      I went to a Counting Crows show once and kept shouting for “Hard to Handle” and “She Talks to Angels” by the Black Crowes.   The lead singer was not amused.

      ITT a white man tacitly dismisses the importance of both race and gender, probably while aware of its racist and sexist implications, but doing it anyway, probably trying to be “ironically un-PC/apolitical,” but still kinda being not entirely unoffensive, though it might be mean week, but is mean week really intended for perpetuating/belittling thousands of years of violence and economic exploitation?

      Excellent use of cut AND paste.

      when i was in middle school i asked my dad to take me to the wallflowers/counting crows concert. he said he wouldn’t take me because the counting crows are heavy metal.

      ITC(omment) dude who was clearly waiting to make his heroic litblog comment-thread stand against Whitey as soon as he saw this ToBS matchup was coming +  embarrassingly inept quotation mark deployment + an attempt to pull of the notoriously difficult quadruple-or-quintuple negative–“un-PC/apolitical” but still kinda being not entirely unoffensive”–the Russians give it 10, the other judges, an 11.5 and SWELLS OF APPLAUSE/DISBELIEF

      Really disappointed Chelsea Martin wasn’t judging this round, think she would have had a lot to contribute.

      i don’t understand what the ideal reader is supposed to get from this. i don’t get the references so can’t find the humor others see. what i get is fatigue, is that what you were trying to express? or something about, everyone ultimately wears shirts so we are all the same? this entire post seems like it was written from the p.o.v of an insane surveillance camera. a post like this invites inanity and disengagement, we are all heroes here.

      this is so rad! I’m so glad that a white male not only put this on his “tournament,” on his website, but then appointed himself judge so he could dismiss it as unworthy of even discussing in the most perfunctory way! because, you know, it’s nearly 2012, and race and gender are completely irrelevant topics now! because racism and sexism no longer exist! because our society is completely blind to all classes, races, and sexes! we’ve reached equality for all! it’s a utopia! heil Blake butler!

      I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

      Nazis are capable of loving and being loved and making crooked little cross into a lovely but threatening symbol and I find it hard to hate them because I am a lover not a hater.

      Come on. I’m extremely vocal on these issues and one of the first to call a motherfucker out but there is no harm here. This tournament is the last thing one should take seriously. Did you expect a thoughtful treatise on race and gender in a tournament of BOOKSHIT? One can have ideals and a sense of humor or at least, one should.

      “. . . focusing our ire on Butler appears mostly misplaced. Slavoj Žižek writes that institutional desires are somewhat autonomous of their members, rather acting to produce their constituents. We can think of HTML Giant
      and its readers as a site operating analogously: Both directly (through
      the posting process) and indirectly (through web buzz, literary relationships,
      and numbers of likes for particular articles), Butler receives
      feedback on the desire he helps create. HTML Giant animates him, rewards him, slightly corrects him when/if he ever goes off script, etc. HTML Giant
      in turn is responsive to and hence animated by our symbolic order
      itself. It becomes clear that if there were no Butler, we would create
      another one.” –  internet lit studies, 2011
