No need to critisize other people for your own insecurities. This is completely ridiculous, you people wouldn't know talent and innovation if it was f***ing you up the ass. Forgive my anger but goddamn, at least SOMEONE is trying to make the world a better place.

Still, you could appreciate the finer art of comedy.
Everyone thinks us Americans are funny with our dirty "Three hookers walk into a bar..." jokes, the truth is, most people find that repulsive, whereas British comedians, whilst having jokes like that as well, put a different spin on it.
They find funniness in everyday things, I guess it comes from living on a tiny island.

AL U MOTHER FUKERS NEED TO CHILL, i WILL NOT SPEEK FOR OTEP, but in my opinion she probably dosent give a fuk what u think, all U are doing is fueling her rAGE and as far as i see it, the wurld is seperated into two sections enemies and allies; enemies being the wons who like OTEP and me, and if u cant figure what an ally is, go fuk yourself xx

I wrote Otep once in e-mail because I was in love with her, and what did that get me.
Nothing!
f*** Otep.
If she can't answer one marriage proposal from a 14 year old, then what kind of musician is she really?
Taking her musical talent for what it's worth, she should've had time to answer me.
b****.

Otep's no damn poet! She's just some overly-praised dike with an ENORMOUS ego, who thinks she scares people with her stupid poems and childish artwork. I'm a better poet than that stupid c*** will ever be, (or even dream of being) and I've been writing for only three years! And besides, most of the neanderthals on the Def Poetry Jam stage are just rappers and criminals anyway. Also, the only reason her fans like her is because her stupid band sounds like Korn, Slitcock, and every other sh**ty jump-core band that's played Ozzfest in the past few years; nobody's reading her damn lyrics except critics!

please people there is no need to critisize anyone especially if its OTEP she is the only artist that speaks truth (in my opinion) a lot of her matirial actually comes stright from her personal diaries a lot has to do with her past and she uses her art and music to purg it ...i think it takes a pretty powerful pearson to do that what she sings about politics ect. thats her opinions and beleive it or not a lot of people would agree with her on most points (i do) so just because you don't agree with things she does or says do not critisize or wish death upon her also she is a very bussy peorson like most artist so don't be p***ed because she does not return an e-mail especially if you are 14 and proposing yeah shes hot but her music is real and that is what you should be in love with if you have never really listened to her words i encourage you to they are pretty powerful some might even bring tears to your eyes and alot of you might even be able to relate to some of what she says the "house of secrets" is really emotional......do not critisize her for expressing herself ... how would you feel if someone said some of the things people have said about her ..about you after you put your heart and soul into your work? think about it before you say anything mean about anyone!
