I cannot believe that I missed the triangle thing.

Well, that does make sense then.
This is also the person that didn't really understand the full meaning of your sig quote until she watched the Rent documentary and found out about Equity actors. I laughed soo much.
*waves to everybody*

#35 and #36 were probably made by the same person (they both look as if they were made in Paint and are both 551x331) and I'll make a wild guess and say that they're probably jokes.
Ashley, we still want to know which one you partially agree with!
At least no one here is getting attacked this time. The one about Idina in high school is interesting. If it's true, then good for her for overcoming her earlier racist feelings, which are quite plausible in someone growing up on Long Island. It's very segregated.
ETA: Lexi, I agree that there's quite a good chance that it's a joke too. But you know me.

What's with the high level of illegibility?
The ones about Anthony make me sad.
Me too, Em.
Which one about Anthony?
How is he an attention whore?
And the last one.

Totally staying OUT of the Anthony/attention whore/book arguments.
Calling him a pervert is ridiculous, unless they think homosexuality is perversion. He seems quite sexually conservative to me.
Especially the last one.
Yeah, I don't want to get into the arguments, but....

My sister just randomly called me and started singing Out Tonight...She isn't even a massive Rent fan. Fantabulous!

I'm on middle ground with a lot of the Anthony stuff. I think calling him a pervert and a horrible role model is insane, but I can understand why one might feel he loves the attention or question the people who say that his book really and truly changed their lives. Either way, it all comes down to a matter of personal opinion and I don't want to start a comment war on LJ.
I'm not a particular fan of Anthony's, but I think he's talented and respect how he's dealt with people who have attacked or disagreed with him. The problem seems to be more with the fans who make overblown statements about him than with him.
My partial agreement was on 40, but ONLY the part questioning its status as a life-changing piece of literature. Maybe for some people it is, and that's wonderful, but I can't help but feel that a lot of the gushing praise stems from regard for Anthony as a person rather than he book itself. I think that he's amazing for putting all of that out there (not to mention everything else that he does), but I guess it's not going to be everyone's thing. And it wasn't mine. I'm usually not crazy about that genre in general, though, so I realize that it's not really fair of me to question other people's raves about the book.
As to the disagreements, I think that Anthony's a great role model and I so admire his honesty and passion.

I agree with Ashley's post. I think a lot of people think honesty automatically equals quality literature... but then again, if you absolutely loved the book for whatever reason, more power to you.
Aaaand I'm done with that.
#15 makes me laugh. Don't they make sure you don't do that? I would assume that could become a profitable business for some if they didn't have preventative measures in place.
24 is my favorite, I think.
15 is slightly funny, but when you look at it from the perspective that those tickets are supposed to be there so that people without much money can still afford to see the show, it becomes kind of depressing. Then again, I guess Rent did help that obviously poor person pay his or her rent... so I dunno.
*brings out paddles* CLEAR!!
Who are you resuscitating, CS?
