Let's think about Chrissy Amphlett. Let's think about a touching tribute to her. She would have wanted us to.

Agree. It's too "SEE ME, Straight Person, for the vulnerable Special Cause that I am." The LGBT community doesn't need me to feel sorry for them. They need me to respect them as people deserving of basic civil rights.

Thank you for reminding me of this. I always lose it in the same spot - when the parents open the front door. And then I'm a mess the rest of the video. Love this so much.

As someone who has research interests in the branding of celebrity moms, this is fascinating from a purely academic perspective.* Her image is "a mom who is just like us who also happens to be a movie star." She is often referred to as "America's Sweetheart" and known for her down to earth personality by her fans. As…

I'm so sorry for your loss. I, too, am shocked by how lenient DUI laws are in most states. I was re-reading an old story about a college dorm-mate the other day who was tried and convicted of DUI and vehicular manslaughter. He killed TWO people in the wreck. Guess how much time he served? 3.5 MONTHS on a ten-year…

By jove, I think you've solved our little mystery! It's the Tom Selleck Effect!

When did Neil Diamond become HOT? When did that happen? Does this mean I'm *officially* old?

God, I miss him.

I'm hoping it was a typo. Like, she meant to type something like:

Thanks! I've heard really good things about all of these products. I'll give them a try.

I'm a mother of two very young boys. I always wonder about the parents of the rapists and (subsequent) bullies. I wonder what happened prior to these acts that led these boys to think it's ok to treat women/people this way. I understand that bullies are often reacting out of the abuse they receive at home. I don't…

I'm curious to know what you use. Mind sharing? I definitely need to start using something other than just Cetaphil and SPF on my face. My mid-thirties are staring to show.

After reading about the suicide of a rape/bullying victim on Gawker, I totally needed this. I laughed so hard, snot came out of my nose. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Me. I did. I posted a similar question. Can't believe it.

Also, the 'leave it to a rapper' implies:

I wrote about this, too. I can't understand why more people aren't like "WTF, LL?!" I almost EXPECT this type of dumbass-ness from a white, male country singer.

Serious question. Is it wrong that I expect a doofus white, male country singer to write this shit, but that I am MORE appalled at LL for co-signing this BS? Like, I think LL should've known better. I'm not excusing Paisley or his song, but I'm not shocked by it. I am more shocked that a black man would participate in…

Yes. Totally agree.

Thank you. I was going to write something like this, but you wrote it better.

I don't understand why people, especially women, are all 'yay, pope!' just because he acknowledged that women have fundamental value. That's like saying, 'women are people, too.' In 2013. Nothing has changed. Women's "special, fundamental role" in the church still isn't in a leadership role, like say, um, oh I dunno,…
