I was just about to mention Children Underground, which was both an incredible and heartbreaking film.

sometimes it's easier to put the cart before the horse than take a sober look at the harsh reality that you live in a place people don't see as fit to bring children into. It's the same tune in economically depressed countries with dwindling populations everywhere: make three babies and you get a certificate, make…

isn't there a tradition there of men caring for their elderly parents and women caring for their in-laws, so among those who adhere to that tradition and can only have one child, wouldn't having a boy be a personal retirement plan of sorts? In other countries where people assume a couple will care for the husband's…

sounds like Kevin has a big ol' crush on Laverne Cox and is so ashamed of it that he has to turn it around on her. Grow up, Kevin.

I was being mostly tongue in cheek—removing and replacing tan lines does sound like a colossal waste of time, and good to know some sadistic boss out there isn't demanding it of staff, Memorial Day weekend or otherwise. Presumably marketing and presentation is still a big part of it: somebody somewhere decided that…

well, they've been dead for over 50 years

did they intentionally Photoshop tan lines onto the [otherwise flawless] models to make it look like they didn't alter or enhance the photos at all? Fwiw, I do really like the purple set, and would almost consider wearing it (if I could afford that stuff) were there just a hint more fabric down below.

Urban Legend party at your house tonight! I'll bring the pop rocks =)

is it standard practice these days to give every 6th grader at school an iPad for the year (and not monitor them?) How the hell do they concentrate on school work at all? My attention span would be a lost cause in school now.

yeah, but does he shit in the woods?

sssssssnap!!!! Ohnoshedi'nt!

"sticks and stones can break my bones, but words make me think I deserve it."

un-PC it may be, but I'm a fan of "cock sucker!" when I'm pissed off—just has such a great ring to it, you know? Also, it's only really an insult if you want it to be. Fellatio is not an intrinsically wrong or evil act—if that's one way you make love to your partner, it's just stating the facts, and if it isn't, then…

racial slurs have been frowned upon by our conventional society for a lot longer than LGBTQ insults, and a portion of racists don't think people choose to be Black, Asian, Latino or anything else the way many homophobes still think sexual orientation is a choice. We're still not past the overall mentality that…

I'd hope someone would knock me off my chair early on so that my post-lava clone could appreciate his presence more :)

Lyublyu tebye, Rossiya, no nyet. Prosto. Nyet. Potomu shto nyet.

who says Cox absolutely has to play trans roles from here on out? Sure, she's very tall, and people know that she's trans IRL, but how does that automatically preclude her from playing cis gender characters in the future?

yeah, that struck me as a bit off-sounding, too

the "Behind the Bars" feature on Netflix confirmed that he did, indeed, play pre-op Sophia.

alternatively, maybe he was referencing this article in his reticence to commit to the term "feminist?" http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
