Everyone has a few things that they are embarrassed about liking. We may even be "closeted", making fun of it in front of others, but really enjoying it at heart.

For instance: It is no secret among my friends that I hate dumb humor: fart jokes, puns, etc. But for some reason I love shows like Jackass, which features guys making fools and/or hurting themselves.

What about you guys?

BTW: I still hate Bam Margera though...

I like to walk around naked, but I dont tell anyone about it.

Also, I enjoy reading manga, something I really dont tell anyone about it.

If I had to choose between revealing one thing or another, I would rather say I´m a hidden nudist.

Adam Sandler's comedy, Tollbooth Willy in particular. Ass jokes. Actually, entire conversations about ass.

Wait...we're supposed to feel guilty?

D.I.S.C.O.

She is D delirious
She is I incredible
She is S superficial
She is C complicated
She is O oh, oh, oh

I watched a few episodes of Dawson's Creek while it was on. I even liked it a little.

Oh, I have to add "The L-word."

Those bitches are hot.

"Guilty" is a subjective term.

apart from porn and masturbation, :confused:

I would have to say watching star trek, I’m a huge fan but none of my friends know, after I watch it, I feel dirty but sated, star trek that is.

Ummmmm... Well... Looks like it won't do any bad when I tell you... I enjoy anime-style child porn drawings (it's called "lolicon hentai" by fans)... I know drawings are nothing to be ashamed of but I still am kinda embarassed when it comes to admitting it to others :D

Star Trek and manga just rulez!! :cool: There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

... I like porn.

I read Romance novels...

and I collect toys.

Oh, I have to add "The L-word."

I LOVE the L-word!

TMFI.

Some things you SHOULD keep to yourself.

I LOVE the L-word!

Me, too! Shane = sex.

I LOVE the L-word!

What exactly is the L-word? And why are you being so damn cryptic? :confused:

Everyone has a few things that they are embarrassed about liking.

Not I.

TMFI.

Some things you SHOULD keep to yourself.

I don't see why :confused: There's nothing bad about it and as I understand, this thread IS about giving out useless information, so why the TMFI? :)

Yea. Thats something you might want to keep to yourself...

For me? Star Trek and Disco. Awesome things. But I don't go around praising them.

Also, I've listened to MMMBop more than once. On purpose. Don't judge me.

i like some of girls aloud's music and i like christina aguilera's last album.

The L-word (http://www.thelwordonline.com/).

Google is your friend. You managed to use it to find faux kiddie porn.

I don't see why :confused: There's nothing bad about it and as I understand, this thread IS about giving out useless information, so why the TMFI? :)

Many people will disagree with you about there being nothing bad about it.

They'll support your right to view drawn kiddie porn...

But not in the desire to view said kiddie porn.

choclate

Spanish-language soap operas.

They are just the best.

Not I.Oh no?

Everyone has a few things that they are embarrassed about liking. We may even be "closeted", making fun of it in front of others, but really enjoying it at heart.As usual, we're all confusing guilt and shame again.

A guilty pleasure, by definition, is something that you enjoy and in which you indulge even though you know (or believe) that it is bad for you.

A "shameful" pleasure would be, on the contrary, something that you enjoy and in which you indulge, but for which you feel ashamed--shame likely to be manifested in a reluctance to admit to your indulgence.

The two are not mutually exclusive, since one may feel ashamed of indulging in pleasures that one also believes are bad or have harmful effects.

However, it is possible to feel ashamed for partaking in something that we do not believe actually hurts us. For example, people have mentioned enjoying this or that television show without admitting it to their friends. Well, such shows may be considered shameful in certain social circles, but unless you believe either that a) watching such shows actually makes you dumber; or b) such shows can only be enjoyed at the expense of certain "higher" pleasures; it is not necessarily true that these are "guilty" pleasures, in the proper sense of the term.

Likewise it is possible to feel guilty about a pleasure--e.g. rich chocolate ice cream, if you are counting calories--without necessarily feeling ashamed about your choice.

I watch a reality show *hides*

I really like a few movies that if anyone knew I liked them, I might die..... I think my husband suspects....(Harold and Kumar go to white castle, Dodgeball, Dude Where's my car?)

there is one other thing, but I am pretty sure it's not normal, so I won't share.

