I'm not really sure if I want to propagate this girl's videos and the bashing of them. Yes, they are disgusting, horrible; crude, depressing. But she's an 11-year-old girl, and 11-year-old girls are idiots. Everyone should know that! The things that little Jessi Slaughter did and said are completely despicable and idiotic; they're even more out of line than the average 11-year-old attention freak's comments. But she is still little Jessi Slaughter.
So instead of posting her original videos, I'm just going to post this relatively unbiased from my much maligned Good Morning America. It also features the trademark idiot Perri Kaplan. I HATE THAT WOMAN. She came to my school once. Apparently the high schoolers (I was in middle school at the time) accosted her, just as they should have. But ignore her part and watch the rest to get filled in on the Jessi Slaughter story that everyone on the Internet has been talking about for the past week or two. (Everyone has been talking about it, right? Yeah?)
At the risk of sounding like an English teacher, what do you think her videos/behavior says about what youth is coming to? Personally, I think kids are growing up even faster than they used to. This is pretty obvious, I think. It's hard to distinguish a child from a preteen (because there IS a difference) when their mouths are closed these days. It's sad. We should appreciate the youth we have. We shouldn't even know what a "glock" is (I still don't and I'm 5 years older than this girl!) and we shouldn't we going on the Internet at age 11 and telling people to "get AIDS and die." But once again, I want to make it clear that I don't support the bullying of her -- because it IS bullying -- and I do feel bad for her because of what the people on the Internet have done. They've made fun of her, brutally. And even though she wants to act so grown up, she is so obviously a kid. She can dress my age but she can't act it, and she can't think like it.
It's sad, really.
i agree, i think this is really sad. i mean obviously the things she said were disgusting and obnoxious but she's just a little girl and it's obvious her family must have serious problems. it's just... disturbing. and i mean, it's not right for her to be telling people to go "suck a penis and die" but it wasn't right for people to react the way they did, either.
ReplyDeletethe internet is a screwed up place sometimes. i don't think that this is the norm, though. at least i hope not, but i really don't think most 11 year old girls are doing this kind of stuff.
a glock is just a type of pistol, by the way.
haters be haten, but yeah, she just eleven. Did you post this because of the other incident we discussed at Nicky's house? It was also cool seeing you in the city, i love random encounters.
ReplyDelete@Michael: What "other incident we discussed at Nicky's house"? Sometimes a girl needs a reminder. Also, french fries. I could go for some of those.
ReplyDeleteIt is the great post i have read so far.

Haha, you're bold but not THAT bold. You can't discuss this situation without mentioning the message board on the rogue anarchic site (it rhymes with door fan)that posted her personal information. I don't blame you though, I'm deathly afraid. As evinced by what they did to Gawker, I don't dare mention they-who-shall-not-be-named, lest they come after my ass, lol.
