now that i have more than a quarter of a million followers on pinterest (yeah, WTF?! it’s ridiculous), whenever i pin a picture that is even vaguely controversial it usually provokes ‘hilariously‘ insightful comments like these, these and these.
honestly; i know that pinterest is now third only to facebook and tumblr as far as time-wasting goes (pub fact; can’t remember where i read that), but who are these people?!!
quite why they think that i (or anyone else) wants to read their ‘ugly as sin’ / ‘someone give this girl a hamburger’ / ‘gayer than gay’ style comments is beyond me.
anyway; rant over. (again).
let’s look at these lovely clothes instead, shall we?
beautifully mental.
oh good grief…. bloody people eh?……time to start a new pinterest account under a pseudonym me thinks (that’s what I did… )……. or hassle pinterest to enable blocking….
PS. MSGM, just beautiful, you have phenomenal taste!
Looking at those comment I think you are brave to continue using that account and site – I am not so thick skinned. Who wants to be filled up with other people’s negativity and god-bothering. P-interest don’t seemed to bothered with privacy if you can’t block members.
Thanks for the link to Hila’s article on PETA on another of your recent posts.
don’t they have anything better to? those comments on pinterest are so awful. i don’t understand why they have to interfere with such negative comments…..
msgm: gorgeous!!!
Well. They are some fancy duds, aren’t they!
Oh, I know that people on Pinterest can be annoying but they are so entertaining too! You know, 4 and 6 years olds are using Pinterest. So next time you want to put up a picture of pencils with witty sayings on them / skinny women wearing clashing prints who have large hands / words that may or may not be pro or anti-abortion, maybe you should think again and pin a picture of Jesus instead. How dare you use your Pinterest to pin images of things you find interesting and entertaining.
Don’t tempt me.
I saw a pin of a Jesus waffle iron once: oh, the debate that followed…
PS too funny :)
I noticed the pencil debacle earlier on this week actually and was slightly amused, but it clearly got ridiculously out of hand! I think people need to get a life!
In other news – that scarlet cape coat thingamabob?! I WANT IT!
Yes; I was amused at first, but then the PORN comments were just ridiculous. Hilariously ridiculous and ridiculously stupid at the same time..!
Yes, well no offence but you aren’t exactly what I’d denote a raunchy pinner!
Oops that was me (Jenna) but incompetence at commenting on my iPhone made me stealth!
I know!
I’m embarrassingly predictable, really. Show me a picture of visually appealing food / brightly coloured, slightly prim clothing / blurry photo with light flares and i’m all over it.
Which again makes me wonder who on earth would get offended by those pics..!
PS none taken ;)
congrats on all the new followers! ;)
i’m actually surprised how many negative comments are out there on pinrterest since people can’t actually comment anonymously which is usually what happens on blogs. THey actually have to OWN their comments, ha!
TRUE
I hadn’t thought of that..!!
oh i just saw this one!!

I may be an old fuddy-duddie, which I’d rather be than to have people know I have filth coming out of my mouth.. It is so sad that women have turned to this when it is so much easier to use clean, decent language. loving U in Christ.
ha ha ha ha ha.
I know: HILARIOUS!
I actually laughed out loud at the ‘pin – Jesus’ suggestion :)
Pinterest comments make me sad! It’s so odd. I had no idea it was so bad. I guess my pins are not provactive enough? (a little sarcasm there;) But this spread makes me so joyously happy. I wish my closet was filled with every piece.
