Wow, it's not often you see a man in the entertainment industry call a coworker out on this so openly. That takes some backbone. I suddenly like this guy a lot more than I previously did when I just thought of him as an adorable hobbit.

This case is such a perfect illustration of how fake the whole conservative values thing is. This kid is not only pulling herself up with her own bootstraps, she pretty much wove those bootstraps herself, and she's using them to pull the rest of her siblings up too. Hardworking, responsible, family-oriented...and a…

I'm just going to declare his eye color "beautiful" and call it a day. But if we have to decide, I'd say more green than blue. Maybe I should look again, though?

I would be willing to support this idea and extend it to other irritating music. A scheme by which I buy government bonds and never have to listen to Christmas music while shopping again? Count me in.

Hey, did you see this? Spot the Morning Musume members singing Honey!

There's this one anime series that Mr C and I used to call "Panties" because it was always advertised on other anime DVDs and, well, 90% of the clips in the promos were off girls falling over/getting caught in a breeze/otherwise ending up in situations where you could see their panties.

They're broken into "teams" that perform separately. You can check it out on Wikipedia I think - it may well be the best money making scheme the Japanese music industry has ever come up with. Doug's post is misleading though - the fanbase leans less young people in general and more pervy dudes (though there are…

The way Mr C and I did it was that one person would pay the rent and the other person would write them a check for half every month.

Pretty much, yeah. Mr C and I do have one shared credit card that's used to pay for communal things, but we've always had separate bank accounts, and our own individual credit cards. We ended up separating, and kept the joint credit card, and now we're probably getting back together, and the whole separate/get back…

So you mean more like a true 4chan style troll? Sure, those exist. I don't think Flynt is one or that that's what's going on with this feature, though, given the way that his publications frame sex in general.

Of course he doesn't have to think it's bad in the sense that nobody should do it. He does, however, quite clearly think that sex is degrading to the person catching (but not the person pitching), and we can tell this from everything he's ever published. And society often agrees with him, which is why his audience…

I've never seen High School Musical and this is making me laugh my ass off. It's just like Footloose! But with Teen Wolf effects! Oh, pop culture aimed at kids - never change.

Oh, yeah, I thought the "most important city in the world" comment was hilarious, and not in an "I'm laughing with you" way. I get why people in Texas feel defensive, but really, there are some big problems, and there's no way a site focused on women's issues isn't going to have snarky things to say about Texas.

If we were going to pick a most important city in the world there would be so many choices. What about computers? If you go with tech being the most important thing, then Silicon Valley wins. If it's banking, NYC or London. And so on. But we're not going to do that, because it's asinine.

LOL at your attempt to make it seem like it's other people who're trying to pick fights, given your first post in this thread.

She should have been given some sort of special award from the school for even managing to graduate in those circumstances, much less as an honor student.

People who're worried about their mascara rubbing off/running if they get wet/generally being a pain in the ass that you have to touch up throughout the day - check out Blinc. You put it on like regular mascara and wait for a couple of minutes for it to dry, and then it's completely smudgeproof and can only be removed…

Calling you a fan of his isn't a personal attack, it's a factual statement. You've made it clear in another thread that you're fond of Hustler. It is funny to watch you run around getting upset with anyone who doesn't share your enthusiasm, though. Everyone knows that Flynt will say or do anything to get a rise out of…

Considering the huge number of bikini shots that Facebook quite happily allows users to post they're really not in a good position to object to this. Either allow users to post content that could be considered risque, or don't, but this half-assed policy that they currently have in place is ridiculous.

You know, men were thinner back then too. I'm sure that it's true that women burned more calories doing housework before the implementation of labor-saving technologies, but so did men. It's not that the results are completely bogus, it's just interesting that so many of these studies about population-wide weight gain…
