He said, amongst other things, "Men look at women. Women watch themselves being look at". "You paint (photograph sic) a naked woman because you enjoy looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you call the painting "Vanity", thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for your own pleasure". "The camera relieves us of the burden of memory" - Thank Crunch ! Berger was not a hypocrite. He was was born London 1926 and died 2017 aged 90 years. He was married 4 times. He was awarded the Booker Prize in 1972 for his novel " G " , about the adventurous romantic tales of a roguish hero. I use to read that type of stuff when I was an earnest youth and before I discovered Paul Raymond magazines, and later this site ! [Link] |

The Wendy's worker on the phone says, "Dude, this is a Wendy's restaurant." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONn7lNA89wU I'm not overly familiar with how this phrase is used and interpreted, but one source says this: It's a way of telling someone that they are being irrelevant, rude, or even outrageous. Or telling someone to keep their private life to themselves. It implies that they're making a scene, and acting strangely. It's often used as a response to a rant on social media, or to someone going off on a tangent during a conversation. In that context, I can see why verdical used it here. |
