Scarlett Johansson: Prettier Than Richard Dawkins, and a Better Singer Too

Jump to Comments

The atheists I run into the most online seem to think that they’re the bravest little toasters in the world for standing up and saying “I’m an atheist and you are all a bunch of big stupidheads and STOP OPPRESSING ME with your dirty Pledge of Allegiance you big mean bastards!”

Well, they don’t know what real bravery is. You want to know what real bravery is? Watch this:

Scarlett Johansson’s new album is GREAT! All you HATERS can SUCK IT! I’ll say it loud and I’ll say it proud: I actually really love it.

Granted, that’s less a function of her voice than of the songs (she covers Tom Waits) and the producer (some guy from TV on the Radio), but who cares. The album’s got a great doomy-goth-shoegaze-meets-Portishead-meets-Jesus and Mary Chain-meets-Arcade Fire sort of sound on it, all distortion and reverb, and Scar Jo sounds like a sleepier version of Anja Huwe from Xmal Deutschland mixed with Sinead O’Connor.  And I mean that in a good way!

Also, Scarlett is way prettier than Richard Dawkins, and I bet he can’t sing as well either.

The picture below shows what Scarlett does every time I get within 50 yards of her:
