In her blog she says And by the way guys, the toilet paper thing...it was a JOKE!! . So we are meant not to take is seriously! Now that I FINALLY read the original comments in context, it's obvious that she was being tongue in cheek. It's amazing how much we allow the media to take things, write them up and reason for us. (though admittedly it WAS a stupid joke, she should stick to singing).

Stupid Joke? I think that is a great joke considering how many people got fooled. She would be laughing if she sees that we have a dedicated thread for this Well, the outcome *IS* funny -- sort of. Only I don't think she intended it to be funny in that manner. I don't think she is laughing about the media misrepresentation of this "joke" (to be honest, out of context and without tagline about washing out the square I didn't know it was a joke at first either. I thought, "damn, I never knew she was such an doofus" *shrugs*). But that is just the way the media is now. Context is routinely discarded if it will make a better story or radio talker.

What was the context?
Whatever the case it was certainly cheeky of her to make us the butt of her "joke." Really did anyone laugh his or her arse off? Does anyone give a sh*t? If it was a joke it belongs in the crapper. Well, you can read it here. Most of the blog entry is in a joking manner if you read through it . Stuff like "how bout just washing the one square out.". "Use one square" is just a set up line. "Wash it out" is the punchline. Not the funniest joke ever, but it's structured as a joke in its original context. And then read on about "I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product." and telling people not to steal her idea (if she really had a great idea, would she share it to everyone?). It is all obviously an attempt to be witty.

I'm supposed to trust Sheryl Crow's blog over the BBC? What does the BBC know, don't all those furrners over there use bidets anyway? Toilet paper conservation isn't a big deal. (joking, don't slam me british, I know)

People who take this seriously amuse me. So because it's completely ridiculous means we shouldn't treat it as so? Spending any time more than two minutes on this statement is too much.
