Never ask if it's possible for Amanda Palmer to fail more

[livejournal.com profile] sparkymonster lays down the facts on Amanda's latest fail. Between this and the response to criticism of Evelyn/Evelyn? No limits on the fail.

Some of the pictures at Sparkymonsters post are potentially triggering images of racist violence. Be warned.

I've been hearing about this from a die-hard Amanda Palmer fan who is quick to her defense. Apparently it's just 'black humour' (more poor wording) and nobody has the stomach for it.

No wonder she's apologetic. With some fans you can do no wrong, and after a while that will only validate your stupid.

I would say no one has the stomach for it because it's horrible and in poor taste. But yeah, fans can sometimes be astoundingly uncritical.

Also, I like Meloukhia's post about hipster racism (http://meloukhia.net/2009/07/hipster_racism.html).
