I normally enjoy reading Angry Asian Man, but I don't feel like he understood who the butt of the joke of that poem is supposed to be. When I first read that poem I was 95% certain it was mocking the practice of white urbanites/hipster/foodie types Columbusing ethnic cuisines to feel culturally superior. I feel like…

How sad. When I used to work in Manhattan, I had the habit of keeping a few coins in my pocket each morning. I’d buy a coffee at one or another bodega during my walk to the office. Sometimes it would cost 50 cents, sometimes 75. Since leaving the city, I’ve had to rely more on Starbucks (or AM/PM, etc.), and in all…

He’s such an arrogant fuck. Other than “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold” I don’t care for anything he’s written. He was a dinosaur before he was 40 years old. Again: Gay Talese, Roth, Updike, Mailer, et al. They were of their time and place. Period.

I see. Women are a recent invention, then, popping up somewhere around the time bras were being (mysteriously and apocryphically) burned. Before that, nothing.

Okay a couple of things:

Hi, my name’s Jonathan Franzen and I really don’t see what the uproar is all about.

I’m kinda over Shonda Rhimes. She’s not getting the Nobel Prize for Literature here. She makes engaging night time soap opera tv shows. She needs to get over herself.

Yeah, that ghost storyline coupled with Rhimes’ “Heigl” remark, and she was for sure being punished.

Not really. By the same token you could say that Shonda Rhimes is a difficult person to work with because she tacitly forces her staff to issue political endorsements. So I don’t trust her assessment of who’s an ahole because it just seems to be “anyone who doesn’t agree with me and recognize me for the brilliant…

I fucking hated that movie, and I’m a man. Agree 100%.

I mean, being shitty to costars is not excusable but all she said about Knocked Up was that having the male characters portrayed as fun and lovable despite being immature manchildren while the women telling them to grow up were portrayed as shrill not-fun harpies was “kind of sexist,” which is true. And then she said…

or the Dennis Quaid or the Charlie Sheen or the Christian Bale or the Sean Penn, etc etc

Seriously? Luke was the best character on the show.

I posted a FB status the other day asking why, if we expect toilet paper to be free in public restrooms, we don’t expect the same for feminine hygiene products. I got a very thoughtful response from a friend who said, basically, exactly what was contained in this article. Grownass women can ovary up and borrow from…

Realness?

Am I taking crazy pills? She is exhibiting realness? How? By binding her belly with a “waist trainer” and putting her internal organs at risk. Contouring her face with so much makeup that she looks like a completely different person without. Exploiting the insecurities of women everywhere by marketing beauty products…

Seriously. Love how she suddenly grows a brain each time she gets criticized so she can play victim for a minute. Empowerment my ass... Or hers...

Serial killers live their life the way they want with no apologies. That alone shouldn’t get you praise.

No no no no, do not believe this for one single minute. This was the most choreographed event since last season’s Nutcracker ballet. Actions speak waaaay louder than words.

Except...she doesn’t show her flaws, nor does she accept herself the way she is, and neither does her husband.
