LOL, And This is just as weird looking, ha ha ha ha ha 

Is that Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez?

What in the world?????

Is this what the new lib millinials view as a cowboy.

ha ha ha ha ha,,, now thats funny right there, ha ha ha ha ha

Gross.. sorry I'm a bigot. 

Liberace wore that well - this is just . . wrong.

Who is that?       

An old boyfriend that turned? 

So we're now posting pics of people we don't know so we can mock their appearance. Sweet! 

Don’t remember the name but that’s the lord of the rings actor who was the head elf.  No , not Orlando bloom , he was not the head dude. 

well its wierd looking and it was on some award show he posed for picture  shees

His name is Jordan Roth and that photo was taken at the Tony's. He's an incredibly successful play and musical producer.

The guy does like red.        

Look, I don’t care who he is.  It’s plainly obvious to me that he, and people like him, go to great lengths to look as outrageous and outlandish as possible.  They do this for reasons clearly illustrated by the comments on this thread, namely, to attract attention.  I don’t feel sorry for him.  He’s getting what he craves.....attention. This is nothing new.  Tiny Tim did it.  Liberace did it. Boy George did it. Alice Cooper did it.  Izzy Osborn did it. Even Lady GaGa does it.

I don’t feel sorry for them.  We are the fools, not them. Apart from their freakish appearance, they all have/had one thing in common......wealth.  Obscene wealth.  The joke isn’t on them.....it’s on us.

LOL, I'm pretty sure that they want this attention, thats why they dress all weird so they can get this type of responce, they dress weird soooo BINGO people will notice!!!, ha ha ha ha ha.. And it works Ha ha ha ha...The weirder the looks the more attention you will bring onto oneself..

Attention is attention, whether it be negative or positive... 

I wonder how much he has contributed to Liberal causes and the Democratic Party?

I agree with you 100%!! Really immature, there is enough bullying in the world, no need to add to it. 

I don't think that word means what you think it means. 

I'm starting to be offended mightily by people thinking 'You look weird," and other totally non-emotive sentiments is bullying. It may not be the nicest thing to say, but it's not like anyone is flaming this dude and his outfit. I've seen worse, but this is still over the top and a bit weird. 

I doubt you would like it if someone posted your picture for everyone to critique? Suicide is a REAL thing. And just because you might not think certain words spoken are a big deal, could be a suidice trigger in someone else. Food for thought. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. 

Lorie is one of the nicest ladys on this board, she did not say anything wrong and nobody did any bullying. "Food for thought" gos both ways. Now you can start your fussing  

Not to be ugly, but if he didn't want his picture "out there" and to be talked about, I assure you he wouldn't have gone out dressed like that.  

Yep, if you're going to put yourself out there like that, you're going to need thicker skin, let's be real here, that's not an everyday outfit, I think it's weird, and quite frankly, stupid. but whatever... do as you please but dont expect EVERYONE to embrace you or your style. 

Girlfriend you should run for office, that's the slogan we need in today's world:  Just do you but don't expect everyone to embrace it.   

Food for thought, When you do crazy things are weird things you will get the attention that you are looking for.. I bet no suicide thoughts going threw his head, betting he likes the attention.. 

So you are saying this guy is unaware that he’s wearing an outrageous, hideous outfit?  You don’t think he’s completely aware of the attention he will attract?  Really?  Go back and re-read my earlier post.  Think about it this time.  Yes, people do things like this for attention, and they laugh all the way to the bank.  If you feel sorry for him and think he’s going to jump off a bridge over all the attention, you are mistaken.  He knows what he’s doing.  I bet he laughs his ass off.

Mister Sister.

Do you feel sorry for these folks?  Don’t. Every one is worth at least $100,000,000.  They’ve all been “bullied”.....all the way to the bank.

Hhhbbgb

And these are the tame ones, lol

Remember when Dennis Rodman dressed up as a bride? Lol!! I couldn't find a picture.

Me, I just think it is awful that he didn't have his roots done.  

"He" is dressing like that to get attention. Guess what?  He's getting that attention. Giving someone what they want isn't bullying.  "He" probably will never know that pic was ever posted on here. To bully someone they have to know you're doing it.  So stop with the buzz word guilt trips.  They don't work on conservatives.

Furthermore, I doubt "he" cares what we think. We are nobodies. So there's that....

He sure is a strange/weird fella that is worth millons and has not jumped off a bridge.. 

Yikes!!! Shock value lol! 

Its so strange to think that Dennis was once a San Antoino Spur

I bet it was a hoot to be around him since you didnt know how he was going to dress from day to day, lol.

