To say Jamie lacks an editor is an understatement. He has no problem calling girls skeezers, breasts titties, or transgender guys she-men. He doesn't do it to be offensive; he just can't be bothered with political correctness. What he sees, he says, and if you can get past the teen-boy obnoxiousness, he's actually pretty good at describing people. And hey, when you're hitchhiking and sleeping in sketchy trucker motels, you're probably going to bump into some interesting looking characters. Jamie's just calling it like he sees it in Punkzilla.
Questions About Appearances
- Does Jamie call women skeezers (including calling Scarlett Johansson a "Hollywood skeezer") because he disrespects them, or is he just repeating slang?
- Why doesn't Lewis kick Jamie out of his room when Jamie consistently uses offensive language to describe Lewis's body? What does Jamie do and say that lets Lewis know his heart's in the right place?
- Do you have to look a certain way to be punk? Why do people think they have to change their appearance to reflect the music they like?
Chew on This
Jamie's offensive and politically incorrect because he hasn't been taught not to be. After all, the Major is his dad.
Jamie thinks being crass about other people makes him punk, but really it just keeps them at arm's length.
