Finally! I've always wondered about Dane Cook's origin story.

"Bad Johnson, a movie that stars Cam Gigandet as a man whose penis magically comes off his body and turns into a walking, talking, real, honest-to-goodness human man."

Synecdoche, penis-man.

I assume the penis man ... has a penis, man? And if so, can it detach itself and become a penis man with a penis, too? Is it just penises all the way down?

Cultural appropriation seems to be the popular social justice topic of the moment. The troubling thing is that rather than engage in conversation both sides are essentially engaging in a shouting match.

My feeling is there is a *massive* grey area where you have to consider intent and the fact that cultural exchange…

If I remember correctly, the red "dot" bindi is the religious one. Sparkly bejeweled bindis have no significance.

Seriously?! I hate cultural appropriation too, especially when it comes to my Hindu/Indian culture (e.g. see the ridiculous Christian Yoga phenomenon, that shit drives me crazy!) but this is not that. The majority of Indian women do not treat bindis as a religious symbol anymore. It is fashion. Go into any bindi shop…

that was also my first reaction. I mean, yeah, not fetishizing opressed minorities, rock on, right there with ya. But maybe some things belong to a global aesthetic vocabulary and can be used in loose association, if any, with their original signifier. Floating that idea without preaching it, just feeling like…

Bindis do not not have any traditional signification and have not for some generations. More reflexive feigned Social Justice from the Great North America, Arbiter of All Things Right and True.

Perhaps it's time to address the sexism apparent in that statement rather than the cursing.

I know it's just promotion for that new Seth Rogen movie and I DON'T CARE

"Genetically screened" just doesn't have the same bite in a headline like "genetically modified."

Body shots can be deadly. Take a guess as to what kind of poisoning kills most in hazing incident???

I know! The "hazing" around here is like... "Let's put on goofy clothes and hold a boombox while we dance around campus, but no worries brah, I'll be dancing next to you"

I'm curious how everyone would feel if roles were reversed and frat bros were doing this to sorority members. Would "it's kinda funny" and "I don't get why these frat guys put up with this" and the general snickering be the same?

*head desk*

I guess that depends. Studies have shown that organically grown produce still has pesticides in it and on it. Organic is only good for cutting back on the amount of non-organic pesticides being used. Sometimes, this means needing to use even MORE chemicals to treat bugs. I'm not anti-organic or anything but I hate how…

Organic does not mean healthier. It just means that it is grown with organic certified pesticides and fertilizer. The nutritional content in conventionally grown and organic produce is the same.

This is a good opportunity to not make bigoted comments or claims that betray a basic ignorance of how gender identity and/or human biology work.
