Every month, Blender magazine does a segment called "My Music: Our Favorite Stars' Favorite Records." The Jan/Feb 2006 issue features picks by actress, Portia de Rossi (Ally McBeal, Arrested Development). Listed as "The album that makes depression fun [for her]!" is Morrissey's Bona Drag.
Portia explains, "What I love about Morrissey is that his lyrics are just unbelievable. He puts so much humor into them, and I don't how he does it. 'Why do you come here and why do you hang around?' You smile at the depths of depression and isolation and anxiety he feels. His songs are so pretty, but he's singing about the ugliest things. He manages to make it sound like, 'Oh well, that's just the way it is.' I love the theatrics of it all."

01. How you're always concerned about how I'm feeling.
Worried? Frightened the police will smash your door down and take you in? Nervous in case the child porn on your computer is discovered?
02. Your commitment to truth--even hard truths.
Even outright lies designed to make her seem more interesting?
03. Your sentimental nature.
You've only known her two minutes, and spent even less time in her company.
Wait til you discover the REAL Jennifer, the twisted bitch.
04. The way you're interested in what I'm thinking.
The way she pretends to give a fuck, you simple minded idiot.
05. Your playfulness.
Urgh! We don't want to know. Really.
06. Your come-hither smile.
That's not a smile, it's a grimace, it means she's about to throw up again.
07. The way you tenaciously hold onto your dreams.
Her dreams?
Does she dream about not being a scrawny bulimic cutter, attempting suicide every five minutes?
Good luck with that.
08. Your passion.
How grotesque!
09. Your girlish giggles.
The cackling of a vile old hag?
you're welcome to it.
10. Your imperfections.
Now there's a fucking list!
Make yourself comfortable, this will take a while......

Depression is not fun; it is the art of making art out of it, singing out of it, that is. This girl in my opinion is only talking through her teeth, trying to sound deep.
