MIT fraternity rush question:

The Carlton dance is hilarious but Alfonso Ribeiro was on Broadway in The Tap Dance Kid…

Nobody I know, male or female, enjoys the Sansa chapters. She's in a terrible situation and has absolutely no agency, and it makes me feel frustrated and helpless as a reader. It's masterful storytelling, and it makes me uncomfortable.

Yeah, that's not the right way of talking about the issue. If Mindy doesn't want to address it on her show, that's fine. Some comedies don't tackle serious issues. But the abortion episodes in Sex and the City and Girls worked well enough, even though both shows shied away from having the character follow through with…

I would say, even with the looser controls in modern television, that its HARDER (or at least more controversial) to talk about abortion now than in the 70s, especially in a comedic setting. Its almost like the polarization of our society has made everything worse.

So, I agree there are ways to mention it in a sitcom but I think the show would have to have a good reason to use it because it IS an important issue. I think it could be fit in somehow and have wondered this myself before about the show.

I completely agree with everything Olliver say's here regarding Ferguson.

I used to reply quite a bit in Jezebel, but this latest iteration of Kinja has been a troll fest. It's not even worth it anymore, so I rarely post. I'm probably not the only one.

How can we support you? What can readers/commenters do to push Gawker Media into action?

I know that I, personally, have been avoiding many of the more interesting articles (the ones I know that guy will come to) lately because of this. It saddens me you guys have to put up with it. You don't get paid to deal with that kind of stuff. And frankly, it pushes readers away.

also, Beaujolais Nouveau is not a name brand. but i do like that the word Beaujolais has every vowel.

The episode that mocked the RHoBH dinner with the real ghost whisperer - here with the ghost shouter - was perfection!

We do NOT say the CD word in this house!

Bahaha, yes! I love it when the husband gets upset because his wife was called a bitch but then it's "calm down" that sets her off.

IDGAF !
