[Her] Subspace Biographies

Ann Althouse trolls the Internets once more with her patented move of confusing Truth with the things she's told by the tutu-clad pink teddy bears who frolic & caper & dance about in her brain:

Asks a commenter — "Tom" — on my post about the new Hillary Clinton commercial, the one that shows several children sleeping and then Clinton taking a national security phone call in the middle of the night. You can see the commercial at the link, and the pajamas in question are on display during seconds 11 and 12. On pausing, staring, and thinking, I believe these are pajamas that say "good night" all over them, but the letters "NIG" are set apart by a fold in the fabric.

Is the campaign responsible for sending out a subliminal message to stimulate racist thoughts in the unsuspecting viewer? It is either deliberate or terribly incompetent.

You can either try to sort out exactly why the HRC campaign would be engaging in pajamas-based racial slurs, or instead you can go investigate the True Fact that if you play "My Humps" backwards you get the subliminal message, "Ann Althouse is bugshit loopy." I recommend the latter course, but I'm not one to go around denying anyone their particular amusements.

UPDATE: Althouse, predictably, updates by whining about how she's being attacked on other blogs through "personal attacks" and not "substantial debate." But why is she focusing on blogs when it's the Black Eyed Peas who have attacked her most directly in the song "My Humps," which is obviously all about Ann Althouse? As is, of course, "Ann Althouse Gets Retarded in Here." That last link by the way goes to the official theme song of the Althouse Komment Kommunity, particularly the fellow who says that the fact that the "G" in the alleged "NIG" really looks a lot more like a "C" only strengthens his thesis.

I love you.

[Me]

I believe the secret message had something to do with Traudl Humps. And from there it's a short jump to fascism.

[vanderleun]

It's another who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes for Althouse.

[Interrobang]

I can't decide whether I'm angry at you for tricking me into watching that or not.

Is it just me, or for someone who's doing an entire song about her ostensible curves, does she have rather small boobs and a remarkably flat butt? I mean, come on, I fill out my clothes better than that, and I'm a plug-ugly white kid from the suburbs... *chuckle*

Whenever I get called to another Billary jagfest at Ann's house, I know she's been drinking the Sterno again, pining for the days she spent with her only true love, Sam.

They used to sing this treacly song to each other while looking goo-goo eyed at each other. It was called 'Some Enchanted Evening', only they sang it 'Sam and Ann, It's Evening.'

Back then, I'd turn up the TV and pretend I didn't know what was coming next. Sure enough, within 5 minutes, they'd be tiptoeing into the bedroom and I'd be stuck listening to their headboard bouncing against the wall, repetitively, almost all the way through the commercial break.

I dunno why they broke up after 6 weeks. She always said it was because he was secretly gay. But I know he also used to send her VHS tapes of his crooning and she said, behind the lyrics, there were subliminal messages to her.

Of course, I suspected it was the Sterno talking. I found one of those tapes when she went off on Billary last time. It seems like a perfectly sweet song, not a moment out of tune.

Maybe you can see some subliminal message to her. I know I sure can't.

[Righteous Bubba]

Why does Touch My Bum contain the word ouch?

[Michelle]

I've always thought that she has had something going on with more than one of her commenters.

It's either that, or she has trolls that are more deceptive than those at Balloon Juice.

[flory]

I must be old and out of touch with popular culture.

I listened carefully but I missed the secret message.

Will you enlighten us? Or does that contravene the 'secret' rulez?

[MAJeff]

, I know she's been drinking the Sterno again,

Very nice. Very nice.

[sdf (Stu)]

Damn kids these days with their racist pajamas and everything. Just makes you sick.

[stickler]

It's either that, or she has trolls that are more deceptive than those at Balloon Juice.

Such a thing is unpossible.

Man . . .

All these years, I believed that I had decided to disrespect Ann Althouse for legitimate, thoughtful reasons. I believed that I had read her statements -- most importantly, her strong stand against women having breasts -- analyzed them, and found them wanting. Little did I know, an innocuous song about Lady Lumps had insidiously changed my mind. What does this mean? Am I a Democrat solely because of the subliminal messages of Finally by Ce Ce or possibly Unforgiven by Metallica? Do I dislike McCain simply because my radio played S.O.S. to me the other morning? It makes one shudder for the Republic.

the image of an adorable, sleeping black child is cunningly chosen by the Clinton campaign: what could SEEM less fearful than a cute, sleeping child? surely such an image cannot be chosen to play on racist anxieties. but wait! the true racist knows all too well that EVEN WHEN SLEEPING and years from puberty young black children are ALREADY PLOTTING to ravish white women and abduct them from their beds--the VERY BEDS that are depicted in this insidious commerical that so cleverly appeals to racist fantasies....as soon as this this commercial concludes, this young black child will no doubt go from bed to bed, committing the most HORRIFIC CRIMES upon the INNOCENT PERSONS of those other adorable racially diverse children depicted in the commercial. how DARE the Clinton campaign so cynically invoke the divisive figure of the cute black rapist child? for SHAME, Clinton campaign--for SHAME!

Well, shudder you should, but it was really listening to Enter Sandman that did it.

[¡El Gato Negro!]

¿Forget back-masking, what about those diabolical "mash-ups"?

¿eh?

[olexicon]

I would ahve thought Althouse would see "GIN" in the pajamas

Your Jonah-fu is strong.

[actor212]

Really dumb question: how did she know the kid was black?

Cmon, Ann...what discernible characteristic told you that child was black? I couldn't even tell if it was a boy or girl, blonde or brunette...what told you, Annie?