So you want us to beg, hmmm?

I'm not falling for that.

Begs.

*snip*
I noticed you didn't answer either question.

The O.C.

me too, before some one informed me that taylor hanson Was A DUDE!!!!

Begs.

I will TG you, because I doubt you will judge me.

*TG's you*

I noticed you didn't answer either question.Guilty pleasure: smoking pot. Certainly not the worst drug in the world, but there's always something more productive I could be doing with that time.

Shameful pleasure: hmm, hard to say. I'm rather well known for my utter lack of shame.

Acting like an arrogant asshole for no good reason.

I am neither ashamed nor guilty of most of my other pleasures.

Shameful pleasure: hmm, hard to say. I'm rather well known for my utter lack of shame.

Ditto. That's why I think everything must simply be guilty.

I like watching the Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom.

...oh FINE!

And Jimmy Neutron...

There, are you happy? My secrets are out.

Oh pshaw. Jimmy Neutron annoys me, but I love the Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom. And Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends and Ruby Gloom, and other assorted kids shows...since they are all my horrible nazi children let me watch. Oh, and Futurama. Nothing better than hearing your 4 year old say, 'Bite my shiny metal ass'.:D

Yes, well, you have the excuse of being a parent, Sinuhue. I don't.

And Futurama is meant for older viewers anyway. I'm not sure I'd let a four year old watch it, mainly because I'm sure they wouldn't understand much of it and they still imitate everything they see too much at that age. (I know because I've a little brother that's seven years younger than I am. Sure, he's almost thirteen now, but I still remember what he was like at four.)

Hey you don't know the worst of it...my brothers have concocted this elaborate scheme including photoshopping baby pictures to make my girls think that Bender is their uncle. And they've bought it, hook, line and sinker. "Is uncle Bender in Hollywood mom? I miss him!"

MUAHAHAHAAHHA....the therapy they're going to need...

I think, comrade, you are reading too much into this...

I think, comrade, you are reading too mich into this...

I hate Mich. He's such a bastard.

Aren't you the one who likes to type naked?

Your glee in your daughters' confusion and possible therapy needs makes me oh so slightly worried about your parenting skills.

But the fact that you're obviously joking(about your glee) makes me not worry one bit.

I hate Mich. He's such a bastard.

I shouldn't have laughed at that... but I did. :)

Um. Joking. Riiiiight. *shifty eyes*

Yeah, that's how I've been feeling all night.

Time to whip out some Tollbooth Willy.

hehehehehee....punny.

if I grovel, can I know too?

shamelessly grovels

This has piqued my curiosity! I'd love to know too!

Please?! *cute puppy dog eyes*

it's highly disturbing........to me at least.

It's one of those things, that's like "is this normal, and it's just not talked about........or should I not tell because it's so abnormal I will get locked up?"

it's highly disturbing........to me at least.

It's one of those things, that's like "is this normal, and it's just not talked about........or should I not tell because it's so abnormal I will get locked up?" Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. I have a friend who does that too.

I have no guilty pleasures. I do not feel guilt about things that I would be foolish and weak to feel guilty about.

I smoke.

Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. I have a friend who does that too.
I am pretty sure you don't.

Neesika claims it's probably normal, but I got the feeling she thinks I take it to an unhealthy extreme. She did mention that she wouldn't do it......which is kinda terrifying because she is Neesika. :p

so you have one?;)

The O.C.

that, RP-ing, Anime, and some kinda girly songs.

other than that my closet is skeleton free.

I go commando when I'm at home.

Guess where I am right now? :p

The L-word (http://www.thelwordonline.com/).

Oh... I'm sorry about that... I thought that the L-word is an actual word...

I went commando at church before, the comfort didn't outweigh the guilt though:(

But not in the desire to view said kiddie porn.

I can't imagine what's bad about desires :rolleyes:

:eek:

I went commando at church before, the comfort didn't outweigh the guilt though:(

I'm sorry, but I have to ask... Why would you feel guilty about that?

If it gives me pleasure, I see no need to feel guilty about it.

