Yeah, it's a pretty big thing in most Latin cultures.

That is straight up the funniest thing I have read all day.

Yes! I came here to say exactly this!

I wish there was a gif of Marty's "You're the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch" line. I feel like that would also be appropriate in this instance.

I feel like this whole thread escalated REALLY quickly.

Agree, I think Lupita is very talented, deserved the hell out of that Oscar, and seems very well-spoken, but she does seem to be the media's "It Girl," which is a position that's usually pretty arbitrarily assigned. I just think it's shitty that no matter who it happens to be, there's the inevitable backlash. And I…

Yeah, I thought the same thing! In particular that she might be getting sick - especially on the last few notes, including the high one she belted. I almost detected a crack in there.

People, yes, but mostly women, let's be honest.

Lupita is going to reveal herself as a human with human faults and most of the people who are obsessed with her now are going to turn, and the backlash will be huge. And I'm just going to be sitting over here laughing at you all.

You guys. The Harvest Church in Hammond is no joke crazy-ass Christianity to the hilt. My mom taught students who went to that church and they spoke pretty openly about their rejection of evolution, science, etc. It creeps me the F out that former congregants of Hosana are there now but it in no way surprises me.

Yes! And remember all the drama with James, who dared to imagine that things might not work out with Desiree since he was one dude of 20 who was dating her? Good lord they were a bunch of cry babies.

I enjoy reading Lost Angeles' Bachelor and Bachelorette recaps for many reasons, but chief among them is how he speculates that Chris Harrison is secretly an international drug lord.

For real. What cracked me up the most about those ads was that they made me super sure I would never watch it. It looked like SUCH a terrible show based on the promotions.

Sounds like your ex is incredibly self-centered and fairly insensitive. I know it probably doesn't seem this way but bullet dodged I'd say!

This piece is amazing. I have about five single friends who should read this immediately.

Yep. This is similar to what's happening in New Orleans in neighborhoods like the Faubourg Marigny and Bywater. There have been amazing music clubs in those neighborhoods for YEARS and now a bunch of "carpetbaggers" have moved into the neighborhoods and are trying to get the city council to pass noise ordinances for…

You just gotta worry about you.

Yes yes yes!!!! I have been annoyed from the start by her use of the term "dark horse" in this song. THAT WORD DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS KATY PERRY!

...I don't see a need to discuss to death whether each new Important Female Character is or isn't a feminist

I came here to say that this article makes me appreciate the abortion plotline on Friday Night Lights all the more. Tami Taylor gave the most INCREDIBLE counseling to a young girl facing a really difficult situation. I also really appreciated how they depicted all the bullshit "waiting periods," etc that anti-choice…
