Julia Roberts isn't 'young'. Not a hunnert years old, but no spring chicken either. Besided her mouth is so wide, she looks like she could be Canadian.
Mind you, this is the same woman that accused Maureen Dowd of being racist because she tried to set her up with a "hot" guy, who happened to be black. Yuck, something wrong when I'm defending Maureen Dowd.
She is the corn in the poo of our cultural decline, or at least one little tiny bit of corn.
Just my two cents.
“Maureen Dowd”
No offense, but I could care less about this thread. However, since you mentioned MD, I’m just here for the pictures! :)
I don't know ANY "white girls" with more than one of these problems.
I swear, if I never see Julia Roberts’ teeth again, it will be too soon.
Oh for goodness sakes! These people really do love to talk about themselves, don't they.
Lost me right there.
Twitter is for twits.
Why doesn’t that person just start her own #blackgirlproblems hash tag and post away?
I think I agree.
“Yuck, something wrong when I’m defending Maureen Dowd.”
The only thing wrong is the non-observance of the rule.
“screaming her awake from this dream of escaping to finding yourself, “Get over yourself!””
Despite the racist theme of the article, I do agree that yet another movie about self-discovery, finding one’s self, personal quest for enlightenment, blah blah blah is really the last thing we need.
What a self-obsessed culture we have become.

If you are human; you will have problems.
These people need to stop putting the boodgy woodgy on us.
“white-girl problems?”
Known a few in my life, and their problems, from my experience, are mostly taken care of by a kind word, a good listening ear, nodding yes a lot and gobs of chocolate fudge and a few glasses of chilled rose wine. Good barbecue and bags of jumbo potato chips helps, too.
BTW, this applies to brown, black, red and yellow women, too.
Women is women....God bless ‘em all.
That said, the plot is about clueless wealthy people problems rather than about anything racial. The book was self-indulgent tripe. I'm sure the movie will be more of the same. IIRC, the author used a 6-figure advance to travel for a year during which time she tried to "find" herself. Apparently, in her universe, finding oneself involves spending money on oneself. Lots of it.
I can't imagine how truly yucky a person would have to be to only be able to spend time with themselves in exotic locations.
Last I checked, boundless vanity wasn't the sole purvey of any one racial group.
Black Girl problems:
1. Remembering which guy goes with each of your kids.
2. Running out of press-on nails.
3. Not rolling over on your baby in the middle of the night.
4. Falling for another smooth line from a guy who just wants a little somtin-somtin.
5. Hair extensions. Gotta have hair extensions.
6. Is my butt too skinny?
7. Gots ta get my Section 8 housing voucher so I can house my kids. (Atlanta most recently)
8. I can’t get liquor with my food stamps?
9. Praise Jesus, and curse whitey, the source of all my problems.
10. My problems are so much worse than white girls’ problems - I’M BLACK YOU KNOW!
Thanks for the summary. My wife was hinting that she wanted me to take her to this movie but I think I'll paint the garage, shampoo the rugs, give the dog a bath, poke sharp sticks in my eyes, even jump out of a plane without a parachute if necessary. Anything but see this movie. I'll have to repeat the same maneuvers I had to take to avoid seeing "Sex In The City."
Why do women insist on men going with them to emasculating crap like this? If it's not a chick flick, it's an art museum, a ballet or a shopping trip.
I mean, it's not like I insist that the wife go with me to a hockey game, or a fishing trip or a Three Stooges marathon.
On the subject of movies, my wife had me take her to see "Inception" a couple weeks ago. OK, it wasn't a chick flick, but what the heck was that all about? Made no sense to me whatsoever.
