I don’t believe in warehousing people in prison unless they commit violent crimes. That being said, the law should apply to an individual case not “set an example”. What if’s don’t matter; what matters is what actually happened.

That's funny. I am surprised about it now being produced in Sweden though. I live in Sweden and it's Ben and Jerry's as far as the eye can see. Häagen Dazs is much more common in DK now that I think about it. Probably because they are jingoistic AF and know about this little bit of trivia.

The guy that created the company wanted customers to associate his ice cream with Denmark’s superior reputation for dairy products and give a subtle nod to Denmark’s fair treatment of the Jews after WWII. So he sat down and spewed out a bunch of nonsense words that he felt “sounded” Danish until he found a combo he…

When they started releasing pints again, my Facebook had nothing but locals posting photos of themselves hugging armloads of pints or crying against the glass freezer door of their grocery store. I nearly mowed a kid down with my cart a few months ago when I saw they finally had half gallons of Rocky Road.

She should’ve just filmed it and then bought it afterward. I mean, it’s a really stupid stunt, and it’s gross, but I’m having a hard time getting too worked up about it. Have her do some community service, teaching kids not to lick food that they haven’t bought... Or force her to do spon-con for adult diapers... I’d…

I mean that’s almost as bad, they probably have ice cream more often than that in prison.

Y’all don’t understand how gutted southerners were when Blue Bell was off the shelves for so long after the listeria problem. We finally got it back and now we have to worry about some kid licking it after she gave her boyfriend head in the Walmart parking lot? Stop fucking with my ice cream, man. Go fuck with some…

A felony with up to 20 years in prison? Seriously?

It’s clear to the teens and preteens I know who watch the show that none of the cool characters smoke. It’s also clear to them that Joyce smokes because she’s a “hot mess.” That’s a direct quote.

They also show a lot of people running around outdoors without putting a full spectrum sunscreen on. Since skin cancer is even more common, is that also a moral failing?

I was born in 1970. I grew up in southern Indiana. There are pictures of me where I’m a dead ringer for Eleven when she has short hair.

Yup. Whenever I see some shit about parents wailing about “how do I explain this to my chiiiildren?” I’m like “BY EXPLAINING IT TO THEM?”

Agreed. This is ridiculous. Let’s make the 80s, a decade that already happened, safer for THE CHILDRENNNN. My god people need hobbies.

Also, Stranger Things hardly glamorizes smoking. The two main people that do it are Hopper and Joyce, and it is very evident that they do it out of stress. It’s shown in the same light that Hopper guzzling beer and pills and Joyce being a little unhinged is. No one would ever watch those characters smoke and think “oh…

I don’t think the media should be held accountable for things parents should be teaching their children. That includes teaching them about unsafe sex practices, illegal drug use and just general dumb, risky things like walking on live train tracks.

I don’t think smoking is as often meant to add to a character as to add to the setting. Smoking is a big part of the setting during certain eras and among certain groups of people.

Except for the fact that people DID smoke like chimneys in small town Indiana in the 80s. It's very common for people to start (or re-start) smoking when stressed.

I mean.....people smoked. A lot. And everywhere.

“What if we made Tiana white, huh? You wouldn’t like it!”

The stupidest part of the “What if a white person played [insert bad comparison here]” is that mermaids aren’t real.
