Ankmet20 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 ah Christine is always so eloquent. I didn't see it as a Joke at first, but I didn't believe it to be real. I still feel like we are being, as she said, the butt of the Joke and I do not. Like that feeling one bit, I got it too much when I was younger. Its not that I care how he met him, I just am...I dunno the right words. but I don't like that they pop out of no=where, basically insult our intellect (maybe just in my opinion) and then we find out there are bits of lies and whatever through-out. but we will see what their next blog holds.

Mika4Life13 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 hmm? where did he say that? it was an example, muffin! I mean like...I understood them, but he and them, made it out to think that we wouldnt have the intellect to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StutzK Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I've been punk'd. I thought it was weird. I'd never thought it was a joke. Did I enter this world too late to understand it? Am I too "fan-naïve"? I was still living the "magic of start being a fan" (you know, that first moment you think everything is beautiful etc.) I was reading the comments through this thread. I guess I should had come here earlier. heh This was an wake-up call. *drama* (ok, not so dramatic, but I am really surprised.) He could at least tell us how much he about us.

JackViolet Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yeah mika and them didn't think we were smart enough to understand them which is underestimating our knowledge ex. " yeah the status quoe is undeterminably high this day." Or somethins smart. "But you wouldn't understand, fans of mine." I don't think anyone would be able to understand that. That makes no sense.

Ankmet20 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 well some things definetly don't add up and I don't really believe they are teachers but...I dunno what to think. Hopefully he will clear this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipop Love Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 well some things definetly don't add up and I don't really believe they are teachers but...I dunno what to think. Hopefully he will clear this up. I don't know what to think anymore, but they don't look like teachers to me too, and if they are really friends of Mika why send comments on his MySpace page? real friends wouldn't send comments from there I think. I just hope that he explained this on a future post because it would be more weird if he don't say anything ... i'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like sleep with students. (I'm not saying they are teachers, just that having a non-professional myspace does not really mean anything--lots of people have them.) And when Mika was just starting out he did use his music page to talk to friends. I don't doubt they're friends of his, it's the other stuff that seems weird. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Whoa! This thread is growing at a rate of 4,503,922.3 posts per day! *Orders new server, sends invoice to Mika via XpressPost* Now. What have I missed? Comments: So people thought Mika was selectively not approving and/or deleting posts, paranoia ensued, conspiracy theories surfaced, people made tinfoil hats - but then we worked out that the comments are just being fed through a spam filter that doesn't like the word "twat"? Is that the gist of it? Guest bloggers: My first interpretation was that they were friends of Mika's having a bit of fun - to me it seemed lighthearted and not at all malicious, not with the intent of making fun of Mika fans. In fact, I thought the whole thing went something like this: *Mika, Justine and Yvonne sitting around his flat drinking appletinis* MIKA: So yeah, I've been blogging my face off these days on my official site. It's brilliant. I get to write about whatever random crap I'm interested in. Yvonne: So cool! That's so not fair. I wish I could write about random crap. Like, I don't know, the search for meaning and the inherent guiding messages present in all Timbaland choruses. Justine *Giggles, chokes on her appletini* Ha, that's an awesome idea! Too bad no one would read it. MIKA: Weeelll, people *do* read my blog...yeah! Why don't you write something? Make it funny and ironic. *drops Macbook in Yvonne's lap* That's so how it all went down in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the verdict is still out on how comments are approved since the more critical ones posted on earlier blogs were deleted. As for appletinis, there probably had to be alcohol involved in that plan. Because pretending to be fans is a stupid idea when there's the MFC FBI.

However even if that went down exactly this way, I don't see how this changes the feeling people got that he was being disrespectful to his fans... In your example "Mika" seems to view his readership as a portable, all-available audience doggedly willing to listen and snap up anything he might throw their way (including totally unrelated things like his friends' meanderings) and unworthy of any consideration in their own right. And posing as traveling fan-documentary people or whatever would only be funny and ironic to them--not his audience which does not know them. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for appletinis, there probably had to be alcohol involved in that plan. Because pretending to be fans is a stupid idea when there's the MFC FBI. Ahh, I see. Well at least that tells us one thing... Mika doesn't like twats. As for the MFC FBI - yeah, come on Mika, that one wasn't even that hard! Give us some credit. Although in their defense, Justine's MySpace *does* say she's a teacher, and she hasn't logged in since June. That said, Mika dug his own grave with the content of that blog. Now random fans worldwide will think they can sneak backstage and will be perfectly able to engage Mika in hours of discussion about how the use of the words "bitches", "peeps" and "bling" in today's music is actually a modern day application of the fundamental points first outlined in Aristotle's study of rhetoric. And not only will Mika eat it up, he'll offer an invite to come hang out with him and post on his blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
