Why The Ladies Should Love Megan Fox
So now that the Potter kids are on top, it’s likely that news about our favourite over-boiled sex pot Megan Fox will take a backseat to the prim Emma Watson. And that’s sad.
It’s a pity because we should all like Megan Fox! Some people love her the way you’d love your racist Granpa. Like she says enough crazy shit for you to love her in a bemused/horrifying sort of way. But Megan Fox is legitimately awesome because she knows exactly what she is: a real life version of a slutty Halloween costume.
And she makes no bones (heh) about it! She has repeatedly stated that her job is to be attractive. Unlike, say, Scarlett Johansson who peddles sex the same way Fox does but tries to gussy it up with Tom Waits cover albums and erudite interviews. Isn’t that infinitely more annoying? Fox’s honesty is way more refreshing. Remember when Megan brought it with some real talk about ScarJo?
I don’t want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson – who I have nothing against – but I don’t want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve ever learned to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.’ I don’t want… to do that.
You shouldn’t, Megan! Because ladies like ScarJo and Natalie Portman, who are both devastatingly beautiful and educated, make Normals like me feel awful. At least with Megs, it’s like, yeah maybe my boyfriend is thinking about her when he’s on top but at least I could beat her in a game of scrabble, right? And isn’t that what boyfriends really want? I mean, REALLY?
Also, Megan was a L.U.G. (Lesbian Until Graduation). Well, actually, more of a B.U.G. It’s adorable! Even if it’s untrue, it’s a delight personal yarn that makes for great quotes like:
I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl – Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hand.
Personal story of the time Megan Fox touched my life: I have done some press junkets and they a festival of terribleness. The studios essentially send celebrities down to the Four Seasons to read a press release, a couple of hacks ask “What was it like to work with robots?” and then it’s over. But the couple of times Megs has shown up at these she’s been chatty, off-topic, vulgar. It’s a blast of fresh air.
I am pretty sure I am a doppelganger for Alan Alda. I’m a tranny. I’m a man. I’m so painfully insecure. I’m on the verge of vomiting now. I am so horrified that I am here, and embarrassed. I’m scared.”
Awww, don’t be Megan, we’re here for you.

@allyzay: Demoted for lack of capitalization and not being terribly funny/witty/informative. But really it's the capitalization. Shift-key, people!
@Rickyneck: Banned for plagiarism.
@allyzay: You mean Natalie Portman who co-authored a study on neuroscience...

@CaptainFantastic: i can view unapproved commenters? why would i want to??
She is currently the industry "rebellious girls" trademark: tattoo, bisexual, nudity, sexy pout, aggressive personality.
She is very cute and very sexy.
@Senor_Macho_Solo: i know, i know. first it's the farting and nose picking, then suddenly they're on oprah claiming autism is caused by hugging a dolphin or whatever!
@PaisleyPajamas: she looked better when she was "not so cute" though and didn't get all that shit done to herself. i'm not even some jezefeminist, i'm all for plastic surgery but i think she made a bad choice! tho if she was actually going for ironic slutty angelina jolie halloween costume per natasha's post then sure, i'm behind it.
Because ladies like ScarJo and Natalie Portman, who are both devastatingly beautiful and educated
oh honey neither of these girls are educated, in a meaningful sense i mean, they both sound like the type of girls or boys that made me ditch every single day of phil101. so feel better about this at least -- you could easily beat either of them at scrabble, AND you've never fucked moby.
i hope.
@ellagood: You have a star, making you special enough to view the comments from unapproved commenters. Also, you can click the green check mark by their comments and approve them (just that comment).
@sarrible: Claire Danes? She doesn't even work.
Senor_Macho_Solo
Sometimes I can get behind Megan(heh), but now mostly all I see are her clear as day fake boobs and I just have to look away.
And for the record, I'd definitely hang out with Emma, if it meant me being able to girl-talk my way into getting Dan's number(read: into his pants). Same diff.

@ArmCandy: bingo. i fucks with the fox, but the plastic surgery thing just erodes at a lot of what she claims she stands for.
@htotheomo: no, really? am i nothing special anymore? my parents lied to me.
@ellagood: Yup.
Kinda off-topic, but one of the deciding factors of proposing to my fiance was the fact that she woops my ass...
At Scrabble.

@Island of Misfit Toys: Angelina Jolie annoys me, so I get a kick out of the way Megan Fox is ripping off her persona.
She's good at getting attention, which is her job. So good for her, she's good at her job. And she does have this interesting dichotomy going on. Everything she says reads as simultaneously calculated and authentic. Anyway, I feel kind of obligated to like her because she's made comments supporting marijuana legalization.
But I'd much rather hang out with Emma Watson.
@ellagood: Yes.
Island of Misfit Toys
can anyone comment now?
I guess I wish she would try for some more individuality. She has the current industry "rebellious girl" (i.e. Angelina Jolie) trademarks: tattoos, bisexuality, nudity, the sexy pout, the aggressive personality - how much is genuine and how much is crafted just to fit the mold?
Island of Misfit Toys
@DahlELama: Very well-put.
@iplaudius: I assumed she meant that the other hand would be, erm, busy.
"I wouldn’t regret [my "Brian" tattoo] if we weren’t together. I can always have a kid and name him Brian. There are options."
Okay, that's quite possibly the awesomest thing I've read all month.
@PaisleyPajamas: We must wait until she reveals her true self.
@magnets: Yes. Everything out of her mouth is perfectly calculated to fit the definition of what she thinks will sound hot and intriguing. She's trying too hard.
And it would bother me much less if it weren't for all the plastic surgery. I'd be much more likely to believe she was a guy's girl if she hadn't fixed herself up so much.
ArmCandy
I think she's great, especially because she was a not-so-cute duckling AND magically grew her eyebrows back.
That's it! She's an alien!
I don't know, I can't help but feel like she's pretty unpleasant. Most of her quotes/interviews strike me as patronizing and just generally annoying.
PopCultureSavant
@iplaudius: Yeah, "one" and "two" are the same number, and then "four," followed by "heap," and then "The flow of blood is never-ending."
@Caius:
Do not resist! Let the Fox wash over you.
@iplaudius:
That's one of my favorite Megs Quotes!
@DahlELama: Careful, remember what happened when you wished death upon Jessica Biel.
ChickyOnly
@Moff: Grab the bull by the horn, BIG GUY.
Did she mean to say “hands”? I understand she has difficulty with the plural as a result of her having been raised by East Asian wolves.
There's room in my front seat for Megan and Emma. And Rupert Grint.
(WHAT WHO SAID THAT?)
Wonky thumbs freak me out
Tiny Iota
Truth be told, I do like her when I read interviews with her, but she has a weirdly babyish voice that drives me nuts. I think if she and ScarJo just switched voices, and then ScarJo was pushed off a cliff, all would be right with the world.
DahlELama
@iplaudius: And she did come up with "strangle a mountain ox with my bare hand." And I'm going to think some more about her and Olivia Wilde and go do just that. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
@iplaudius: After reading that, and the Scarlett comment, I think I'm falling in love with MFox.
Caius
Thing is she does that "guy's girl, women are so catty and dramatic, omg did I mention how I'd love to suck Olivia Wilde's titties while playing XBOX can't you imagine it" schtick which is so annoying it outweighs everything else, imo. Otherwise I would agree, yeah, endearingly sloppy.

