Would You Be Upset if Someone Called You Sexual Napalm?
Jessica Simpson is all over the media this week, gracefully sticking it to John Mayer. I'm sure you all know why, but, for the sake of clarity (tee hee), let's revisit what he told Playboy magazine:
"That girl (Simpson), for me, is a drug. And drugs aren't good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me... Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm..."
Ummm, ok, the man's a little short on class, but would you really heart-of-hearts be offended if someone said this about you?
Granted, Simpson is acknowledging that this statement was, on some level, a compliment. But she also said that she is angry with Mayer, "no longer the man she knew", and that she wasn't accepting his apology. I'm gonna read between the lines and hope that Simpson, for appearance's sake, is feigning offense. This is, after all, a women who is famous for the stupidest things: first, she was married, then she was fat, now she's a sex machine. (Truth is, she probably should write John Mayer a thank note for shining a spotlight on her just as she's about launch her new VH1 show.)
All kidding aside, if I were her, I'd ... well, I'd actually do the same exact thing (who da thunk it?) I'd act slighted in public, but, secretly, I'd be thrilled. Sexual napalm sounds pretty fierce, if you ask me. I wouldn't mind at all if my ex told everyone he knew that.
How would you feel if someone said something similar about you? Would you be "a little bit angry"? Or a whole lot of excited?

i don't like people who kiss and tell. so yes, i'd be upset... whether it was a good or bad comment.
I'd realize it was coming from John Mayer and laugh.
Like you said, the man isn't known for his class.
I wouldn't be offended at all.
i really just don't like john mayer, he's very into himself.
if my partner told me that and ONLY me, i'd take it as a compliment. but if he put it in a magazine...i'd be FUMING.
It sounds like a compliment to me. But yeah, kissing and telling is generally frowned upon. It's not too big of a deal though.
I would be offended. He is a douche under the guise of a sensitive, nice guy (well, that's how he used to portray himself - I fell in love with him when I was younger after hearing his song "daughters"). If an ex of mine was talking so publicly about our sexual history I'd be pissed.
Business on the street much? I guess deep down I'd take it as a compliment, but I'd still be kinda peeved.
John Mayer is a giant doucher.
I have no idea why he's even the slightest bit popular.
That said, I'd probably take it as a compliment, in both private and public.
Integrity is in short supply these days. I love it.

"I'd act slighted in public, but, secretly, I'd be thrilled." Haha!
All the bad boys (assholes) get girls by acting this way. Works for me provided that I don't piss them off too much. Saying what he said takes guts because it opens him up for humiliation.
@AnonymousBlonde@xanga - He's obviously popular because his music was good.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS SEXUAL NAPALM IS? 'cuz i don't know what the hell it is...
@CrAdLe2daGrAve@xanga - It means your skills in the bedroom as addictive as crack cocaine. If I were called that at any point in my lifetime, I'd laugh my head off and point a little fun at the name.
I honestly don't know what Mayer is talking about. His words don't make sense.
I guess I would be both. Offended that it's being told to the world but excited that someone called me awesome in bed. Like a bomb going off....
He also said this: "Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life? Did you ever say, "I want to quit my life and just fuckin' snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to fuck you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep fucking you."
My response? That's right! Recognize the hotness!!!!!
My ex's better keep their mouths shut.
I already know I'm good.
i don't know if this is true, but i heard that for celebrity, any news is good news, and having no news is like disappearing on the face of earth. can anyone confirm this?
but yeah, i'm not the type that would kiss and tell. we're all humans, we all make mistakes, and because of those mistakes, some of us will change for the better, therefore i tend to give the benefit of the doubt that they're all trying to be better people in the future. whether that is true or not, they have my word. and since i hold this belief, i would expect the same return. though if it doesn't happen, i'll just deal with it. would i be mad, probably, if you think about it, who wouldn't?
Same as you - thrilled behind closed doors, slighted in public
that's a compliment to me in everyway.
Still trying to figure out what sexual Napalm means....Sorry, having a Jessica moment. Must educate self.
I would not be offended.
This is compliment.:D
He makes it sound as if the sex was the only thing going for him in the relationship. Note how he didn't mention anything about her addictive personality and intelligence. Seeing how Jessica Simpson isn't exactly famous for either of those things, his comment is insulting because he's basically making her out to be nothing more than an object that gives him pleasure, not a flesh-and-blood woman with, I don't know, FEELINGS?
Being addicted to anything about anyone in a relationship isn't healthy.
@sarahzthoughts@xanga - it was an interview for playboy. Who wants to read about his true feelings? boooooring, let's hear about the sex.
@Pcgecko85@xanga - Yes I'm aware of that. That still doesn't excuse his comment.
I'd understand that he BUUUURRRRNNNNed during/after. Painful.
@sarahzthoughts@xanga - I must lol at your srs bsnz.
She's just glad that John Mayer made her relevant again.
Being called sexual napalm in context might be cool. Being called crack cocaine is an insult, and more or less saying the only thing a girl has got going for her is sex is something of an insult. I would be mad with him as well.
I'd take that as a major compliment. I can't see how it's out of line - he was being honest. Maybe the world needs more honesty and not so much censorship. C'mon now.
