Rock of Love Bus is the most disgusting program ever.

[Fenris]

Within the first episode, one of the, er, women did something involving a shot of liquor and her vagina that was foul enough to have to be reduced to a slideshow of still images of horrified reactions of onlookers. It thankfully leaves a lot to the imagination, but then it requires you to think of how one combines a shot of liquor and female genitalia and you start feeling sick.

It kind of doesn't help that this show directly caused the death of two 19 year old girls:

1. I was planning on watching at some point.

Usually, I catch the marathons at Madrone's. Reading this makes me re-think that.

I don't even want to THINK about shots of liquor and female genitalia. :puke:

[Fenris]

6. I've watched every one of these dating shows.

This is BY FAR the worst.

[Skittles]

15. you are weird

most guys, that's all they think about :rofl:

[petronius]

2. Would that still be called a cocktail?

:shrug:

[Jamastiene]

3. What the hell is wrong with y'all?

Don'cha know that shots of liquor are the quickest way to get to female genitalia in the first place? :hide:

[Chan790]

5. I find that cocktails, great conversation and wit work better.

Your results may vary. :shrug:

[Sultana]

4. Trashy Show

I prefer the Real and Chance show :D

[Fenris]

7. That one is awesome!

Those two are a riot.

[Connonym]

8. I'm wondering why the combination of female genitalia and a shot makes one sick

is the implication that girl bits are dirty and/or disgusting? Maybe I'm misunderstanding here but on the surface that seems pretty misogynistic.

[Kali]

9. I suspect it was the context, but my first reaction was similar to yours.

[Fenris]

10. Oh, give me a break

[Connonym]

11. no, no I won't

n/t

[HEyHEY]

32. Cause you hate women and like seeing them objectified? IS that why?

[Connonym]

37. Absolutely, I'm completely self-loathing that way

:eyes: The OP didn't say that objectifying women was sick, he said that drinking from the female genitalia was sick. In the context that women have long been brought up to believe that our genitalia was dirty/smelly/disgusting is it surprising that I assume this is the OP's point? I'm not the only one who took it that way. Secondly, the women are objectifying themselves. I personally would find it degrading to behave that way in public (in private it's a different matter) but they are doing it of their own free will and while you could argue that there's a historical bias making women feel that their only value is in their sexuality you could also make the argument that they aren't being forced into this behavior and therefore they are entitled to do whatever they want with their sexuality and to say that they are not capable of making decisions regarding their own body and sexuality is paternalistic.

[HEyHEY]

39. Well, I don't think we should be needing to draw pictures for everyone here

To automatically assume that someone is sexist because they don't like the bodily fluids of strangers mixed with their Chi-chi is a bit unfair.

[Fenris]

41. You're completely right!

How could I have been so stupid? Right here in my copy of Mr. Boston, in between the Collins and the Highball, there's a picture of a vagina. It's a perfectly acceptable vessel, but only for vodka-based cocktails. Won't you like an idiot at the party if you try serving a whiskey sour in a vagina!

It would totally be misandrist if I said the thought of a man using his erect penis to stir my martini makes me nauseated. I really should be more respectful of people and their offers to use their sex organs to make my cocktails. And I should tip more. Actually, now that I think of it, I'm going to use my rectum as a martini shaker the next time I throw a party at my house. Alcohol kills bacteria, doesn't it?

42. .

:thumbsup:

[Book Lover]

12. Especially when some men pay some women to do this

I officially give up on understanding men.

[Jamastiene]

14. That's the same vibe I got.

I still don't understand why liquor, which is very popular, and female genitalia, which is in very high demand, brings such a reaction.

[Fran Kubelik]

16. I actually got the feeling that Fenris found the degrading nature of the show objectionable.

I think you will find that Fenris is a friend and advocate for women.

Reading his post, I got the impression that he found this program and the situation disgusting in the same way that Girls Gone Wild is disgusting - women are being exploited for "entertainment" value.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. .

:thumbsup:

[EstimatedProphet]

18. Really?

Male genitalia is also in very high demand. Would it be difficult to understand why someone would find licking tequila off of someone's dick to be disgusting too? I certainly can understand why they would.

