Loading ...Do you want to know what I think is funny?
I think married Mothers of four who feel the need to publicly validate their physical appearances via the Internet are funny.
Case […]
First of all, I love Violent Acres. It’s one of maybe three blogs I actually read on an ongoing basis.
But, this post screams one of two things: $250 dollar review, or “Give me more traffic!” (Or both.)
I always thought it was particularly clever how V grew a new blog into a HUGE blog by insulting blogs with a higher readership than hers… but it’s kind of annoying to see her take on a mediocre blog like RockStar Mommy. It’s not worth the effort.
Unless my skim of RSM wasn’t deep enough, she makes no pretensions about her blog being any good, or anybody caring about what she writes. And the gajillion self portraits? A commonplace Flickr fad.
When V praises or puts down a blog, I expect more of the blog she’s gone after, I guess, and RSM simply has nothing to offer. So if this was a $250 review, V, I hope it was worth it for you, because I’m a little disappointed!
I’m waiting for the naughty squirrel suit pictures.
Soooo agree with you! Talk about a self-absorbed, spoiled rotten princess! Oh, the crap she spewed after Mother’s Day. She rants about how much work she does all. day. long. taking care of the kids, house & ‘home business’ yet she has the time to spend all. day. long. responding to damn near every comment left on her blog. She’s literally there commenting, on her own blog, all. day. long. and then throws a fit because her husband doesn’t wait on her & the kids when he gets home from working all. day. long. She’s very young but thinks she’s very mature. She’s nowhere near as hot as she & her rabid followers seem to think she is….have you seen her cankles? She’s got a couple of guys who absolutely worship her, one married with kids & one know-it-all kid who is all of 17 years old. They’re almost as sickening as she is. Check out the flickr comments…..someone’s wife or husband has gooood reason to be upset about what’s going back & forth between her & the married guy. The 17 year old boy is clearly in love with her & she encourages it fully. While her writing can, at times, be quite funny you must stay away from the comment section. It’ll just turn your stomach. Why people feel the need to kiss up to someone they don’t even know is beyond me. I guess it feeds some sick need in all of them.
Seems to me like V found a kindred spirit. She’s an ok read. The cuteness is just bonus.
I hardly comment, but I would have to totally agree on this one. Her kids are precious but she is so completely self-absorbed and immature. I am amazed at how she can spend so much time on her website with two little ones at home. She should seriously try and spend a little less time online and a lot more time with her children. I kinda feel sorry for her husband. Mine would not put up with crap like that for a second. Of course, we have a marriage, not a worship-the-wife relationship.
Wow V, she certainly drew you in. I don’t imagine others would feel so strongly, let alone read her whole site and look at the pictures.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. Yeah, she’s attractive but that’s not why I read her site. I find her writing to be insightful and extremely humorous observations on her life. What’s wrong with that?
Being self-absorbed is pretty much a prerequisite for writing a Blog isn’t it? Unless you’re writing pure fiction what better topic than your own life. At least she writes things that are either funny or interesting rather than just spewing venom and vitriol at random as you seem to.
And face it, she did didn’t use YOUR Website to draw attention to HERS…now did she?
In the long run it doesn’t really matter.
Why such a rager for a fellow blogger? Or is that how YOU get YOUR attention? If you don’t like her, why bother reading her stuff? Is that the only thing you have to talk about, other people’s “insecurities”, or is it the fact that SHE is funny? Do you not have a sense of humor or can you HONESTLY not feel good about yourself unless you are putting someone else down? Just a few questions…
I am SO sorry you feel this way…
blah, blah, booohhhllllaaaahh (lung cookies)
She’s a good writer… I just wonder if she’s any good at the geetar?
Wow, even a follow up post on her! Probably couldn’t handle it when someone took the high road instead of lowering themselves to your sad, pathetic bullshit.
Talk about attention whores….
My favorite part of any of these “attack” posts is seeing all the sheepie followers coming here to defend the wounded blogger –which is nothing but a pathetic attempt to defend themselves and their (bad) tastes.
Yes, all four of them…
My vote is for Dumb Attention Whore. I actually feel stupider for having read her inane blathering. She claims that she has an OCD and that her house is spotless, yet she spends all her time blogging and responding to her sychophantic commenters. I suspect that her house is not the pristine castle she claims and that’s why her son is a rashy mess. I love how she always claims that she doesn’t think she’s attractive, yet posts thousands of pictures of herself. Me thinks thou doth protest too much, poser ‘punk rawk’ chick. Punk rock does not live in the suburbs with 2 kids and 2 stepkids. Dumbass. Plus, her kids are ugly.
Yes, poser is definitely the word. I almost puked when I saw that baby in the little misfits shirt. How blatantly yuppie can you be?
All wannabes. These women get married, move to the suburbs, and need validation for their worthless lives. The internet gives that to them.
Hey, let’s make fun of a 15-year-old girl who cuts herself and posts Evanescence lyrics in her LiveJournal next! That’ll be even MORE original and edgy, lulz!
I’m not sure what VA was really going for here. Is she trying to alert us that there might be attention-hungry bad writers on the internet? Thanks for the PSA, but I think we were aware of the risks.
Why are you doing this? I like your essays. I don’t need your help to make fun of the shallow, boring, self absorbed shit on the web.
Okay, VA, as you said in your post, your readers hate it when you go on about the Mommy bloggers… I am twisting in my socks because I went check out the link to her 10,000 photos.
No more Mommy bloggers, please. I’m a mother and if I ever met any of them at a play date, I’d grab my toddler and run away.
Pfff that mom is such a stupid bitch. How she talks about her children. She is so spoiled. So shallow…
Attention Whore sure!! Just look at her pictures. She thinks she is all that!!
Actually I disagree with everyone. I don’t think she’s attractive at all. Without the hair and photo filters her actual face looks a little like the Ice Man Mummy, rather than Rock Star Mommy.
No doubt I AM jealous, I would LOVE to live in the time warp universe where she has time to do her hair, makeup, and get the house OCD spotless, writes her blog, answers all her comments, takes all those really ‘unique and interesting’ pics, actually even GET dressed in the morning (I’m impressed with that all by itself), parent her kids and shop for hours at Target!
If that were me I would be so cool, and so hot, like, FOREVER. Even shitting!
Wow, you are sad, sad, jealous little people. She’s wicked funny and doesn’t seem self absorbed at all to me.
I’ll be blogging in response to this old news and one of your latest posts probably tomorrow.
