Framed

Paramore, Framed

Good Lord, is it a new week already? Time for another Framed? When will this madness stop? When will it stop??

(Splashes cold water on face.)

Ahem.

Well, hi there, readers; glad you could drop by. We're sure you'll enjoy this week's video, "The Only Exception," by Paramore. We had Paramore in Framed about a year ago, and, as we recall, everyone liked it. So why not do it again? 

This week's vid centers around the waifish Hayley Williams, Paramore's vocalist/front woman, as she stumbles out of and then back into love. In doing so, she goes through various doors, which--we believe--are meant to remind we, the viewers, of the properties of doors. 

The doors of perception. This door swings both ways. Doris Day. And so on.

Holy bleep, we're cracking up. Well, it was gonna happen sooner or later. Post your thoughts and we'll be back here again next week.

Or will we?

Important blog note! Even though we're unraveling, we want to recognize a fine alt-caption by respected reader Dude last week. Ours was pretty good, but we wish we would've thought of this one.

The entire team started the post game festivities with imaginary women....

 

1 -- "Wow. In this version, Jesus totally kicks Roman ass!"

 

2 -- "Dear diary: Will I ever get to meet Avril Lavigne?? She's the best!!"

 

3 -- "What witchcraft be this?"

 

4 --  "Then I started this emo band, and it's been quite the cash cow!"

 

5 -- "Little dots on the neck of my guitar? What the hell?"

 

6 -- "And I'll have the endangered giant, golden tigerfish caught off the coast of the province of Guangdong in southern China. And fries."

 

7 -- "Well, time to worship God again, because, if there's one thing the Creator of Everything likes, it's the servile attitude of a whipped cur."

 

8 -- "Why, that ant appears to want to move that rubber tree plant! His hopes must be absurdly high! Apple pie, even!"

 

9 -- Paramore won't stand for lousy music.

 

10 -- We still fear you, Inhalo!

 

11 -- Only one would win the internship at Framed!

 

12 -- "Wow! You think popular music is a fraudulent hoax and I think popular music is a fraudulent hoax! What are the odds?"

    By Todd Cunningham LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "Iron Man 3" was soaring past $1 billion at the worldwide box office Thursday, in a display of world domination that would make one of Marvel's super villains proud. The box-office bounty - roughly $700 million from abroad and $300 million domestically - is a major triumph for Disney, which bet big on comic book superheroes when it bought Marvel Studios for $4 billion in 2009. And its decision to bring aboard a Chinese partner for "Iron Man 3" and focus the Disney marketing machine on the booming foreign market looks pretty good right now, too. ...