[HEyHEY]

31. If it wasn't disgusting I wouldn't have to beg women to do it.

[CanuckAmok]

23. What?!

Gee, perhaps someone finds it repellent to drink anything out of an organic orifice without it becoming yet another reactionary DU gender (non-)issue. Oh, wait... too late.

I remember last week when I was at a NYE party and there was a Senegalese pirate offering to stir our martinis with his leg stump. I found that pretty distasteful so now I've been labeled as a racist and anti-pirate.

And once there was a guy I knew who could pour Jagermeister shots from his tracheotomy hole. I found that to be kind of gross, too (but I still did it).

I like vaginas. A lot. I still wouldn't drink anything from one.

I have a feeling you're just looking for a fight here (surprise, surprise). Vegas has good odds that you're just as ready to argue that drinking from a woman's vagina is an objectification of women. Oh, excuse me... womYn.

Jesus, get a grip.

[Rhythm]

26. I'm wondering the same thing, Connie... and coming to the same conclusions.

:hi:

[HEyHEY]

30. So, you're all for turning vaginas into a commodity?

[Zuiderelle]

28. That's what you jump to instead of the obvious crassness and objectification of women?

A show that displays women providing shots from their vaginas is definitely not empowering to women. I'd argue that it's much more misogynistic to do that and show the reactions of horrified onlookers at the expense of the vagina-cum-bartender than to be disgusted by them doing it.

And did you miss this last sentence in the OP: "It kind of doesn't help that this show directly caused the death of two 19 year old girls"?

P.S. I'm gay and the last thing I'd want to do with a woman's vagina is drink shots out of it.

Maybe I'm a misogynistic lesbian! :crazy:

[HEyHEY]

29. If anything he's being decidedly anti-sexist.

Or perhaps you like the dehumanizing of vaginas for entertainment?

[Book Lover]

13. So disgusting that you had to keep watching it? n/t

[HEyHEY]

33. same reason he comes to DU, I reckon

[meegbear]

17. Ahhh, Brett ...

if you're doing "reality" shows on VH1, you're officially no longer a rock-n-roll rebel. You never were with Poison, but these appearances keep driving it home.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. The OP Is Referring To The Context Not The Act Itself Which Is Arguably Hot

And what do you think Mick Jagger was singing about in "Let It Bleed"?

"And there will always be a space in my parking lot. When you need a little coke and sympathy ."

[seemunkee]

21. My daughter had it on while I was doing some computer work

It was like a train wreck, I kept looking up at it to see what kind of idiocy was going on.
I know something else will come along and top it but that has got to be one of the worst shows on TV today.

[DS1]

22. They could call that bus DouchebagSkankOne

wait, don't

[bigwillq]

24. All those shows are just trash.

I never watch them.

[snooper2]

25. The show didn't directly cause the death of the girls...

That is just stupid...

"The crew member, who is not an associate of Bret Michaels or part of his tour staff, was identified by The Chicago Tribune as Dennis D. Hernandez. He was reported to be driving to the reality show's next filming location when he allegedly fell asleep at the wheel and caused the traffic accident. He survived the tragedy and is now cited for driving with a suspended license and several other traffic offenses, according to Illinois state police."

That's would be like me driving home from work yapping on the phone- running a red light and killing a kid walking across the street. Fact that I was leaving work means nothing....


Aside from that- anybody that watches that show is a complete fucking idiot and needs to get a life :)

[haele]

27. Oh joy. Thanks for the spoiler for this week's "Soup" clip of the week...

Bleergh.

Haele

[Lucian]

34. So what's wrong with taking a shot from...there?

:shrug:

[JVS]

35. zOMG! I have to catch up with TV viewing!

[JVS]

36. Hey, Youtube delivers!

[petronius]

38. I was completely wrong in my initial reaction. I'm going to call my mom and my wife

and every woman womyn that I admire and respect to apologize for ever thinking that this clip could depict anything other than powerful sensuous sisterhood. The fucking patriarchy has corrupted my soul... :cry:


:rofl:

[AwakeAtLast]

40. Bret actually looked like he was going to hurl at one point

I'm thinking it takes a lot of skank to give him that look! :rofl:
