No, you are not wrong. Chunky highlights are excellent, it is decreed.

Great piece, glad to see it republished, and lots of interesting commentary, as is due.

What??? Specifics???

Copyranter!!!! Happy to see your byline, have been missing you.

Oh, good, sorry!!! I just didn't want to take undue credit. :)

Ha, thank you, but to be fair, it is a (grossly aggressive) line from the song in question. I think I deployed it much better, personally. Lily Allen gave an excellent 'oh snap' in 'Hard Out Here:'

Holy fuck, she's a soulless piece of ass-hattery! I was going to Google her for more background, but forget it, I have far better things to do with my night than contribute even the tiniest click that might infinitesimally bolster her profile. Thank you for a sufficient heads-up.

I get your point, OP, clarified in your second post. And I wonder if Schaefer Riley would be offended to see a similar argument constructed around racial binaries, per her excellent example of how to completely dehumanize someone based on 'perceived' societal value. In a clinical and condescending tone, one could

Hey, I've been working on my boyfriend for over a year to let me peg him! I don't think it's freaky, I think it would be a hot and great experience, to flip what he considers the power-dynamic around penetration (it's a very big matter of trust, on his part, and consideration and gentleness on mine).

Ooh, citation? This deserves to be quoted more frequently!

I thought that was a terrific video!

So it seems. EW. Just, EW.

I'm going to jump in an defend Doug on this one, on the basis of this sentence:

OMG, SO MANY. Start with Peep Show and Pulling, though, and you're life will be forever changed for the better. The Thick of It is a slightly different flavor, and also brilliant.

Worst guy I ever dated I met when he was homeless on the street begging for change. It was not an auspicious beginning, and ended even worse.

I do mean Kelly, but most of his alleged, despicable acts were committed in the '90s:

He's been disgusting forever, and I don't know why everyone doesn't feel the same. Although I think my theory stands - pre-internet saturation, it seemed more like an ugly rumor than a fact to a lot of people.

HMMM... I think that Bratz dolls ARE slutty-looking. We don't have an agreed cultural consensus on 'slutty,' I realize, but they definitely have a porn-star affect going on.

The very thought is jaw-dropping, isn't it? The only positive thing to say about modern celebrity culture is if Allen and Polanski's crimes came out nowadays, they'd probably never work again (or at the very least, been unable to stuff their crimes behind veneration).
