The Comparative Friend

Here at Social/Corp, we've come up with a new service guaranteed to get you the attention of the prettiest guy or gal at any bar you happen to frequent.

How? --You might ask.

Here's how!

The Comparative Friend!

Sound strange?

That's because it is--

Strangely awesome!

Think about this:

How many times do you go out only to be approached by some idiot who regales you with stories about their tattoos and how they love being fun-employed when all of a sudden you notice some other person hanging back?

Oh them? --the idiot says-- They're just my friend.

You bet they are--

Their comparative friend.

And just by hanging back while their friend makes an ass out of themselves, the comparative friend looks amazing.

Now, Social/Corp is willing to provide you with that comparative friend!

We'll send a total moron out with you for a night on the town where that moron will make a complete fool of themselves--approaching people, making dumb comments, and drawing too much attention to themselves.

And all the while, you'll be hanging in the background, making people wonder--

Who's that attractive person the drunken asshole is with?

Pretty soon, you're going to be looking pretty damn sexy.

That is--comparatively sexy.

Listen to these testimonials!

"I have no personality, and I'm terrible at making conversation, but when my comparative friend threw up on the girl I thought was hot, she came running--right into my arms...and, obviously, away from his puke."

"I'm plain-looking, and I only have one eye, so Social/Corp sent me an obnoxious girl with barstools for legs, and suddenly, I wasn't looking so bad. Thanks Social/Corp!"

"Gay guys instinctively want to hook up with whoever the best looking person in the room is, so I ordered eight comparative friends--good ones too. I'm talking circus freaks, mimes, drifters, and a guy with a monkey he called Aunt Petunia. It didn't take long before every guy in the bar was clinging to me. That night I took at least seven guys home and--"

Okay that's enough!

Now that you've heard what good work we do, it's time for you to take advantage of our services!

"--We even let Petunia film the--"

I said that's enough!

Sorry.

Anyway--

Call Social/Corp and tell them you want your Comparative Friend.

Comparative Friend!

Because compared to your comparative friend--

You're not that bad!

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

People You Know Are More Important Than People You Don't Know

This post is in response to arguing with people--straight and gay alike--about a certain celebrity, whether or not she's an ally, if she's pandering, if pandering matters, and whether or not I'm an asshole. The last part is probably an enthusiastic "Yes" but let's reflect on this for a bit anyway without actually giving more time to an argument about a person none of us know, which is a crucial part of what I want to talk about. People you know are more important than people you don't know. I realize it's tricky in an age where we've never been closer or more engaged to our celebrities to keep in mind that we do not know them, they are not our friends, and while we may love them and stan and feel like we're attacked when they're attacked-- That is not true. That is not real. They are in no tangible way connected to us. Now, as someone who is obsessed with pop culture, I get that it's a little hypocritical for me to be making...