I'm sure the pews had fun that day! :p

I am pretty sure you don't.

Neesika claims it's probably normal, but I got the feeling she thinks I take it to an unhealthy extreme. She did mention that she wouldn't do it......which is kinda terrifying because she is Neesika. :p I was actually just playing games - but now you've really scared me. Sounds like you're into torturing hillbillies or something.

so you have one?;) I said I have… none.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask... Why would you feel guilty about that?

I have been indoctrinated in my puritan society that good girls don't go to church without underwear...which is interesting to me because when I was a kid I had days of the week underwear and there were only 6 pair, Monday-Saturday......I always wondered "what should I do about Sunday?":p

it doesn't directly hurt anyone.......it's arguable even that it indirectly hurts anyone.

Sunday is when you wear you hole-y underwear. :p

Sunday is when you wear you hole-y underwear. :p

well, they have to have holes, I mean otherwise how would I get my legs in?

guilty pleasures: na, won't tell you. Too dark and dirty (It's glad I am that it's only in my mind. Couldn't live with that)

shamefull pleasures: you guessed it. I like to make hints without really telling anything. It's how my mind works. Like a compulsion.

There is nothing wrong about going to church commando. I mean, why do you think priests use such big robes? They are wearing nothing under it.

Hmm...should that be counted as a guilty or a shameful pleasure?

me too, before some one informed me that taylor hanson Was A DUDE!!!!

Holy Crap.

Wow. I didn't actually know that until now. I always just sort of assumed it was a girl band, since... they sung MMMBop.

Hmm...should that be counted as a guilty or a shameful pleasure?

A holy pleasure.

Emo/pop punk music is frequently maligned but hell, that shite is catchy.

A holy pleasure.

As long as there are no acolytes involved (and as long as you don't mean another of those hole-y [see above] pleasures) I'm fine with that definition.

Of course that leaves the question: What do monks and nuns wear under their robes?

Emo/pop punk music is frequently maligned but hell, that shite is catchy.

yeah, I can't stand emos but some of their music is, like you say, catchy.

Of course that leaves the question: What do monks and nuns wear under their robes?

Nothing, of course.

it doesn't directly hurt anyone.......it's arguable even that it indirectly hurts anyone. Oh, right, it's some form of addiction or compulsive behaviour.

;) Is there something wrong with your eye, madame?

Hmm...should that be counted as a guilty or a shameful pleasure?

Neither, going camando under big priest robes isn't very comfortable at all.

Guilty pleasures? I don't think I have any...

I so rarely come here anymore. It's just my luck that there is at least one good thread around when I do. Anyways, as if my sig didn't give it away, I do so ever much enjoy hentai. And not just pics either. I have several movies and games in my collection.

I prefer hentai games and movies mostly because they have much better plot, with some exceptions of course. But most of what I got would be watchable even it there wasn't any sexual content in them. Some I would even claim to be better than much of the rubbish that Hollywood has been coming out with in the past few years.

*breathes deep* I....I like and own Avril Lavignes lastest CD.

*cries*

I used to have guilty pleasures, but they took too much effort to maintain...

I occasionally pop my finger in my mouth after scratching the inside of my ear.
I don't even realise I'm doing it anymore.

What do monks and nuns wear under their robes?

Ignorance.

Rock and Roll teaches us otherwise:

most likely, you'll find that alot of people do it also. no matter how... deviant you think it is, there are people out there that will 1) understand and 2) also partake of it.

The O.C. (which is, or, until this season was, brilliant)
cheesy, happy, pop music
Big Brother
Dance music

I like watching 24 even though it generally paints a less than positive view of Muslims. Its still a good show.

I watch South Park.

<.< >.> *flees*

SOUTH PARK!

Since it was mentioned, here's some good quotes.

"If you boys mess up your report, Mr. Hat's gonna have to slap a b*tch up"
-Mr. Garrison

"Good thing Cartman's fat ass can fit us both"
-Kenny, trapped inside Cartman

Well...I like emo music.

My favorite song by the Killers is "Mr. Brightside."

I watch South Park.

Oh, I have to add "The L-word."

Those bitches are hot.
