<p><strong>Updated</strong>: Tina Fey responds below!<br />
Have you been reading all about Taylor Swift telling Amy Poehler and Tina Fey that they are <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/03/05/taylor-swift-bashes-tina-fey-and-amy-poehler-for-golden-globe-jokes-suggests/">going to hell</a> for their Golden Globes jokes in the most recent issue of <em>Vanity Fair</em>? Or wait, was that Katie Couric who told Taylor Swift that, and the singer was just relating it back in an anecdote? Did Amy Poehler say she was <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/amy-poehler-taylor-swift-i-426113#">actually going to hell</a>? Did Couric totally rip off a very famous Madeleine Albright quote about a basketball?</p>
<p>If you are confused, don't worry. Here are some GIFs from <em>Mean Girls</em> to help explain.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Okay, so first of all there is Taylor Swift, who is a person who is not above mocking her ex at Grammys during her opening song, because:<br />
<em id="__mceDel"><a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_mhyah3tjfm1s4xdz1o1_500/" rel="attachment wp-att-289838"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289838" alt="tumblr_mhyah3TJFM1s4xdz1o1_500" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_mhyah3tjfm1s4xdz1o1_500.gif" width="500" height="232" /></a><br />
</em>And she is pissed because during the Golden Globes, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were making some jokes, and one happened to land on her. Technically, Ms. Fey was the one who dug it to the singer about her relationship with Harry Styles, warning her not to go after Michael J. Fox's son.<br />
"Or go for it!" Ms. Poehler said.<br />
"No, she needs some me time, for herself," Ms. Fey countered. Remember, they were pretending to be drunk.<em id="__mceDel"><br />
</em><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/0llm8lTa8xI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span><br />
And then Taylor Swift, who never told Kanye West to go to hell BY THE WAY, was all:<em id="__mceDel"><br />
<a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_inline_mh1qn0ms2g1rxiz6a/" rel="attachment wp-att-289827"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289827" alt="tumblr_inline_mh1qn0MS2G1rxiz6a" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_inline_mh1qn0ms2g1rxiz6a.gif" width="500" height="275" /></a><br />
</em>So she waited until she was on the cover of <em>Vanity Fair</em> this month, so she could say this in a profile (re: the Golden Globes jokes):</p>
<blockquote><p>"You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.'"</p></blockquote>
<p>Because seriously, Amy and Tina, don't even try to mess with the girl who literally wrote a song called "Mean":<br />
<a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_inline_mh1qsw2mdu1rxiz6a/" rel="attachment wp-att-289831"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289831" alt="tumblr_inline_mh1qsw2MDU1rxiz6a" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_inline_mh1qsw2mdu1rxiz6a.gif" width="500" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Unfortunately for Katie Couric, who you just know is feeling like:<br />
<a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_mfq21mbill1qgcln5o6_250/" rel="attachment wp-att-289832"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289832" alt="tumblr_mfq21mbILL1qgcln5o6_250" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_mfq21mbill1qgcln5o6_250.gif" width="250" height="109" /></a></p>
<p>Especially when it was Madeleine Albright who <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/14328-there-is-a-special-place-in-hell-for-women-who">actually said that</a>.</p>
<p>So right out the gate, we're pretty much feeling:<br />
<a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_m6e0yzqopn1rys4czo1_500/" rel="attachment wp-att-289836"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289836" alt="tumblr_m6e0yzqOpN1rys4czo1_500" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_m6e0yzqopn1rys4czo1_500.gif" width="500" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>But luckily, Amy Poehler is a classy lady, and <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2013/03/amy-poehler-responds-to-swift-aw-i-feel-bad.html">responded</a>, "Aw, I feel bad if she was upset. I am a feminist and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff."<br />

