I am really grossed-out by the intense, aggressive, irrational hatred of Zooey Deschanel. By which I don't mean people who just aren't fans for whatever reason or people who have valid criticisms about her manic pixie dream career choices, but the people who have responded to her popularity with a seething backlash of epic proportions that manifests in disproportionate levels of ragey hostility.

NO YOU DON'T WANT TO MURDER HER BECAUSE OF HER BANGS, AND IF YOU DO, YOU ARE A MONSTER!

So I'm having a backlash of my own. The more incidents I see of intense, aggressive, irrational hatred of Zooey Deschanel, the more I like her. That's right! I LIKE ZOOEY DESCHANEL OUT OF SPITE! So there.

We'll probably be best friends soon, so WATCH OUT, WORLD!

Zooey Deschanel, actress and not at all my friend, but definitely a human being who seems all right.
