He was a horrible witness, both in his deposition and in his testimony. It would have seemed a million times wiser to just own the comments from the start and say, "yes, the song was influenced by Marvin Gaye, just like a lot of the rest of my music, and a sizable chunk of all R&B from the last two decades. But it's…

I think you're downplaying the role of the pre-emptive lawsuit. By suing, the songwriters were basically saying, "Fuck Marvin Gaye's legacy. We're not only going to use it, we're going to say we came up with it." They're the ones that shat all over the ages-old acknowledgement by artists that art is theft.

Ah yes, $500 for the first consultation, and $100 an hour after that

I was 25 in 2002, and XXX was the first real sign that my adolescence was well and truly dead. Saw it with my girlfriend, age 23, and when we came out of the movie it went something like this:

At least it wasn't a banana. We're making progress, people.

"Well, Mr. President I'm sorry that today isn't what you were expecting and I agree that History will almost certainly remember her as being the most important member of the Scooby Gang but Selma, sir, is the city in Alabama"

"Just smile and nod and maybe he'll stop talking soon."

Don't schedule meetings with anyone, parent or not, at 4:30 pm. Unless you are a monster.

I am a mom who works, and one of the best thing about having the kids is that I have a foolproof excuse to skip the stupid happy hours after work. Before the babies, I had to make up excuses to avoid this. We already worked together all day, I don't need to sit around and bitch about work after work with people I…

Well, I mean, now that it's happened to her she can empathize. Just like Republicans who have gay children and are suddenly all aboard the equal marriage train. Heartless until it's a problem they're personally facing. And that's what this woman was. Heartless. Excuse me if I don't applaud her sudden change of heart.

She sounds like she was pretty much a dick as a manager if you DIDN'T have kids. For fuck's sake people, some of us have lives, hobbies, OTHER family members we like to spend time with. Companies have stopped giving a shit about any of us... why do they think we'll continue to sacrifice everything, and kill ourselves…

I would be interested in getting her husband's perspective as well. I mean, maybe he is totally fine with it. But, there were a couple of moments here where it crossed my mind that he could be harboring some secret jealousy and resentment that he's burying because he doesn't want to lose her. It's impossible to know…

John Schneider: "OK, Marshawn. Looks like we have a deal. But I've got a treat for you."
John Schneider: [hits red button on desk; door slides upwards]
John Schneider: "Come on in, Russell."
Russell Wilson: [is definitely going to hand the pen to Lynch to sign]
Marshawn Lynch: "Fuck you."

it's not unusual to be loved by anyone.

Surprised he didn't do it more. Doesn't seem like a guy who would stop after one handful.

portly Bulls fan

Where is that octopus nope nope nope gif when I need it? *mind blown*

She still shouldn't be paid more than the fighters. Even as hot as she appears to be. Unless she's making more money because she works 500x more events than a fighter does a year or something like that. In which case Rousey should shut up.

UFC President Dana White responded, "Sure, we COULD pay all are fighters more than our ring ba...er...girls, but then we wouldn't have the money to bring you SOOOOO many exciting fights. Like UFC 192 Smith vs. Other Smith. Or UFC fight night on Fox sports 1, featuring Janitor Versus Substitute Teacher. Or even UFC on…
