it with his friends saying that it didn’t count, since he didn’t kiss her back). Regardless, it was a dick move on Perry’s part. (I admit that I previously did not realize it was a dick move, because the videos I’d seen circulating did not include the part about why the kid had never “kissed a girl.”) That said, I do have to give **aceplace** a bit of credit. That story, which actually does make her look bad, isn’t really circulating (beyond the initial reporting) outside the anti-feminist spheres. But this one is. When it comes to publicity, the details don’t matter as much as the spin. So he’s right that the details likely don’t matter. But that’s because of the state of how we consume news in this country. ---

And the order is owned by the church, not by the nuns. These pairs of quotes are a perfect encapsulation of this thread, and of a considerable number of **aceplace57** ’s SDMB threads. The standard pattern of his OPs, especially on this sort of issue that mixes cultural and moral issues with questions of law and rights, is: 10 misunderstanding 20 flawed analysis 30 outrage 40 goto 10 > [@Riemann](#): > > You appear to have started from a conclusion, based on a preconception that nuns can do no wrong, and then attempted to shoehorn the story into your outraged narrative.

> [@DesertDog](#): > > Is that a helicopter pad past the parking lot? The circle with the Maltese cross. It does look like a helicopter pad, doesn’t it? If it is, it’s never been used for that, as far as I know. Incidentally, the property next to that would-be helicopter pad is the house where the Mason “family” killed Leno and Rosemary Labianca. In fact, the neighborhood has a lot of history. The Gelson supermarket, a few blocks from the “nunnery,” was the site of Disney’s Hyperion Studios, (yes, you can buy your cheese now at the place where Mickey Mouse was born, and where _Snow White_ was made). Around the corner is Marshall High, the go-to classic high school backdrop used in countless movies and TV shows, like _Grease, Pretty in Pink, Buffy, Wonder Years, Boy Meets World, Young Sheldon_, etc. ---

Pretty much this, but pin the tail on Katy now because she is rich and famous. I don’t even like her but I really don’t see how any of this is even remotely her fault. ---

Katy Perry should totally have foreseen the occupants of the property she bought would sue the actual owner of the property, and then die in the courtroom while they supported the fraudster they tried to sell it to despite not being the owners just because they didn’t like her. Not because they didn’t want it sold _because they didn’t like Katy Perry_. And having foreseen all that she should obviously have known it would be misreported and that the easily duped would skim any article including any sort of fact and make it out like she was personally responsible for kicking them out. ---