<p>Ms. Swift has not yet responded, nor has Tina Fey. But as it stands right now, we have Amy Poehler being all:<br />
<a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_mdpevnvbjg1rf1lwfo1_250/" rel="attachment wp-att-289842"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289842" alt="tumblr_mdpevnvbjG1rf1lwfo1_250" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_mdpevnvbjg1rf1lwfo1_250.gif" width="245" height="197" /></a></p>
<p>While a grown-ass 23-year-old is freaking out in a corner, like:</p>
<p><a href="http://observer.com/2013/03/here-are-some-mean-girls-gifs-to-explain-taylor-swifts-vanity-fair-feud-with-amy-poehler-and-tina-fey/tumblr_mdpuocyex71r6ubhwo1_500/" rel="attachment wp-att-289846"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289846" alt="tumblr_mdpuocyEX71r6ubhwo1_500" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/tumblr_mdpuocyex71r6ubhwo1_500.gif" width="500" height="281" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: On Wednesday, Ms. Fey joined the fracas, telling <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/tina-fey-responds-to-taylor-swifts-comments-in-vanity-fair-it-was-just-a-joke-201363#ixzz2Mn0mTrqh"><em>Us Weekly</em></a> that Swift should just get over it."It was just a joke, and I think it was actually a very benign joke," said the comedian. To <em><a href="http://www.vulture.com/2013/03/tina-fey-on-writing-a-taylor-swift-song.html">New York Magazine</a></em>, she added that the young singer wasn't the only one who could take out her fury in verse:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Me, too, though! Me, too. I could do a song. I could do a whole song about it."</p></blockquote>
<p>Which, as much as we'd like to see, is also kind of defensive response for someone so much older, wiser, and cooler than Taylor Swift. Like, turn the other cheek, Tina Fey! You do not have to drag yourself down to "Dear John" levels! Be more like Poehler, who has <a href="http://www.smartgirlsattheparty.com/">a new social network</a> for girls about self-esteem issues, instead of the woman thinking up satirical songs that rhyme "Swift" with "John Mayer's dick."<br />

Why? Because the customers of Cafe Grumpy aren't going to interview themselves about <em>Girls</em>! (False.)</p>
<p>But in between depressing responses from baristas--"I had a customer come down from Canada, and he visited Grumpy's because he saw the cafe on <em>Girls</em>"-- and obnoxious responses from hipster residents--"We don't think of it as this cool neighborhood...well, it <em>is</em> a cool neighborhood, but we don't think of it as like, this like, <em>entity</em>. It's just Brooklyn"-- there was a moment of pure, undiluted honesty. One man, just one, was brave enough to speak his real feelings about Lena Dunham's program. That man was Charlie Dugan.<br />

Seriously, bless you Mr. Dugan. You have already surpassed most of the Internet in your ability to identify your true feelings about the show, without the pretense of pretending to hate it because it's too popular, or pretending to love it because it's so "brave." We stand by your decision, Mr. Dugan. God bless.</p>
<p>Here's the rest of the video, if you want to see people act like real jerks.<br />

		<title>Party Party Party With Andrew W.K. at 4chan</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/andrew_wk.jpg?w=285&h=300" />Long-haired rocker Andrew W.K. is hosting a party--at 4chan!</p>
<p><img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/11809/original/andrew_wk.gif?1251328108" width="170" height="219" /></p>
<p>Mr. W.K.'s song "Party Hard" was <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/party-hard">memeified at 4chan</a>&nbsp;and other goony websites&nbsp;into a series of animated .gifs like the one above.</p>
<p>On New Year's Eve, Mr. W.K. tweeted: "I love @4chan. PARTY PARTY PARTY! It's New Year's Eve!" with a link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZtwndM5Q3g">a 4channified music video</a> for his song, "Party Party Party."</p>
<p>After seeing the tweet, 4chan's administrators (or maybe just founder Christopher Poole, a.k.a. Moot) contacted Mr. W.K. and invited him to do a live Q&amp;A on the site. <a href="http://andrewwk.com/news/live-qanda-with-andrew-wk-on-4chanorg">The live chat is set for February 13 at 7 p.m</a>.</p>
<p>Already some 4chan haters are groaning about "newfags"--new visitors to the site who aren't versed in its customs and vernacular. But they always do that.</p>
