You’d never know it if you look at the numerous skin-deep attempts at philosophy he posts on his account, or the fact that his relationship with Jennifer Aniston ended in part due to his obsessive posting, but not only is John Mayer not addicted to Twitter, he told E! that he thinks it’s “silly and dumb”, and “one step away from sending pictures of your poop.”
“It’s inherently silly and it’s inherently dumb,” the singer told me last night at the One Splendid Evening benefit for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation aboard the Carnival Splendor cruise ship in San Pedro, Calif. “If you really think that Twitter is the pathway to spiritual enlightenment, well…It’s one step away from sending pictures of your poop.”
So why does the Grammy-winner twitter all the time?
“I’ve always communicated at a high level as best I can whether it’s Twitter, Napster or message boards or wherever,” Mayer said. “I don’t have a devotion to Twitter. I didn’t sell out to Twitter. You do Twitter until everybody gets off of Twitter and it’s something else you go and try out.”
If you set Google Translator to translate from Douchebag > English, and put in that interview, you get: “I’ll do anything that’s popular– even if my condescending false sense of superiority tells me it’s ridiculous and dumb– because I’m a sellout. Or a hypocrite. Or both. On is a the breadfruit cusp.”
LOL
great post kelly! I wonder why Mayer is so damned defensive about using twitter. Man, just say that you like it (you so clearly do). It’s a-okay. We’re all dorks in some way. But denying your loooove just makes you look like a douche.
And why is he talking about Napster in terms of communication? Don’t get it. Were there some crazy popular forum posts that I am unaware of?
I love him.
That’s a great post Kelly. I love your writing.
I wondered about that napster comment, too.
HA. awesome post, kelly.
man, i’m gonna be singing “my bullshit has a first name” all weekend.
I dont like Kelly’s posts, she tries too hard.
And it’s not funny.
Wendie can be edgy and funny, Kelly fails.
Cant we have just Beet and Wendie? Or someone more like Soleil?
Kelly fails :)
I know it’s just personal opinion, but it SHOCKS me when people say they prefer Soleil over Kelly. Sol would just write like one or two sentences half the time. So many typos. At least Kelly is trying (and in my mind, doing fabulously). Sol seemed like she thought it was a chore.
YOU fail. in case you haven’t noticed, you’re in the extreme minority. so go away or shut up, cause we love kelly, and we all hope she’s here to stay.
Wow so unless I agree with the majority I’m not allowed to voice my thoughts?
Let’s hope YOU never make it to president, Hitler.
I completely disagree – I think Kelly’s posts are hilarious.
Kelly is the queen of post titling. GENIUS!
Kelly, you fit right in here – what a great addition to the site!
He stuff his shorts with maxi pads to make it look like he has a bigger earth worm than he really does.
He also uses Nair on his starfish.
ha ha ha……..STARFISH AND WORMS…….LOL I LIKE YOU
WAIT celebs use message boards too!?? OMG. What If i meet an anonymous one and we become bffs!?
He’s on there all the time. Total hypocrite.
“On is a the breadfruit cusp.”
Kelly, I love you.
I know, right? I wish my brain worked that way. Kelly, you are a riot!
as much as I hate john mayer, everything he says is right- at least he is being honest. Twitter IS stupid- but it is fun because EVERYONE is doing it. its not like twitter is some introverted thing- or like posting on an actual blog in random bursts of enlightenment. And yeah, everyone will move on from it and it wont be fun anymore. I cant hate him for this comment- he is right, and being pretty honest.
Oh, I just checked out his Twitter. Feel ill, must lie down. *gack*
I caved into pressure and checked out his account. Now my brain is caving in from the weight of the self important bullshit. *gack* is exactly right!
every body thinks your a bith
I don’t like to comment on blogs. It’s silly.
This guy isn’t just a douche. He is used douche liquid while it is running down the drain. His 15 minutes were up long ago.
