That bit made me rage. Oh, well, obviously we have to victimize some women, so it's good that it's these women rather than the other ones over there who I kind of care about. What, not victimize any women at all? Well that's just crazy talk.

I do try to be sympathetic, but the whole thing is a bit Darwin Awards. Especially when people try to get cutesy with bears. Sorry, folks, the apex predator does not want to be your friend.

Neither of them are wearing periwinkle, just FYI. Also, why does everyone think Middleton is so stylish? The dress she's wearing here is so dowdy that it would be a better fit for Camilla, who's more than twice her age.

I'd be saying "oh, how cute - come hang out on my porch, little critters!" if it weren't for the fact that they carry rabies*. Also they'd probably try to eat my cat.

How are you going to give me a grandchild, huh? There is no maternity ward on the space station!

Stealing this.

You're the one who came up with the idea video games are all made for straight white men. Which is an absurd thing to say, given the number of games aimed squarely at Japanese men alone.

Ah, so I'm not the only one who looked at that comment and considered gently explaining to Gare Bear where babies come from.

Hah! Yeah, Scotland isn't really the ideal environment for it, or icy drinks in general. If you're ever in a warmer place it's amazing though, the perfect balance of strong coffee and sweetness. I'm not even much of a dairy person, but Viet iced coffee is a thing of beauty. (Meanwhile, over here, it's so hot in my

Condensed milk is one of the secrets of Vietnamese iced coffee too, and that doesn't taste quite right unless it's done by an expert either. I need to bug my auntie to see if she knows gran's tablet recipe - I feel like it's probably a technique issue. Hers was all soft and melty right under the hard crust, the store

Soup is the only way to make turnips edible - hides the flavor and the smell.

If you're still not seeing why that (and the fact that Erin's article contains some errors) doesn't make this OK, or make the fact that a lot of women (who have seen the trailer) still have a problem with this game and the way it's being presented go away, then like I said, you're not getting it. On purpose, possibly,

There's one woman who he respects? Cool. Now maybe he can work on learning to respect the other 3.5 billion of us.

This one made me snicker. It's always funny when someone tells you right to your face that your body type is "unrealistic". What am I then, a hologram?

If you're looking at that trailer and not seeing an implied attempted (not completed) rape, then I'm afraid I can't help you. Perhaps an optician could, though.

We complain about this lazy narrative trope when it shows up in movies or on TV too, you know.

A headbanging cockatoo? My day is now complete.

Did you resist the temptation to remind him that coffee is supposed to go in the other end?

Oh, look, a nice neat summation of the problem.

He's going "OK, so the director says that she's my future wife and I should look enthralled and romantic..but she's a little kid! OK, focusing now...argh, now she's talking about her favorite stuffed animal! Why did I take this job without reading the books first?".
