Lovelyish

a lot of people don’t know who JK Rowling is. She’s the author of Harry Potter. She didn’t write a tale of two cities, for shits sake. 

Whoever hasn’t read the Harry Potter books wouldn’t know who she is. Calling JK Rowling a prolific author is a BIT of a stretch. as is comparing her to Maya Angelou…

Why can’t I hate her?

When I read this, this .gif came to mind: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnw13mVksS1qc3reoo1_500.gif

I am not sure how this is even noteworthy.  This woman (Snooki) does not present herself as a person that reads.

does it make you feel smart and classy, thinking this is a good topic for discussion?

@ohletitbe@xanga - JK Rowling is generally well known in popular culture. It would be very difficult not to hear of her at least once somewhere. Even if you haven’t read the books or watched the movies, there’s the advertising, mention of her on the Internet, on TV, etc. Kind of like you’d be able to know who Stephenie Meyer is without having read Twilight. 

lol it’s all an act. i still love her.

5th season comes out in april !!!!!

If you are going to mock Snooki, make sure you don’t have a typo in your title… 

@livelaughphotograph@xanga - No. She really IS this stupid. (I have a cousin who works behind the scenes for Jersey Shore.)

@boilingicicle@xanga - Obviously the writer of this post is supez smart considering they KNOW A CHILDREN’S BOOK AUTHOR, zomg.

I think you’re missing a “Who.” Hey, is this Snooki?

Are WHAT?! What are they?! …you forgot a “who” whilst mocking someone else for their English-related stupidity. Haha.

Okay, I can see how she would have heard of Harry Potter, but not know who wrote the books. But never having heard of Maya Angelou is pretty…um…yeah.

“…this is worth noting.”

Really?  This woman and all the idiocy she’s famous for is really worth noting?  
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

She’s faking the accent. I’ve never watched her before now, and I can assure you of this.

She looks like a swine, a pig. a leather one..

I have 2 gay cats too, btw.

…nice implants. (those are not real)

I mean, retarded people need love too.

Someone’s been watching Jenna Marbles on the bra trick xD

It’s not so much that she doesn’t know who they are that bothers me, but how she has a “psh, who cares” attitude making it sound like she thinks she is better and more important than the author of Harry Potter. She really REALLY needs to get the fuck over herself, but I guess she won’t until the rest of the world does. Arrogance and stupidity are both horrible qualities, and she manages to have both.

@ohletitbe@xanga - I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books or watched the movies and I know who J.K. Rowling is. 

it’s Snooki … she’s getting paid to put on a performance called Snooki so i don’t know why you’re really surprised because i’m not .

@ohletitbe@xanga - I’m sorry, but aren’t both of them technically prolific. I mean, I know Angelou has written a lot more (and some can say it’s better, I’m not getting into that argument) but…I mean…Rowling wrote seven highly popular and praised books in about a decade. I would call that prolific.

@phuck_diz_shiz@xanga - Maya Angelou is not dead … then how would she be coming to a poetry slam for my University. Whaa?

J.K Rowling is also not done with as there’s still Pottermore, and I think that’s pretty popular. 
Sorry, gotta point out some misinformed stuff.

@aWishfulCynic@xanga - lol wow I’m surprised she’s pretty old

@phuck_diz_shiz@xanga - Lols she’s 83. She’s old, but not as old as one would think!

What’s the big deal about not knowing who they ?

JK Rowling was famous when the Harry Potter books first came out & the movies — do you know how long that was !?!?JK Rowling is DONE now –> same as the harry potter movies / books
Obviously SNooki never read any of their “literature” nor cares who they are 
Did Maya Angelou & JK Rowling make a significant difference in your life by reading their stuff ?

(P.S:  I do know who they are and have* read their literature)

@phuck_diz_shiz@xanga - Maya Angelou…um…she’s not dead. LOL

And just because JK Rowling is “over” in YOUR eyes doesn’t mean that there aren’t still millions of people reading her books.

maaaan, she’s ugly.

@FIREExATxWILL@xanga - Because as ridiculous as she is, she’s endearing. I think she had a good heart buried in that bronze cleavage. And she’s real. She knows she’s ridiculous and doesn’t give a shit.

I think I got dumber reading this crap. 

i know who JK Rowling is when someone mentions the fact that she wrote harry potter, but just hearing the name i wouldn’t have a clue. as for Maya Angelou, i know she’s an author, however i know nothing about the books she’s written.

i mean, i’m not as dumb as snookie kinda is or plays to be, but i understand her not knowing those two people. i’m in that same boat. not everyone in this world loves to read or is up to date on famous writers.
i don’t really care for jersey shore, first season was just a train wreck that i couldn’t look away from, second season was almost the same – and is it now the third? fourth? who knows, haven’t watched a damn thing. everyone on facebook basically fills me in on the stupidity of the show with their statuses about it.

Who the fuck is JK Rowling?

I love Maya Angelou.

It’s not so much that she doesn’t know who they are. It’s a reflection of our upcoming generations, kids who want to be like Snooki or who already are. It’s a scary thing if you think about it. Education is super important. Sure we are not going to know who every person is, but there is a problem when kids can sing pop songs from heart but have no clue about influential people in our world. When you don’t educate yourself on important people and issues, you tend to get swindled and tricked. Education can be a powerful thing, and should never be laughed at or ignored. Ignorance isn’t bliss.

