How did I forget to nominate Gilbert Gottfried?

Think of Gottfriend saying “Cunt punt.” There you go. Now you can’t UN-think it.

Indeed. After his reading of 50 Shades of grey, I very much agree with you. I think I found his Facebook profile and I sent him a message suggesting it. The odds that he’ll do it are low but the payoff would be high. Just as Samuel L. Jackson is the best person in the world to say “motherfucking”, Gilbert Gottfriend is arguable the best person in the world to say “cunt punt.”

Y’know, now that I think a bit more of it…

We may be involved in a bit of sexist construction of discourse (:p) here – If a similarly profane and over-the-top caricaturesque tirade of abuse had come not from a Sorority social director (and alleged cute girl) to her withdrawn house sisters, but from the big burly captain of the men’s varsity team to his faltering teammates having a losing season, would it have been such a huge online hit? Or would a lot more people online have voted on the side of it being just another stereotypically macho _“coffe’s for closers”/“if I have to short-dick every cannibal in the Congo”_ attempt at motivation, rolled their eyes and moved on?

There may be people who focus on the “girly” part of it, but they’re idiots. A nice vulgar tirade is something that can unite all genders, races and classes. Remember those voicemails by Alec Baldwin and Christian Bale?

So _most_ of the thinking in this thread is that Sorority Drama Queen’s letter isn’t about sex huh? :rolleyes: Therefore, mod **Happy Lendervedder** and **April R.** : **HL** for his superficially sexual (but actually, completely sarcastic) boner remark; **AR** for snarking at the obvious sexual double-entendre (unintended? I think not) of Sorority Drama Queen’s “FUCKING SUCK” line. (Not to mention “cock block”.)

What if that same letter, verbatim, had been sent from the male Social Director Drama King of the partner fraternity, addressed to everyone in the sorority? I daresay we’d be having a very different conversation about _that_. He’d get strung up in the middle of the campus quad, by a body part that they couldn’t possibly string up Sorority Drama Queen by.

Because of course there’s no difference between a _ **woman** _ threatening to “cuntpunt” other _women_ for being cockblocks and a _ **MAN** _ threatening to “cuntpunt” \*women \*for being cockblocks (which is your hypothetical) :rolleyes:

“Gender” issue, not “sex” issue, keep up with the memos.

[And by the standard of moderation applied (no comment on whether I agree or not, that’s for the ATMB thread) it would have still been questionable to turn THAT into bawdy comments].

My interpretation was that a “boner loser” is a woman who makes guys lose their boners, in this case, by being a wet blanket at parties.

In retrospect, I just guess our Miss Melanie Wilkes (nee Hamilton) was concerned the other girls might behave in an unladylike manner at the upcoming cotillion.

Ya know, looking back on the letter, the mental image I had was of a cute, sexy, pouty, blond sorority girl saying that stuff…as she morphed into a frakking _werewolf_!
