As a follow up: The campaign is also being run by the Harry Potter Alliance, who never had any IP issues with WB or Rowling (Rowling has, in fact, praised them several times).

I was under the impression that HPA was its own individual NGO, and this effort is just a partnership of them and Oxfam. Either way, from my memory the Harry Potter Alliance never had any IP issues. Rowling has consistently praised them and they've won several grants for their efforts.

Agreed. This is total bullshit. Guys definitely notice shoes be they sneakers or boots or heels. Just because they don't say anything doesn't mean they don't notice.

Seriously. What a terrible time for The Daily Show's spring break.

He just looks so excited to be reading!

I think the issue is that he was her teacher, not that his daughter is 17. I would feel the same way if he had a two year old and was 26.

I don't want the show cancelled but I will post those all over the internet if it comes to it.

I will fully support this idea. THERE is some great television.

I agree. This feels like Duggars II: The Duggaring. I would be more inclined to watch a show about a lovely gay couple who has adopted and fostered 19 kids. But they probably realize that putting your family through a television show is crazy pants and wouldn't do it.

New Haven is my favorite place for pizza on the planet.

A CT grocery store was in trouble for tax fraud back in 1993 for diverting $17 million in cash register receipts. And they are still open. Also they could sell it for a hefty profit in order for them to pay some of the fine they'll likely have to deal with. As busy as that place gets in the summer I don't see it…

Who could forget Five! Although I prefer it as 5ive.

No, just a Republican running on the Democratic ticket.

Our history teacher had us write letters to ourselves on 9/12. I threw it into my yearbook from that year and have yet to open it.

According to the article, they made the cannon themselves.

Nope. Jewish stories are the same as Bible stories until you get to the New Testament.

I played Vashti in a play when I was 5. She has always been my favorite.

It is totally about getting loaded and making noise. And the heroes in the story are all women, which is why this ad is so weird to me.

Have you read both? Having neither read Battle Royale nor seen the film, I don't feel safe saying that I've seen it before. io9 did a nice break down a little while ago about the similarities and differences. Mostly I wish people would stop saying, "Oh. you mean it's Battle Royale," because it's not as if it hasn't…

I can't find my cat!