So, Snooki is a complete moron.  No news there.  

MY point IS, no one would know who the fuck JK Rowling was if Harry Potter didn’t exist. If HP wasn’t popular, she wouldn’t be a “prolific” writer. and I’m sorry, but writing a story about a wizard and a bunch of make believe shit doesn’t make you prolific. 

What’s prolific is the amount of money she banked off of the USA in HP merchandise and books. 
The US pretty much made her the millionaire she is today. not many “prolific writers” are millionaires.She is prolific for writing a fantasy book and getting rich off of it. sorry, but that’s my two cents. lol
@her_phantasmagoria@xanga - @thepsychoticraccoon@xanga - 

@lemons_to_lemonade@xanga - pfttt. people off jersey shore don’t need school! lol

@ohletitbe@xanga - I don’t think we’re using the same definition of prolific. And you can’t discount a writer from being prolific because of the genre of writing. A prolific writer doesn’t have to be rich, that is true, but a prolific writer can be (and this is not because she just wrote “a story about a wizard and a bunch of make believe shit”). Rowling’s work obviously had the right stuff to make it a pop culture phenomenon and that doesn’t discount her as a prolific writer. Furthermore, she didn’t write a “fantasy book.” She wrote seven of them with varying lengths in the course of about a decade (yes I repeated something). One book doesn’t make you prolific. She didn’t write one book.

Sorry, that’s just my two cents. 

@her_phantasmagoria@xanga - Ok that’s great that you like Harry Potter, but my point is more on the lines of- she wrote one series of fantasy tales.  
Maya Angelou was a New York Bestseller for two years straight. She’s written something like six or seven autobiographical novels, and hundreds of poems. (starting from the early 60s)

I don’t see the comparison.

Lovelyish = Potterheads. (I was one too. Harry Potter week, remember?!)

So we are surprised that someone doesn’t know JK Rowling. If someone told me they didn’t know Avril Lavigne I’d be all WHAAA?!?!? too.

@ohletitbe@xanga - My liking for the series isn’t essential to my point what so ever. I’m not comparing the two either. I really wouldn’t want to because they’re on two different levels with two very different audiences. When I write I’m not using Rowling to say that Angelou isn’t a prolific writer. That would be  stupid. I’m actually an Angelou fan as well. I’m just saying, and you’re obviously comparing the two, that they can both be prolific writers. You don’t have to demean one’s work to make the other look good. Angelou’s kind of got that covered on her own.

And out of the two, Angelou is, of course, more prolific because she’s been writing longer. She’s by no means the most prolific writer in history either, but I’m not comparing Angelou to any other author. I’m comparing an author to their own work. 

JK Rowling is the world’s first billionaire author and 1 of 5 self made female billionaires (yes that list includes Oprah) as if that doesn’t add to her being prolific for being ‘just’ a children’s author.

who is snooki?

@ohletitbe@xanga - I don’t see how you can say J.K Rowling isn’t prolific. You might not like Harry Potter, but that’s kind of ignorant.

@ask_ashleyyy@xanga - Exactly. Except for Snooki it’s “I didn’t know you could write”. Why would someone who doesn’t read write anything? She probably texted the whole book on her iphone or some shit.

i don’t know who or what a snooki is? who is this person you speak of?

For the record I don’t know who Maya Angelou is either. 

@ohletitbe@xanga - I mean, J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter has only been on the news about a million times, especially in the past couple of years. She’s part of pop-culture. The only reason I know Maya Angelou is because of my college Women’s Lit of the 20th Century class… I don’t see Snooki taking something like that haha.

@ask_ashleyyy@xanga - This.

@OstentatiousEloquence@xanga - She has floppy fat girl boobs, meaning that they can probably be pushed together easily. Victoria’s Secret sells a bombshell which makes them look like that, and she probably does the Jersey bra trick.. I think she mentioned that (wear 2-3 bras at once to push them together)

TBH, JK Rowling may be prolific but I don’t prefer her works. Maya Angelou is hyped too. 

@starcrossedloversdivine@xanga - Well I’m in no place to talk as I don’t exactly have boobs that don’t meet that criteria but that explains a lot of girls I see these days who either have impossibly perky boobs, fake boobs, or some trick I haven’t heard of. Bras like that are really not good for your body. I’ve recently converted to wearing just sports bras (some with underwire, as I need it), and while the viewer is not misguided as to how they really look, I don’t really care. Girls do stupid things to themselves to try to look hot. And let me tell u- Snooki is still not hot. She just looks like a leathery whore.

Maya Angelou is f***ing unreadable. Seriously, I dare you to pick up a book of her poetry and not put it down again after two minutes of reading. Plus she would say stupid things like “There’s nothing more pitiful than a young cynic”… and this was AFTER Angelou went to Africa on a tour. So she saw starving and malnourished children, the aftermath of various military raids and genocide… and she then comes back to the US and says that the saddest thing she’s ever seen is rich young white layabouts with nose rings and coffee cups going “whatever.” Ugh. Talk about a stupid mix-up of priorities.

Angelou enjoyed a brief period of fame during the Clinton administration but now she’s last century’s news. Thank goodness.

But JK Rowling? Seriously? Snooki doesn’t know her? Sheesh… Rowling’s richer than the Queen of England (yes, literally!) and maybe- along with JRR Tolkien- one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time. So …. seriously? Seriously? Snooki doesn’t know? How can anyone be that dumb?
