Jessica: So where do you stand?
Jeff: I'd say...overdone. It's...
Jessica: Yeah, me, too.
Jeff: I mean, you could even wonder if the artist is implying a woman is a piece of meat...
Jessica: ...
Jessica: ...
Jessica: I didn't even get that it was a hamburger! I just thought it was a really fuckin' ugly dress!

i didn't even notice it was a hamburger until i read your comment. DEFINITELY overdone.

It took me a few seconds to catch the theme, but once I did, it was genius.

I have to say overdone because
a. It doesn't look that well made.
b. I couldn't tell what it was.

I have to say overdone because
a. What? Did America suddenly just run out of new ideas?

You're in the same boat as me. I disliked it, and then disliked it even more when I figured out what it was supposed to be.

Too bad you already wrote your poll. I would have said "Inspired or insipid"?

[lagizma]

Where were you last night? I was quizzing Jeff on how to phrase my poll. I was like, how do I say "inspired or attention whore?"

[helpimarock]

Insipid! That's the word I was trying to think of. Yeah, we really did debate which word to use for at least 10-15 minutes. I got as far as 'pretentious', but that didn't seem quite right.

You should watch the Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle movie. It does wonders for your vocabulary. Who could ever forget the word "insipid" after the following exchange?

NARRATOR: "And so our insipid heroes..."
BULLWINKLE: "Don't you mean 'intrepid'?"
NARRATOR: "Noooo..."

That's absurd. And if they just felt compelled to do it, couldn't they have gotten a brown that looks more like beef and less like...something else?
