AmoebicMe Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I love Jon Stewart... In reference to the Crossfire quotes (where Jon took on Tucker and essentially tore him a new one), here are some of them that I love. Jon was accusing the show of being, essentially, theater without the balance they claim. Tucker was being an ass, so at one point Jon says, "Look. How old are you?" "34." "And you're wearing a bowtie?!" Cue uncomfortable laughing from Tucker Carlson! At a later point Jon said, "Look, I'm not saying you're not intelligent, 'cause those things are hard to tie..." (in reference to the aforementioned bowtie) Cue more uncomfortable laughter from Tucker Carlson! Hurr hurr I love Jon Stewart. But I haven't seen the segment yet. But just know, DJ, that you were secretly conversing with the devil. (buh duh duh duuuuhhhh! Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 God, I love Jon Stewart. :D That clip is online, too... Let me see if I can find it... Here ya go: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2652831?htv=12&htv=12 Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzrules Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I can't believe I actually taped it!! Just read about it yesterday and mastered all the technology on time to get it on tape!! Great job, DJ, your aplomb is inspiring! BTW, never saw (or even heard of) this Tucker dude, but have to admit, he really reminded me of my brother about 25 yrs ago! So, is "dipping" on the "You know you're asexual if...."? I had a split second of "huh?I thought goat cheese was a hard cheese not good for dipping! " Link to post Share on other sites
crazyjerseygirl Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Just saw the clip Oh my GOD!!! Tucker just compaired sex to goat cheese! love the point jay made though, on that 'just try it' question do sexuals have to try it to know they want it? of course now im frightened that some poor person is sleeping with that bowtie man.

NeitherSparky Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I don't really get the comparison of sex to something like goat cheese, especially if the argument is "most people think its yucky until they try it *several* times." That isn't the way society looks at sex. If someone thinks sex is yucky and needs to try it *several* times before they can dicide if they like it, they're considered just as much as a freak or someone who needs medical/psychological help as much as we supposedly do, so why bother making such a comparison?

Cate Perfect Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 wow I did not see that before.. wow.. luv Jon Stewart LUV HIM!hate the ass with the bow tie. Yes. And yes. Jon is the man. *holds up 'Jon Stewart for President' sign* 'Goat cheese' ... WTF? Yeah, sex is supposed to be so freaking great from the first time, right? I mean, if it wasn't people wouldn't do it more than once? Why should we practise until we 'like/tolerate' it when we're happy without it? :? ... 'goat cheese'? Link to post Share on other sites
NeitherSparky Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Okay I can't resist posting again about goat cheese...sorry... When I was about 20 I developed an allergy to cow's milk. Anything made with cow's milk made me violently ill. I couldn't eat "normal" cheese anymore, couldn't like, go out for pizza with my friends, so I started buying goat cheese at Trader Joe's and making my own pizza at home and stuff. I loved goat cheese right away! It's really good stuff. Anyways, lo and behold the allergy went away almost ten years later, and I can once again eat cow cheese. But I still love goat cheese and still buy it. And that is how I became bicheesual. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, I can listen to a song once and think ,"Man, this song is crap." But then I listen to it again....and again...and again...and suddenly it's okay. And then I keep listening to it and eventually I find that I like it! o_O Maybe that's just with music for me....but...hm... Link to post Share on other sites
Dargon Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There are some who say "goat cheese, ewww." Try goat cheese, say "ewwww." try it again, still "ewwww." There are some tastes that cannot be aquired. For any example, there will be exceptions. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperSinger Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yeah, and when David mentioned that some asexuals have had sex numerous times and STILL don't like it, I grinned. I know I'm not the only one on here who's done it a bunch but still doesn't like it, but I like to think he had me in mind with that one! :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
KSpaz Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 And that is how I became bicheesual. Thank you. Brilliant. Totally made me laugh out loud at the computer. :lol: Oh, and good job DJ! Way to give awesome responses and not get tripped up! More and more tv coverage is more and more publicity...yes. This is a good thing. (we're nearing 7000, guys!) Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps when you were filling out your skillsheet prior to creating this character, you opted to go with the goat cheese appreciation rather than the sex enjoyment.

SpirallingSnowy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well done Dj, i read the transcript, spose its not the same really lol! but i did download the 20/20 and the view appearences, and reckon that this tucker dude was the fairest to you. Ps if there is ever anything in aus, im a asexual and ive had sex before..... i just know someone made a point of getting aasexual who had sex before to talk and i would be willing, but im on the other side of the world lol!

Hu Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I just want to go on the record, as a representative of AVEN, as saying that I absolutely LOVE goat cheese, and always have. We have to be careful with our food analogies. Now Winter is the chick who doesn't like chocolate cake, and you're the dude who won't try goat cheese. We're going to get a reputation as picky eaters.

Jesh Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 :? Well if they insist on believing that, I'll have it known that I hate vegetables. And, anyway, maybe you like goat cheese, or cake, or even vegetables, but that doesn't mean that you crave them. I mean, I've tried cake, and it's great and all, but I'm not all, 'cake! cake is great I love cake! when can I get some more cake!? cakecakecake!' and honestly I'd be fine if I never had cake again. (really, stopping with the food analogies now) Link to post Share on other sites
LostPenguin Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Pbbth. Yeah, the food analogy was ultimately stupid, and ultimately, the chocolate cake analogy was stupid - ("Everyone loves chocolate cake!" ...Really? What about folks who are massively allergic? O-ho!) but look at it this way... As my mother said while we were watching this for the second time, Tucker said something along the lines of "You should try everything once!" To which she rattled off a list containing things like: "Shooting yourself in the foot, drinking clorox, jumping off a fifty foot building, murder..." And then gave me a look which pretty much said: "This guy's 'reasons' suck." Also, castrated men do have sexual urges, and they are also capable of sex. They just aren't capable of creating offspring. ...but random quips aside, I still thought it was a pretty good interview. ;P Link to post Share on other sites
Hu Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I watched this clip with some of my classmates and one of them was literally shouting at DJ on the screen, "Ask him if he's had sex with a man! Ask him! Please!" For the record, I <3 my sexual friends. Link to post Share on other sites

summerbreeze Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi, I am so disappointed. This is the third show on asexuality that I would have loved to have seen but missed. Is there any way I can see this Tucker show? I would especially like to see the 20/20 and the View episodes. Is it possible to view them on-line or to get a tape? I think I'll go nuts if I miss another show on asexuality. Next time, someone please PM me so I can actually see the show and not hear about it later. :( Link to post Share on other sites

LostPenguin Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Don't feel too bad about missing this one live, Poppies- I didn't know it was on until about 3 minutes before its initial airing!

Lors Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The big comment from ALL of my sexual friends re the 20/20 thing was: That doctor is scary! She makes you all look great! So having her on there actually was an advantage. :) That's good to hear. Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Heartilly Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 That show was terrific. There was no "proclaimed expert" on the subject saying we were all wrong and it wasn't a melee onslaught of five to one. He just got his point across and people can think whatever they want. Most guys have a porno movie on constant replay in their heads? That's a bit scarey . . . Link to post Share on other sites
