No, I don't think players sit around talking about civil rights. But I also think it's very easy for them to talk tolerance in front of microphones when they don't have to put it in action on a day-to-day basis. To wit: plenty of white people are "fine" with the intellectual notion of black equality until their…

Don't you think the fact that Culliver (evidently) didn't anticipate blowback for his comments tells you that there's a homophobia gap between NFL locker rooms and society at large? The commissioner's office tamping down a PR disaster by forcing Culliver to make public amends doesn't necessarily mark the NFL as a…

Yeah, I'm a huuuuuge sucker for that stuff. Hell, I downloaded one of the Dead Space novels on my e-reader thing (haven't read it yet, may never). It's just, holy hell, the games themselves are incredibly intense. I played the demos for 2 and 3: 3 was action-packed and more purely fun than the first game; 2 was…

Scoutmaster: ...and now, it's my great pleasure to present Luke with the final merit badge in his quest to become an Eagle Scout.

I don't mean to be heartless, but this is actually a small relief. My buddy called me this morning to tell me the boss of the Lake Show had died, and for several heart-stopping moments I thought we'd lost Fred Smoot.

Jesus, this is fucking great.

To be fair, in the corporate world, lots of chief executives draw salaries comparable to those of the workers who actually produce the product which sustains the enterprise. For example, in fiscal 2011, McDonald's President and CEO Don Thompson made just as much money as the annual salary of the cooks who prepare the…

It makes better sense once you find out that the site originated as a sales site for vintage 1950s political campaign-branded shirtfront ornaments, and that Nick Denton purchased it on the cheap after the e-business tanked.

Catching up. This is fucking hysterical.

Just catching up to this. It's great.
