Well, she did say she'd model for it, so I assume that means she thinks she doesn't fit the (unrealistic) Barbie mold.

Yeah, I guess in a world where Jennifer Lawrence is "fat", that makes sense. Sigh.

No, I'm with you. I'm not going to climb any barricades or anything, but I'm not going to listen to him either - in any format.

To give her zero credit at all (ie I'm not defending her because she sucks), but I'm going to guess this is a body dysmorphia issue rather than a clear view of what she actually looks like, since she's already said she has disordered eating. She still sucks, but the curvy thing may not be the thing to be mad about.

You get ALL the stars!

Hey, it might also have a high alcohol content! We could ALL use that!

Haha, we used to have a dog that liked to jump off the second floor porch (after he busted through the screen door onto the porch) and take off for an afternoon gallivant around the neighborhood. Drunk downstairs neighbor lady, once very hesitantly asked my mother if our dog could, umm, fly?

Also Douglas Adams.

Like, when my daughter was a competitive swimmer, all the moms had giant econo-size bags of these things to give their kids after each race to give them a quick energy/calorie boost. Nobody ever quibbled that it wasn't 95% sugar. On the other hand, the suit isn't necessarily because they were duped into believing that…

I went out on a date once with a calculus professor, and asked him if he thought your standard college student should be required to take calculus, and his response was a ringing NO! His opinion was that unless you were going into orbital mechanics or some such math intensive field you should stay the fuck away from…

True story related to the kosher/halal aside: I had a friend in high school whose family kept kosher and she was always very careful and thoughtful about her diet. One night we decided to go out for dinner to a restaurant that had a salad bar famous for their boiled shrimp, and I assumed she would do her usual salad…

Honey. I grew up in Florida and now live in NOLA. Crazy and dumbass is all I speak.

So, considering this story and the BCO about the girl who called in dead to work, I'm wondering of people are getting stupider and therefore really believe these idiot plots will work, or if we're just hearing about it more because of the wonders of the interwebz?

I’ve gotten UI for being “laid off” in Louisiana, so I’d guess VT is even more liberal, however they don’t have to pay if they can prove that they had a legitimate cause to can you, which I’d guess they did in this case. Guy doesn't strike me as being too brainy, so probably he didn't plan on the whole "you threatened…

I'm guessing he wanted to get fired for the unemployment bennies.

Yes, but nobody paid attention to him then. He was just a sideshow freak. Now he's the ringmaster.

Truthfully? I think it's more our hillbilly cousins in Arkansas and Kentucky. They're such dumbasses.

The way I read it, they can’t have transfer agreements with PUBLIC hospitals, leaving private (aka religious) hospitals as the only option for making transfer agreements with. Beauty. Makes me extra grateful that one of our biggest regional hospitals has a Jewish affiliation.

I actually have a friend who’s done work for Karl Rove, and although it’s been a close call a few times, he’s never hit him with a hammer. Yet.

Seriously. I filed a pornography complaint against some anti-abortion protesters near my bank who always carried giant signs with photos of dismembered fetuses. I figured it was just as horrifying as the hardcore porn they're always bitching about AND in a public place where I take my daughter. It was the one and only…
