I'll just leave this here, since he does a better job defending the movie (or at least the intentions if not the result) than I ever could, but long story short: satire does not equal endorsement, and failing to get a point across does not mean that the point was invalid.

Sol every time. That stuff goes down like water, but without the wretched aftertaste you'd usually associate with that phrase. Don't mind Dos Equis or Modelo, but can't stand Corona. Tecate just tastes cheap.

Mill Street's best beer (in my mind) is the Doppel Pils. I'm not the biggest fan of Pilseners, but this one is really a standout. Honestly you can't go wrong with most of their brews, unless like me you have a strong aversion to most wheat beers.

For Ontario craft brews I'm a big fan of Junction Conductor's Ale and Muskoka Mad Tom IPA. Also don't mind Hop City's Barking Squirrel, but that's one of those weird beers where the canned version tastes really different (in a bad way) than the tap version.

St Louis, San Jose, and Vancouver are the obvious picks. Some people (who put too much emphasis on pre-season) think a young Oilers team could surprise. My personal sleeper is Minnesota, they were supposed to make some noise last year and never did, maybe with time their new acquisitions will gel; plus the've got…

Exactly. No one (or at least no one intelligent) is saying "all men are better at sports than women". But at the far tip of the curve, where you find the absolute freaks who are olympic and professional athletes, the differences in the average are magnified.

K, I think that's my fault. I should know sarcasm doesn't work well online. I actually agree with you 100%.

There's an interesting chapter in Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" that talks about why certain animals were domesticated and others weren't. Even if you're not the biggest fan of his, I thought it was one of the better parts of the book. One of the big indicators was that any animal that does not exist in the…

Don't be silly. The problem with racism and sexism isn't that they exist, it's that people keep talking about them...

The Serengeti Ranch, the animal exhibitor that we believe supplied the animals for the Roar video, has been inspected by the US Department of Agriculture 22 times since 2001.

The problem with the whole "supply and demand" argument is that every year there are at least a handful of movies, perhaps even more, that could become solid hits ($20-40M) if only they were released on 1000 screens (or even 500) instead of being confined to the LA/NY arthouse scene. Studios seem to be more interested…

I know this was a joke, but actually it probably wouldn't. The anecdotal evidence is stronger than the scientific, but both seem to suggest that one of the reasons for Kenya's distance-running dominance is due to the necessity of running as a form of transport (for kids to get to school for example). Assuming this new…

Don't knock it before you read it. Greg Rucka is probably in the top 10 (at least) in terms of modern comic book writers, and has a track record of writing great female characters, including a run on Wonder Woman and Gotham Central, and great stories in general, such as a large part of the No Man's Land arc on Batman.…

I don't know about telling "real nerds" what show to watch, but the other show that did a great job depicting nerd culture in a positive way was Chuck. At the beginning, Chuck was both a loser and a nerd. His character development resulted in him not being a loser anymore, but continuing to embrace his nerdiness. The…

So this isn't quite germane to the subject of the article, but I really wish Jezebel would stop quoting/sourcing/referring to bodybuilding.com forums. While it is a resource for some (or perhaps even lots of) valid information about fitness and nutrition, simply by its nature of being a large, predominantly young,…

To be fair plenty of people called out the racism in Red Dawn. And with regards to "Tomorrow When The War Began" the author of the series went to great lengths to not actually identify a race or nationality, and for years refused to comment on the ethnicity of the invaders. That kind of breaks down though when you…

This Is The End wasn't even the funniest movie of the summer, let alone of the last 5 years. This year's comedy champion is The To-do List, easily.
