If this were a male, he’s be UNDER the jail. But the heteronormative world we live in? Never ever sees women has anything but sexual toys for the pleasure of men. And if a young man gets “inducted” into manhood at a very young age by a predatory older woman? That’s just part of the GAME.

Anyone who has watched more than a season of ANTM just lives in fear of the day Tyra knocks on their door with a camera crew demanding to know why they stopped watching, so they keep on so they don’t have to live with that fear. It’s going ti be a challenge for the models someday... or a segment on her new talk show.

Wait? Black teas causes kidney stones? Aw, my husband is prone to kidney stones so I’ll have to cut back on the black teas we drink.

I think a bigger factor is that HBO gives him a lot of support, he doesn’t have to worry about pissing off advertisers and being on HBO means he can do more long form stuff since he doesn’t have the kind of time contraints a Comedy Central show faces.

I’m done with comedic foils on panels after a few months of The Nightly Show (not that I can stop from watching) they usually just derail the conversation with their need for attention.

Unfortunately, TNN isn’t just airing in a competitive environment. It’s also facing the expectations built up by years of Stewart’s Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Kilbourne’s Daily Show didn’t have anything different to offer, Kilborne’s joke choices tened to be obvious. Stewart completely turned the franchise…

IMO, LW is still not a very good moderator. He’s really bad about stopping mansplainers from taling over the female guests. Rappaport’s a good example, it happens way too often and its usually a comedian talking over a guest who is an actual expert in the topic.

It’s improved but it’s still capable of having rage-inducingly-stupid panels like last night. Jon Stewart used to read the book before interviewing the author. Is it too much to ask four people to read a NYT article before discussing it? Everyone sounded like they only saw the clips of the the article being reported…

Is anyone else having a Degrassi flashback to the time Caitlin tried to help Spike figure out how to use a home pregnancy test, surprised as how complicated they were? IIRC, Spike was overwhelmed just at the realization that the different tests had different requirements, some requiring she wait a day to use her first…

Yeah I thought that too...wasn’t it clear what the reporter was actually trying to do?

I wouldn’t say he’s not quick on his feet as much as more of a generational thing, Cox’s question reads like something a former Gawker writer would ask (yes, that’s deliberate) with hints at what the question was really about but expecting the subject to pick up on those subtle clues. A lot of people don’t communicate…

My husband commented that it seemed odd to him that Deborah Harry was a guest on The Muppet Show. He was old enough to dismiss it as a kiddy show when it aired and not the kind of person who would hear it wasn’t really a kiddy show, so I had to explain how it Harry was a perfect fit.

Yeah, I can handle her getting grown up roles but it’s difficult on the same show where I saw her as a little girl. The UK Shameless was so hard to watch when little Debbie grew up and became a teenager exploring sexuality.

She and Marcie spent a lot of time fighting over Charlie Brown, though it never got bitter because they never seemed to take the other seriously as a rival, so maybe that was all a show as they made Chuck their beard.

I think it started when she had a debate on gun control with Tom Selleck. IIRC, he was an NRA spokesperson at the time of the Columbine shooting and she challenged him on how he could support a group that was opposed to (I forget what but it was something most people support). Selleck claimed he was ambushed and…

Actually, its Gretchen Carlson’s work. She’s the one who wants to ensure she can spend December driving her kids around looking for nactivity scenes.

I miss The Onion News Network. That show was amazing.

Huh, I remember seeing a British TV movie, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? that I realize may have been inspired by Mary Bell. (A&E used to air British TV movies at the time and I loved it.) It was about a woman trying to start a new life after murdering another child as a child, she met a man and it was going well…

I am seriously worried that if Trump takes the nomination the media will start swooning themselves over his “refreshing candor” kinda like they way the brused aside all the problems with Bush by talking about how charming he was.

Xanadu is a secretly great movie because it has a spark of inspiration despite being frequently terrible and for reveling in trends that were notoriously short lived like it was going to be big forever. It has a visual style that predicted the look and style of music videos and the excessive turn Broadway was about to…
