New Realms Of Pleasure
Dicentra thinks you should see this. And frankly, you deserve no less.
You see, Ms Rachel Bloom is dropping knowledge. With her sex junk.

DON’T WATCH. IT’S A TRAP!
I think it’s fair to say Ms Bloom isn’t a gifted lyricist, or vocalist. Or a natural dancer.
This is what the internet kool kidz call “cringe”.
Does someone have the brain bleach handy?
Happily, there are subtitles. I wouldn’t want you to miss any of the subtleties.
The awkward hugs from bow-tie man at the end were quite something.
Some of Bloom’s songs from ‘Crazy Ex Girlfriend’ are quite fun.
Kill it with fire.
Kill it with fire.
But her sex junk is so oh, oh, oh.
Nope, sorry, can’t tell serious from pastiche anymore.
I think the word is unconvincing. Or if two words are allowed, conceptual nightmare.
It’s progressive science, people. Bill Nye says so.


And this young lady too.
Next week: “My testicles can sing.”
I realize that I am not a registered ob/gyn or anything, but I cannot help but think that if one’s vagina consistently makes noises consonant with human speech that one ought to get that looked at.
By medical professional, I mean. Not a paying audience.
Not a paying audience.
I learn so much from these threads.
DON’T WATCH. IT’S A TRAP!
Why didn’t I listen?
[ Stomps around living room in ill-fitting leotard. ]
I managed 31 seconds. Awful.
I am teaching mine to knit.
Say what you will about the Victorians, they were clear that when you went to Bedlam or the circus to see freaks and loons you were laughing at said freaks and loons.
Wow!
Thank you Dicentra and David. What would I have done if I hadn’t seen that.
My life would have been poorer. I feel even further enriched than the EU wants me to be.
Singing vajayjays? Robert Crumb covered that territory long before this sweetheart thought of it.
May Messrs Bloom and Nye reap all the accolades they deserve for this.
And I’ve no idea what ‘schmear’ might be, but I can’t say I’m planning to knock myself out searching for it in Sainsbury’s.
They love Science! don’tcha know:

By an exorcist.
I seem to hear the spectral voice of Nikola Tesla echoing down the years:

I am teaching mine to knit.

Perhaps you could teach them to do make-up like this enterprising young gentleman (a ‘blender’ is simply one of those make-up sponges before anyone starts cringing):

“My vagina has it’s own voice”
I couldn’t watch more than 10 seconds, but I sang that line in my head to the tune of:
“My vagina has a first name”
Maybe someone more musically/lyrically inclined can do a parody.
I’m also quite enjoying some of the twattery:
“Not a paying audience”
Hoo(ha)-boy, I bet the IMDb user comments page was great for that film, back when IMDb was useful and interesting and actually had user comments.
Bill Nye was in the same building as this? He -announced- it?
But Bill O’Reilly must be destroyed, right? No evidence, we’re just supposed to -believe-.
The shark-jumping thing has been happening a lot more often the last few years. Lately it has been every day. Today’s shark jump brought to you by Bill Nye and the letter C.
So, I can update my records, is “objectification” of women by reference to and anthropomorphizing of their lady-bits OK again?
The long-dead guy with the sandwich sign was right after all.
The end is Nye.
But Bill O’Reilly must be destroyed, right?
Surely you’re not seeking to defend him? Are you not aware of his heinous behaviour? One of his victims had to endure him uttering the words ‘hot chocolate’ within her hearing. As any reasonable person would, she took this as a very plantational remark.
If there’s anything I cannot abide, it’s men making plantational remarks where ladies may be present.
Pointing and laughing aside, I think intellectual integrity compels me to do at least a nominal analysis of what, specifically, is wrong here.
Let’s dispense with bad production values, literalist interpretations of statements like “my vagina has a voice”, and hand-wavey factors such as ‘cringeworthy’. These are cheap targets. I should look for a bigger fish, not just giggle at the funny foreigner.
And I think the big fish here is something like intellectual fraud, or perhaps impersonation. It’s a distinct, nutty ideology masquerading as non-ideological Reason Itself, spending unsustainably from Reason’s metaphorical credit and Science Guy’s reputation.
“My vagina has a voice”
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling bad…
I simply remember my
Vagina can sing
And then I don’t feel so bad.

Thanks for that. Now I have a mental image of an alternative version of the Mother Superior singing “Climb Every Mountain.”
Related.

Well, yes. The, um, thrust of the ditty seems to be the claim that sexuality, like gender, “is a spectrum,” along which vast numbers of people can move fluidly, and that this is both scientific and “evolution.” But I don’t think either sexuality or gender is a spectrum in any meaningful sense – it is, for the most part, very binary indeed – and any movement there may be seems vastly overstated. The claim, like the performance, is unconvincing.
But can her vagina talk without moving its lips, a kind of ventriloquist vagina?
Sometimes I lie awake at night wondering about these things.
At the risk of being mocked, let me say you are all falling for the bait… Rachel Bloom is a comedienne, albeit a lousy one. This was a feeble attempt at humour… the crappy dancing, the ludicrous singing, the nonsensical lyrics were all deliberate.
There’s real feminist absurdities out there; our attention is a precious commodity, let’s not waste it on bad comedy.
The real travesty for me is that Bill Nye has a TV show.
“My vagina has a voice!”
Rachel finally heard from her parasitic twin.
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Oh, thanks for the ear worm. Thank you so very much. >_<
Kill it with fire.
But her sex junk is so oh, oh, oh.
Where is Monty Python’s giant foot? There must be a giant foot.
And then I don’t feel so bad
On an orthogonal note: Everything’s going my way.
♫Everybody do the Michigan Raaagg! Everybody likes the Michigan Raaaagg!
Every Mame, and Jane, and Ruth, from Weehawken to Duluth!
Slide, ride, glide the Michigan
Stomp, romp, pomp the Michigan
Jump, clump, pump the Michigan Raaaag!
♫
Also, at the risk of being a one-note sort of fellow, no Giant Vaginas tag?
It depends on whether the noises are echoes of human speech occurring outside. Echoes would indicate a whole different set of problems. The sounds of the sea when held up to the ear: no problem at all. Probably.
Vaginas come and go, but as far as talking body parts are concerned, I prefer the classics.
Is it “anti-science” of me to question this?
I loved Bill Nye’s show as a kid. Thanks to his show, I was the only kid in class to know what buoyancy was in my 5th grade science class. It was straight forward and taught basic scientific principles well. I have to give Bill Nye some credit for my decision to pursue Physics and mechanical engineering in my academic studies.
In recent years, Bill has slowly become more and more insufferable. Between this video and the fact that his new show is called “Bill Nye Saves the World”, Bill has exhausted any remaining good will I had from his original show.
And if this show is so scientifically minded, I’d like to see the references used to justify the conclusions of this song.
Yes, it is, Eagle. Also, the mocking of this talented, strong, woke, modern woman betrays how misogynistic and hateful everybody here is and explains why we all deserve pre-emptive face-punching from the non-violent, thoughtful and caring people who support everything Progressive.
You see, Ms Rachel Bloom is dropping knowledge. With her sex junk.
She seems a little obsessed with sex. And not in a good way:

That way lies madness. It’s singing vaginas all the way down.
