Twitter-Quitter John Mayer Is Still Blogging
Which we don't think he realizes is the same thing as tweeting … but with more characters.
So…yeah!
John Mayer has taken to his micro-blog to discuss a very serious issue: sarcasm. JM is taking issue with the lack of sincerity in mankind right now, and he is hoping his words will inspire more people to be genuine.
"If you want to be truly intimidating, if you want to make an impact, if you want to have a strong connection with others, just be sincere. Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it's not a personality trait. It's a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point… Saying you're a sarcastic person is like saying your favourite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because you never have to take a stance. And that's just the problem; It's so noncommittal. Be yourself, even if that means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere."
Um, John? Are you operating under the assumption that every person who calls themselves sarcastic is being so 100% of the time?
True, we are all for people being true to themselves and being genuine to those in the world around them, but we think you might be missing the beauty of sarcasm. Some people consider it an art form. Some people - some actresses (who shall remain nameless) - a living being funny in movies and television just playing up sarcasm.
But you're right, Johnny. With all the evil that is in the world. With all the war and disease and injustice going on globally, our attention really should be focused on people who are just too damn sarcastic.
Also, sense the tone in that last sentence. Can you guess what we were going for?

Probably one of the smartest things I have ever heard from Mr. Mayer.. I am not a fan of his music, because, well because I have amazing taste, but it's well written and true. Sarcasm at its best is still a smoke screen.. Honesty please!
Mayer needs to lighten up. And since when is being sarcastic the same as being dishonest or being noncommittal? If I'm shopping and see an ugly shirt and sarcastically say 'Now THAT's the shirt I should get!' I'm humorously saying that I think that shirt is ugly and not worth buying. It would be dishonest if I seriously said I liked the shirt–therefore the sarcasm is actually the thing that keeps me from being dishonest. Also, I'm not being noncommittal, the point that I don't like the shirt has clearly been expressed. Mayer apparently hasn't realized that philosophical breakthroughs you make while high rarely seem all that great when you're not.
Perez Hilton is a bully and has not changed at all. You are complicit in kids bullying other kids. The End.
Lol that is actually funny, Perez or whoever you are. However, I tend to agree with him. Over use of sarcasm I think really shows a cynicism, even mean-spirited, that is actually harmful, and the attitude is catching on. Maybe some won't agree with what I'm saying…but I do get what he is saying here. A little more kindness and patience in the world would definitely be a good thing.
Re: supersoup – True, I don't get what he means really about non-committal. The type of sarcasm you described I don't think can do any harm at all. However, there is a type of sarcasm that is used far too much by some people that is really awful sometimes I think. Maybe it's more cynicism. Hmm maybe I'm not thinking along the lines he is though…come to think of it I don't fully understand his argument, haha.
Well I, for one, agree with Mr. Mayer. After all, everybody knows that sarcasm is the refuge of the spiritually bankrupt. I just wish he'd stop trying so hard to convince us all that he's earnest. It's not like he's running for office or anything. Or is he?
John is brilliand ,such a compelling guy and very good looking.I like him a lot .I think he should write a book also.
Re: ceeeee – The thing is that kindness and honesty, etc, are not opposite of sarcasm. You can be a truly mean and deceitful person and not be sarcastic. Sarcasm has nothing to do with it. Should we say all hipsters are dishonest and 'spiritually bankrupt' because they use irony as a large part of their lives? If anything, as a fairly sarcastic person, I find the idea that I'm somehow a worse person than those who aren't sarcastic to be fairly hurtful and ignorant.

Another sparkling example of Perez turning over a new leaf. *sarcasm mode off *
I guess Mayer is still in the "we shall bully category." I think a well illustrated point is that it is difficult to apply rules to all walks of life–sarcasm or picking on someone, which is eloquently demonstrated by PH. I will believe the world will be capable of stopping bullying when I see folks with the power to influence acting with a little more empathy toward others (and one another) and with this post I shut my judgment off so I do not join the party.
AND he's doing book reviews! He just reviewed "The Marriage Plot." Marriage must be on his mind! It's up on an online magazine called Electric Literature. What the what!
