Life Imitates The Simpsons

So there’s this website for teenage girls

Looks pretty harmless, right? Look down at the bottom where it lists its sponsors…
I’m very tempted to email them and say “I have this crazy friend who says it’s wrong to eat meat… is he crazy?”

I mean, surely they don’t expect us to swallow this tripe…

You’d have to be a Grade A Moron not to notice all the beef recipes on that site. Hmmm… beef.

Teenage girls…it’s what’s for dinner.

Or did I miss the point somehow?

mmmmm… Teenage girls mmmmmmm… now only if they were faux lesbian Russian Teenage girls. :slight_smile:

Come on, dude! Stop being so cynical, yo! 2day’s girls are faced with pressures at school, home, and among their friends! The only way to make it is by keepin’ it real, stayin’ true to yourself, buildin’ self-esteem, and eatin’ plenty of vitamin-rich beef and milk products.

My favorite bit is from the “It’s Cool 2B Real” self-esteem tips:

Happy: So I’m, like, toootally into meat-themed video games. Anyone else? Type 1234!

Cowgrrrl89: 1234!

2b-realbot: Hey, girl! Check out our awesome game page!

Happy: Awesome!!!1111

I like their poll. Subtle.

If anyone cares, steak is winning with 38%.

I think they left off a very important source of beef for teenage girls.

Well that has given me my RDA of meat based internet entertainment for an entire week.

When I grow I’m going to Bovine University!

I count 20 appearance of the word “real” on the home page alone, not counting the URL. I suspect this was put together by 30-something men who get their knowledge of how teenaged girls speak from WB network sitcoms.

Well, look who’s behind it all

Circle 1

I admit I thought this whole thread was somebody’s twisted joke until I looked at the website. I’m an agnostic, but I looked and said, “Jesus God!” That would indeed fit in perfectly on The Simpsons.

I may be wrong, but it feels like things I used to only see in the form of satirical pieces are now showing up in real life – and it’s taking less and less time for that to happen. For instance, just two or three years ago The Onion had an article (a take-off on tobacco lawsuits) about Hershey’s being hit with a class-action suit by obese people who blamed the chocolate manufacturer. Given the recent McDonald’s suit, the satirical article is now entirely plausible.

This is the 9th dumbest moment in business in the year 2002 according to Business 2.0 magazine.

Some people may have a beef with all this bull, but I’m just going to milk it for all I can.

I now have an image of that fat Texan on the Simpsons who made the Lisa memorial out of the fallen tree. The one that looked like the Pez dispenser for the 50 foot Woman.

“Yeehaw! I’m gonna start me a website for teenage girls! It’ll teach 'em all about the beauty of beef and how to dress! Yippee”

The one I remember is the SNL spoof ad about the three-bladed razor. Gilette now really has a three-bladed razor, and the ad for it looks a lot like the SNL version (except for the tagline (“Because you’ll buy anything”)).

I await the imminent introduction of Levi’s three-legged jeans…

My favorite meat propaganda website is Pork 4 Kids. I love the casual way they completely avoid connecting in any way the cute piglets and the tasty bacon.

This is freakin’ hilarious, even without taking into account all the possible sexual innuendoes.
At least it’s not sponsored by (the now defunct, I believe) Manbeef.
