I´m not a purist when it comes to the Rogue´s Gallery, so the idea of the Joker looking different doesn´t bother me, but ... certain elements of this particular visual make me uncomfortable. The ink everywhere, the grill, the J near his eye that looks suspiciously like it may be referencing the teardrop tats of gang…

This is the first time I´ve laughed at something on TV in a long time. Every time she took a pull from her huge glass of wine, I laughed. Thanks for introducing me to this chick.

Can someone help me read this? I don´t understand Nfather and Emother and particularly am fuzzy on the last paragraph. I´m sorry; Google doesn´t know what these things are for sure, either.

I totally do the same! It´s hard, because you have to be careful and make sure the kid won´t take it the wrong way, because nobody likes being called out by the teacher (especially if you were really only joking and it´s not that serious an issue) ... but I´m a really sarcastic person! It just happens. EMBRACE THE…

Aww, that´s great. This whole situation has always made me so angry. I remember watching some Oprah episode where she went from talking about teachers who do this with students to recommending a book that was an erotic romance about a teacher with a student (!). THE FACK.

I just watched the teaser trailer linked at the bottom of the article and am now incandescent with rage. Fuck this whole thing, and fuck this piss-poor excuse for ‘journalism’.

“I knew he was trouble,” tee hee! Really? REALLY?

I have to apologize for my other reply to your thread. Not the content, but its length and detail. I was reading Jez at 4 AM last night and I came across this story and it really touched a nerve.

I really thought this one worked, even though I didn´t WANT to listen.

They have an opinion, but they don´t have to use it to hurt people, which appears to be what has been happening for three months or more. They hurt his wife, they hurt him, they hurt other family members. They also harmed his relationships with those people which have nothing to do with them (the parents).

I am so happy for you that you have the kind of parents that would actually listen to something like, 'This is not up for discussion.'

I don´t know this guy´s parents, but that is not how it works with my mother. Perhaps a lot of other people have this kind of parents, as well.

I had a mother I did not talk about sex with. However, I moved back in with her for a brief period while between homes (three months between living in Taiwan and moving to Iceland) and there were plenty of judgements. Without asking, she unpacked my bag, found some ... ahem, sexytime things, and told me there was…

Ooh. That´s tough. I have co-workers who are from many different countries (I teach at an International School) and the one who is closest to her family goes home every 1-2 months when she can get a cheap flight. The rest of us tend to travel 1-2 times per year, on vacation or trips home.

LOL Yeah, it´s like that. Right on, sister.

Arbor Day. Goddamned nature. Steer clear, I say.

Thank you for posting, everyone in this thread. I was feeling sort of out there for not only leaving my hometown, but feeling as if I had to leave the country behind in order to live the life I wanted.

Oh, I love this one!

Omigod, don´t hurt me. I have learned the error of my ways.

This was so disappointing. I´m disabled, and having a hot redhead who could take care of herself and didn´t take any shit despite what people might think of her disability meant a lot to me as a young woman (I collected comics most heavily throughout high school and college).

Not a wedding gown, because I didn´t have a wedding when I got married, but it was a beautiful white dress and I´m still a little sad about it.

All the girls had to wear white dresses at my school for graduation. I picked out a beautiful brocaded pattern in white. After the stupid ceremony, everyone took off their…
