There were three takes and she made the same weed joke every time, that's hardly misspeaking. Especially as Osborne apparently objected to the comment *at the time* and on all three takes. She would have been lying if she defended her colleague and seriously are we now going to criticise people for speaking out about…

Wouldnt GMOs (header image) have *less* 'chemicals' in than 'normal' food since one of the things they're genetically modifying them for is to be resistant to pests and disease and thus need less pesticides and such? So if she's against 'chemicals' (I really hope she's using that as shorthand for man-made chemicals at…

I was talking about how Jezebel referred to it rather than whether it actually happened. It felt like from that quote Jezebel disagreed that the woman was responsible for her actions in the, quite possibly fictional, scenario they were discussing. I really don't care about anyone involved enough to go read that link…

At a drunken dinner one night, "Jessica saw Eric exchange glances with another woman" and then try to get her number, and "she went crazy." Meaning,she popped him in the face with her designer handbag. Witnesses say they saw Jessica "screaming at her husband, and cameras captured Eric collapsing into their chauffeured…

While it is obvious, it's just as obvious that the victims are black and no one would consider writing that "throughout the twentieth century hundreds of people were lynched by white people for the crime of 'not knowing their place'".

I'm pretty sure the author thinks that she was writing a healthy consensual BDSM relationship.

OK those are good reasons and I did not know about the cheating thing. I was getting irritated by the seahawk player who wouldn't properly interact with the media (yeah I get it you hate doing it, but it's part of your job so do what the rest of us do when confronted with responsibilities we hate, suck it up and then…

You sound sane. And I shall enjoy the superbowl much more if I am rooting for one team or the other. So, tell me why fuck the patriots? Because frankly at the moment my decision is being based on do I go with Cap's team or StarLord's.

i bet you're the host/hostess's favourite person right now lol.

No these people deserve to die or become disabled *themselves*. Their children absolutely do not deserve this. That's like saying someone who has been convicted of physically abusing their child deserves the child to die because of it.

I guess that means my plans for a Holocaust diet are going to have to be shelved along with the accompanying Bataan Death March exercise regime.

So glad about this. I hope he gets the Legion D'Honneur too that people are campaigning for but let's face it this is far more useful to him than a medal. And in general, unless you're a refugee/asylum seeker, the standard issue for citizenship is will this person contribute positively towards our country? Well, he…

To paraphrase one of the first replies to Murdoch's idiotic tweets - if as he believes all Muslims need to apologise for Islamic terrorists then as a white person, I unreservedly apologise for Rupert Murdoch...

Actually facing backwards is far safer, so you could call that an advantage. It does increase the chance of people feeling travel sick though - which is the main reason airplanes don't seat everyone facing backwards. It was looked into many years ago because it is safer (it's safer in all forms of transport that…

Ah, no I didn't miss that she was first class, I just didn't know that about under seat storage. Because I don't fly first class (given I only make short flights I can't see why it would be worth the money). In that case stow what you need in the seat pocket and put the damn bag in the overhead like you're supposed to.

Oh it should definitely be a goal for the future. It's just that it took decades to get the seat problem fixed (people would remain restrained in the seat but the seats tended to come loose and get tossed forwards in a serious crash) so finding a system that could hold wheelchairs firmly but be easily detachable both…

The insurance company has stated they are covered for the medical bill. However they went for five days and are staying for three months so while they do have accommodation (Ronald McDonald House are housing them) they will need clothing and things like that and of course baby stuff, and the husband will, obviously,…

Look at how long and complex it was to invent normal plane seats that don't detach from the plane in a crash (seriously it took a long time to find something strong enough not to break but flexible enough to withstand a crash without coming free) and you might realise why they don't do this. For decades the biggest…

Couldn't you just put it on the floor, that's what I've *always* been told to do with mine. And mine usually has enough electronics* in it to stock a small shop and as such could probably break bones if it flew across the cabin. I've never been told that handbags and such need to go in the overhead bins - handluggage…

I prefer to assume women are just too smart to get involved in the whole 'what are you, chicken?' aspect of this kind of thing.
