Well clearly they made you a priority! As you insinuated that people like my parents did not

It was a terrible combination of monthly times, the fact that work is my life, and the situation of my parents being empty nesters who are willing to smother me when I'm home!

I was just stranded with my parents for three days and I'm so, so glad that I don't have your attitude. I'm glad that they actively work toward making their relationship a priority which trickles down to affect me, instead of making me their lives and caring less about the other. How selfish *I* would feel if that was…

I don't know if this helps, but once when I was an angsty middle-schooler I was talking rudely about my dad, and my mother told me something along the lines of "watch it, that's my husband you're talking about." I though it was weird, but I know that they were married for ten years before I was born, and clearly her…

The simple answer to that is that The Onion would likely have not made that tweet about Dakota Fanning, knowing that if they had, people would be asking for the perpetrators' heads.

Today I cried when had to call my work to tell them that I was snowed in. Like legit snowed in- I visited my parents and the forecast called for a dusting of snow, which resulted in a foot that closed off the gravel road they live on. I enjoy my job but I was more or less bawling about this earlier. Later in the day I…

Was the restaurant insinuating that chicken isn't normally associated with guys?

A tie at the Oscars?! The first award goes to ZeroDarkThirty, and the second goes to the collective gasp made by the audience before realizing that the category was for sound editing.

And again blerghhh

You're kind of highlighting the point the author is trying to make when you say that nobody's forcing actors to do this, but it is widely expected.

I think you're still missing the point that this is all stylized. If you're a person who's vacationing in another country and you're eating soup with a local, take a picture to commemorate your trip. When you're a luxury clothing company composing a shoot that purposely juxtaposes a high fashion model to lowly locals,…

It's true. I saw Les Miserables twice and she looked sickly enough from the makeup and costuming; I didn't think her weight factored into it much. She looked a lot skinnier in candid or promo shots than in the film, so I was expecting to be startled. Emile Hirsch playing a starving man in Into the Wild? Noticeable.…

The way you perceive it is correct, as that's exactly what Native Americans have found offensive. Fashion doesn't exist in a vacuum and clearly things like kimonos, silk scarves, huipil-like embroidery and fur trim are inspired by other cultures... but they have entirely different contexts.

Do you not get that in both situations, people of other cultures are being sensationalized?

"Argo fetch yourself!"

There's something Taylor Swift-tacular about the model's expressions, which makes the ads look even more silly than they already are. Can someone please shop her into them??

A little late to the discussion here, but my father, who I'm a lot more like than my mother, really does treat hardware store purchases how I treat makeup. Sometimes he'll buy things he'll utilize, but will usually browse and end up buying little things that might get used at some point, maybe, but aren't a necessity.…

Kind of like how on one of the few episodes of Fashion Police I caught, they were trashing Lady Gaga's outfit at whatever event. Why bother?

whoops! responded to the wrong person!

Not a very good analogy, because the perceived issue this article discusses isn't Dunham's lack of involvement in the tweet, but her lack of a response to it.
