  • I’m not saying you’re wrong but I do think the love of this cover is one of the most insane popular opinions in all of music. I will die on the hill that if it was anyone other than the man in black, everyone would agree.

    It sounds so, so bad to me. People say you can really hear the hurt in his voice but he sounds no different than any old man who used to sing but hasn’t kept up the practice. It’s warbly and honestly sounds like shit. The instrumentation is equally boring

    People (not you) say there’s more emotion than the original but Trent Reznor sounds like he’s actively going through withdrawals, expressing several different emotions as the song evolves.

    Sorry for the rant. I’ll cap it off by saying it’s equally dumb to me that the song is about pain and regret but Cash’s music video just…aggrandizes his life with a montage of classic Johnny Cash moments.



  • You hopped into a silly conversation to accuse us of not taking antisemitism seriously.

    And you gotta realize that this sarcastic overly-agreeable writing style you keep using is really not helping you beat the self-victimizing accusations.

    I’m more than willing to change my behavior when I learn it’s actually insensitive. But earlier, you said you know you’re too sensitive and I agree. Why should I change for the 0.001% of people predisposed to being offended?






  • Bro. My family is from Skokie, IL. Like half of the people in my life are Jewish. I used a real example of someone “missing the point” for humor and their ethnicity is VERY relevant to my point that it’s not antisemitic to make jokes on the topic.

    I have no idea how you get through life if your jimmies get rustled by two comments that weren’t in any way antisemitic. There are so many horrors in the world (including actual antisemitism) to get pissed about and THIS is the hill you’re gonna die on?

    Arguing that Slimer wasn’t Jewish because he consumed ecto cooler, hot dogs, and books is funny as fuck.


  • No one in this comment chain was making light of antisemitism, though.

    I feel like I’m about to ruin the joke but…what makes their comment so funny is that they’re (jokingly) missing the point and going off about something irrelevant with a fully-formed argument.

    I fact checked in the first place to send to the same Jewish friend who once told me he hated Hitler…for taking that mustache style off the table for everyone. Not a guy you can accuse of not taking antisemitism seriously.




  • This comment is so funny I had to check: The ingredients seem kosher BUT they never got Kosher certification so it’s technically true.

    And when I looked into similar packaged drinks, I found that almost none are kosher. Some of the same drinks ARE kosher when dispensed from a machine, though, so maybe it’s a preservatives thing?

    Some very solid evidence that Slimer was not Jewish would be his glizzy gobbling. He didn’t ask the vendor if it was kosher, he just ate em.
