More Anti-Fuggery

I’ve made no secret of my contempt for Go Fug Yourself, and today I experienced a fresh resurgence of loathing. Here are just a few of the choice comments that site has recently had for actor Lindsay Lohan:

… We’ve been pretty patient with Lindsay Lohan lately. She’s allegedly been trying to get it together, albeit with a few missteps and a crotch flash, and we were totally encouraged by the news that she was both dating an alleged clean-living advocate and had a screaming match with her no-good self-involved slag heap of a mother — not that we advocate screaming at mothers, but since Dina has firmly and unhealthily (for her child) entrenched herself in the “boozy sorority sister” category rather than the “parent” one, we feel little remorse. And so word of their little spat gave us a reason to hope that maybe, maybe, Lindsay was going to shake off Dina’s evil talons and get some ACTUAL advice and help from someone with ACTUAL maternal impulses and ACTUAL sense. (It’s a crying shame when we feel more motherly toward her than most other people.)

But then, poor Lindsay had her little breakup hissyfit/makeup sex with Harry Morton, and it turns out she’s just as unstable and co-dependent as ever. …

…. It’s bad enough that she is wearing leggings, and indeed, leggings that are wholly exposed. But the real problem is that she’s dragging Queen into her bloated abyss of dysfunction. Do NOT besmirch Queen with your ill-fitting, off-the-shoulder, faux-pants-loving fashion crimes, Lindsay!

Or from this post, verbiage ostensibly direct at Lohan’s mother Dina:

Look into her face, Dina. Again, I wish this were just one bad photo, but they’re all like this. Do you not see? How are you letting this happen? You’re very clearly around her a lot, and you have a reputation for liking to club and schmooze through The Scene almost as much as your child does, so you can’t plead ignorance of all the temptations. You know. And, I’m not insisting she’s skiing down a mountain of fresh white Colombian snow or anything, but… LOOK AT HER. I’m not kidding, hag. Something’s either missing or overmedicated or has been beaten into submission, and not for nothing, she was parading around with Kate Moss recently like they’d been surgically conjoined.

Even if her recent inability to look sober or cognizant in photographs is a bit startling, Dina, it’s still not surprising given that for years now we’ve watched her turn into an undirected party girl. …

Okay, so the site is making rude and insulting personal attacks on Lindsay Lohan, what else is new? Well, one thing that is new are reports that she may have attempted suicide. How hilarious, huh? It’s not like she’s human or anything, right?   Via The Trouble With Spikol.

    Thanks Ann, for demonstrating once again that go fug yourself is basically the work of deeply reactionary high-tech village scolds. They ain’t no sisters.

    I’m not a fan of Lohan’s, but yeesh, what creepy ghouls those fuggers are.