I wouldn't really put Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in the same category. Natalie Portman and Claire Danes, maybe. Scarlett didn't go to college, she just likes to wear ugly glasses. And the voice helps her not sound like a bimbo.
For the record, I wouldn't turn her away (in case she ever asks). However, girls who try act like they are simply 'just one of the guys' are usually the most insecure of all. The sexiness is killed the moment she starts talking about farting in order to get a guy to like her. She complicated...hey! she's sexy again!. Guys like complicated.
Senor_Macho_Solo
She may not be lexically gifted, but that doesn’t mean she’s stupid. Her self-ironizing statements are proof enough of a level of awareness lacking amongst most “starlets.” I was impressed by the critical mind in evidence in her subversive—and hilarious—interpretation of High School Musical:
Let me tell you what it’s really about. High School Musical is about this group of boys who are all being molested by the basketball coach, who is Zac Efron’s dad. It’s about them struggling to cope with this molestation. And they have these little girlfriends, who are their beards. Oh, and somehow there’s music involved.
This lady loves her. Don't we all? She's so smoking that it doesn't really bother me if a man is fantasizing about her with me in bed. That's my gain, not loss. Aaaand, she loves Shia. Liking sweet adorable Shia, in all her hottness, makes her a down girl.
I love her more and more each day.

I wrote a Megan Fox sketch and it made my guy friends' penises cry. "She was on Jimmy Kimmel talking about comic books, so she's adorable! You can't make fun of her! YOU'RE JUST A JEALOUS UGLY DOG." Whatever. She's a flighty 23-year old.
@sarrible: totally. I just happened to watch Nanny Diaries tonight. Dreadful. Poor ScarJo cannot act. Even with brown hair. And her great rack and juicy lips don't begin to make up for that.
@ArmCandy: did she even get that much plastic surgery? i feel she just got one nose job; the skinniness of her face may just be the result of one too many bjs, or one too many bj faces like the pic above
@DahlELama: Do they grow back magically if they are over waxed? If so, I'm veddy jealous.
@Perhaps Not: evangelical or epileptic?
PirateHooker
@what.did.you.just.say.: I always thought the other girl in ghost world was so much better than Scarlett Johansson yet Scarjo is the one who took off. Further proof that mediocrity when balanced with the right amount of puffy lips wins. Case in point: Megan Fox. Ugh.
pony_express
@Perhaps Not: Condescending Evangelical? There are a lot of things to hate about Garden State, but I think that specific reaction is yours alone.
Also, I'm not convinced that Natalie Portman is that smart. The whole "I went to Harvard, look at me!" shtick gets really old really fast, and I know plenty of people who went to Harvard and did not, in fact, become rocket scientists and superheroes. Mostly, she appears to have a huge chip on her shoulder and a very poor understanding of anyone who is not Natalie Portman, cf. her condescending-as-fuck portrayal of a naive evangelical kid in that stupid Zack Braff movie.
@PaisleyPajamas: Wow, I had those EXACT eyebrows. I wonder if we're related...
DahlELama
@PaisleyPajamas: Ha-ha! One of my pals found it, 'cause she's all kinds of awesome. ;)
@allyzay: Actually, I was referring to her school photo that's been floating around that shows she was just as goofy as any of us when she was a kid (cannot seem to locate or remember where I saw it).
I actually love her nose--I like to call that the Elvis/Lisa Marie nose.
Wait, Emma Watson is prim? Strange, because I seem to remember her vag shot involving some not so prim panties.
Oh, but at least she was wearing underwear.

@DahlELama:
BEST.
@DahlELama:
I feel like I've seen Thora's bare lady chest in a movie but I can't for the life of me remember which!
@pony_express: Yes. I loved Thora Birch in Paradise and even in Now and Then, but where on Earth did she go while ScarJo was becoming a household name?
DahlELama
@DahlELama: That is the best idea I have ever heard. I believe Ms. Fox smokes, so we just need to make sure she's also onto the hard liquor, and we'll be well on our way.
I'll take care of Megan if you take care of ScarJo. (I'm sorry, I'm a terribly selfish person.)
asplosionsinthesky
@Natasha VC: Hmm, this is a very good question...you see someone else's bare lady chest in Paradise--whoever the chick is playing her older sister. Perhaps this is the scene you speak of? Though she is the voyeur in this scene, not the voyee.
Also, you rock for posting the Now and Then trailer. That movie was amazing. Christina Ricci still makes me cry in it.

Until I see Ms. Watson in a courtroom or in coke pants she's essentially a nun.
