They had better not pick a white actress! This is my (white) daughter’s favorite movie, partly because the “princess” looks like my step mom and my best friend, both of whom she adores. And come on, aren’t we all getting sick of white washed media? It doesn’t look like real life and we all benefit from diversity.

I don't know why anyone would be obligated to do anything in the bedroom. Penises of the world, no one owes you a blow job, no matter how swell you think you are.

An ultrasound is a an accurate procedure that measures size of the fetus and generally isn't done that early for a normal pregnancy. Judging by LMP isn't always. Some women do bleed after initial conception so mistakenly think they had a period. Doctors, if they do a physical exam that early, can really only see that

I'd say it was a fitting revenge, but you did commit extortion or blackmail. Something like that.

Why would you dump the horrible friends but not the person who took vows with you? The cheating was bad enough, but he also lied about it and then triangulated you with the other couple to try to make you out as the problem.

I had a baby in 2013 and have one on the way. I think I know how it works, but thanks for that.

There was an article about this show (I forget where) that notes that there isn't a single major character who is a white, straight man. I think they aren't perfect on race—just as 30 Rock wasn't. But "insanely racist" seems like an absurd overstatement. I really love Dong's character and am impressed that he's the

Or a portrayal of a recent immigrant who is not Mexican, which is what I think a majority of white Americans think is synonymous for immigration. (And when yr Mex a common thing you hear is you know, are you "illegal.")

But the Native American subplot works because it's written by Natives on the writing staff, and the parents are played by Natives, the references to the Lakota are researched and respectful, and the jokes are a lot more about Jane Krakowski looking all 80's than looking Native American. When writing about race, isn't

Well and let's be real, she spent 15 years underground in a pastel dress. I would be ecstatic to get some color. That felt like a real reaction to me.

I think there's criticisms to be had, but I think the show does try to subvert some of these stereotypes. Dong, though good at math (which the show addresses as a stereotype, but true in this case), is also super kind, funny, and a romantic interest. I think that's a huge deal—the only other Asian male love interest

The first half of the pilot is quite twee, but the edge is there. You just don't get to see the rather misanthropic themes until near the end of the pilot (merely glimpsed), and then the second episode puts it all to the fore. As with 30 Rock, they're playing with tired television tropes (to me, 30 Rock was less a

Don't let her confuse you. There isn't that much Nick or Disney references n shit like she's making it seem. It's a great show, but this review is terribly misleading. That said, Hope you enjoy! The stories about Jesus' "Brother Terry" are my favorites(you'll get it soon)

I guess you can read racism into anything. But you do realize that besides Kimmy, the only "positive" characters are non-white? Do you think Dong—who is an immigrant—shouldn't have broken english? Should Tittus be a boring accountant instead of a fun gay? The maid in the bunker cares so little about white people that

I have been enjoying this show so much.

i think this show is really going to settle into something very good. it's got rough patches but everyone is so charming.

Okay, they don't HAVE any power over him. Notice how ONE real threat to get sent to SHU was all it took to shut the blackmail down? At the end of the day, even though they tried to exert the little leverage they had, he was able to override them entirely, and it's made pretty clear that he was only tolerating them in

Everyone take a moment and savor Leto's transformation with me, Jezzies. I was recently dumped by a stupidly hot man-child who styled himself largely after Mr. Leto (devastating in the pants department) and who more or less held Leto as the only man-crush in his life. He more or less modeled his life, look and music

It's that latter grouping which is being included here. Binary trans people are binary, of course. However, non-binary people are... uh non-binary. I don't think what you're seeing here is all trans people being put into non-binary gender identities, but rather the explicit recognition of non-binary gender identities

That's kinda insulting. There's no "hygienic" reason women should shave or even trim for that matter. Actually shaving, for both sexes, can cause cuts that can be a gateway for infection. For both sexes, its purely cosmetic. That said, do your partner a favor and at least trim it back some.