Wasnt he married or engaged to Paula Abdul for a minute? Or was it madonna lol! I cant remember.  

Yup. My stud horse's name is Famous and Shameless but his barn name is Rodman. This is why. It's darn sure memorable.

ha ha ha ha ha... so cool

Carmen Electra I think was married to him for a while..

Oh yeah that's right. Carmen electra!

I don't feel sorry for him either, and agree 100% that this was done for attention. He knew exactly what he was doing when he put together this outfit. My problem is the mean spirited nature of posting a pic KNOWING the response it's going to get, and people openly bragging about being bigoted toward people who are different from them. It's the hypocrisy of "I'm a God fearing Christian who does everything by the bible, but if you aren't just like me and do something I don't agree with, I'm going to judge and discriminate against you". I don't think Jesus would approve of that, lol.

And before anyone blasts me with accusations of being a liberal, I vote Republican like the majority of you

Is this guy's style my taste? Definitely not...I prefer my men rugged and manly, lol. But kudos to him for having the confidence to rock a crazy outfit when most people are too scared to be themselves out of fear of what people are going to think of them.

To me this is no different of that video that you posted of the man riding his horse that you didnt like his way of riding/training.. 

Some of these people who dress weird get really upset if you just ignore them. They WANT to shock you so they can bash YOU for being a hater/bigot. 

I had a kitten one time that was FEARLESS and just nutso (but I loved him!).   His name was Dennis Rodcat. . . . 

mic drop?

The more attention they get the more money they make

So to you, me posting a video asking why someone is riding a particular way is equivalent to posting a photo of someone for the sole purpose of making fun of him? How is that even remotely the same?

ETA: this is the post you're referring to, I'd love for you to point out where I'm making fun of him http://forums.barrelhorseworld.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=484746&start=1

Lol, not even close to the same thing, but nice try

We are giving people like this precisely what they want....attention and wealth.  I think characterizing people’s comments on these intentionally outrageous costumes as “bigoted” is a stretch, wouldn’t you say? They want to garner the most attention on freak show central.  Lady Gaga wearing a dress made of tenderloins was not a religious or ethnic costume. Saying we are “bigots” for making fun of deliberately freakish costumes is an unfair mischaracterization of our intent. 

This doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus or bigotry. Jesus gave us free will.  These people are honing their craft and promoting themselves for personal gain....exercising free will.  We get a few laughs....they get the attention......everyone is happy.  Nobody is harmed.  Jesus is smiling.  

Well except someone literally admitted they are a bigot. So no, not a stretch when it's clearly written out

You may truly believe that no one is harmed by these "innocent" comments, but you have no clue who is reading them.

I’m guessing she was being facetious, but why don’t you ask her?  Nonetheless, there’s nothing bigoted about poking fun at someone’s deliberate attempt at garnering attention and being outrageous.  This isn’t about someone’s race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.  No....nobody was harmed by these comments.....except you.  

Lol, I'm truly not harmed, offendend, or butt-hurt by anything that's been said, either about the original post, or about me. I also don't care that Roxy thought she'd start sh!t by bumping an old post I made that is not even remotely related to this one.

I get what you're saying and agree with the majority of it. 

My bad for thinking I could defend people who are too afraid to speak up for themselves. 

Carry on

Give it up ....... he dressed FOR REACTIONS .......this is from the article that YOU posted .....

"And Roth, being a Broadway producer, knows how to get theatrical: he turned a video of him in the outfit into GIFs he then posted to Instagram.

Bold? Sure. But not exactly new for Roth, who’s made a habit of rocking men’s couture—that is, extravagant custom-made clothing typically worn by women but not so much by guys—on red carpets. But the homemade GIFs weren’t just about letting fans share a really great outfit. The real hope was to spread the message behind the rose-inspired look, synced up with the one behind Hadestown"

So let me get this straight.  You think these people are “afraid” to speak up and defend themselves.  Really?  What makes you think these people are so afraid?  Are you really that naive?  

I stand corrected.  They aren’t the ones looking for attention.  You are.

Holy geeze, you are totally not getting what I'm saying. I'm obviously doing a terrible job trying to convey what I'm thinking. I'm talking more big picture. No, this guy and the celebs like him don't need ANY defending by little peons like me. I get it, everyone is making fun of this specific person in the photo. They think it's all in good fun. What they are not taking into consideration is how regular people who struggle with their own identity see negative comments like these, and it makes them feel even worse about themselves. They just want to put on sparkly clothes and be happy because it's not hurting a single soul to do so. But they don't, because they don't want to be ridiculed. No, THESE comments on THIS thread are not directed towards anyone other than the dude in red in the photo. But that doesn't mean others won't apply those comments to themselves, even if that was not the intention.

Is it a stretch to apply that thinking to this "light-hearted" post? I don't know, maybe. My point is that you can't tease one single person and assume that not a single other human being is affected by those comments, even if you didn't want them to be.

The guy in red has no problem sticking up for himself or he wouldn’t have chosen such a provocative outfit. And by provocative, I mean he was TRYING to get reactions from people. If he were afraid to stick up for himself, he would not have chosen that type of outfit. 

YOU just don't get it ...... YOU have done the same thing by posting another person's video and illiciting responses (good, bad or ugly) about HIS actions..... ONLY yours is a worse scenario....why? because the guy in the red outfit will NEVER read any of the responses on this page and IF he did, he would not be offended because he is a celebrity ..... On the other hand, the man (that YOU posted HIS video) could, very likely, ACTUALLY read the responses on this forum (of thousands of members). He could be that "regular" person trying to sell a horse ..... You could have just as easily asked the "question" of why a person would continually bump the bit ....without the video......

Thank you Norma this is what I have been trying to say all along, you have such a great way of getting to the point, but I am sure that Gunner11 cant see this, but really I think she does, I think shes smarter then what shes showing.

dang folks  why did this get everyone in an uproar shee the dude is dressed funny next time i will get 1 of the chicks have no idea who it is nor do i care

but this picture was taken by a photographer at some award show so fair game.  its not like i snuck up on him

shee  and who ever call me mean spirted  oh hell no  again he posed for it and it weird

i am mean spirted when it comes to illegals chick haveing litters of kids by 10 different dad yep i am  but backto this dang picture

shees get a thicker skin

Uffda.  Nice segue though.  

Roxy, I REALLY like you. Seriously, I think you're one of the sweetest ladies here. Norma is super opinionated, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, lol. Bear is one of the smartest guys here and I love reading his responses and insight. I just honestly believe that in this instance, people are twisting this into what they want. I posted a PUBLIC video (I got it off YouTube, which is the most popular, public video sharing site that I personally know of) on a completely unrelated thread, asking for insight from competent horse people. I never encouraged or implied that anyone should say anything negative in my thread. THIS thread has a public photo of a celebrity, but the very title of this thread has a negative vibe, so it's expected that the responses are going to be along the same lines. THAT is the difference. I posted with the intent of gaining knowledge, the author of this thread posted with the intent of having a good old time making fun of someone else. This isn't about the guy in the red outfit, or the rider in the video, it's about the INTENT of why it was posted here, in this forum, in the first place.

That's all I've gotta say about that because now we're just, lol.

@ Gunner11: In addition to making a poor wardrobe choice, the gentle is probably suffering from a self-inflicted womb.

You have done killed that horse a LONG time ago ..... LOL

gunner

question  then i amm done  how in the world do you figure i had a mean intent by saying weird  please explain as i am at loss

men in dress are weird looking  the gal in the aiport with a shaved head and those rubber tip darts all over her head was wierd

me and everyone else was gwaking

and it was a public photo he posed i am done with it

ublic photo of a celebrity, but the very title of this thread has a negative vibe, so it's expected that the responses are going to be along the same lines. THAT is the difference.

I think the matching red culch and boots just made the whole outfit work. Thou the lace was a bit much.

I missed the boat... I've been called a bigot because my opinion is different and I didnt agree with someone about certain issues. .. I was just being a smart alec. You wanna dress like that, like I said, you go right ahead, but you had better have the ability to handle some not so positive feedback bub... I miss the old days...

All the ones that know you KNOW you were just being a smart alec, your just too nice and have a good heart to be a bigot, we know better . Some people just like being a smart A** and try to make others feel bad while they are the ones being the you know what..

I'm just thankful there isn't anyone taking pictures of my in some of my morning chore outfits. 

LOL! Isn't that the truth! My husband wants me to market 'Farm Sexy' for what us horse women REALLY look like!!

Ha ha ha ha,,I think you'ur safe as long as you dont go into Wal-Mart or any other public places..

Thats a good picture of you Scott, I like that bright shirt, I bet it brings out the color of your eyes, lol

I think his eyes are pink, are they not?    

I cant quite tell, his darn cap is casting to much of a shadow, ha ha ha ha

Go ahead and make fun of me because of my shirt.  I happen to think it’s pretty and it serves to neutralize my toxic masculinity.  My dog loves me no matter how eccentric I appear.  

All 7 of them!!!!   Just kidding Mr Scott! (Colors, not eyes. . . )
