Small curd cottage cheese is weirdly good in jell-o. There’s something about the gelatin that makes the cottage cheese seem really creamy.

My cynical side wonders about the bad idea tho. I mean, Amazon got plenty of media mentions of their new show — more publicity than if they did a tasteful ad — and it’s not like anyone is going to cancel their Amazon Prime subscription over this.

My strategy for dealing with Supermutant Suiciders is to run past Piper and turn around in time to see Piper enveloped by a mini-nuke explosion followed by Piper immediately getting up and dusting herself off. I discovered it by accident but it makes those suiciders a lot more entertaining and a lot less threatening.

CNN and the NYT have been accursedd of “Liberal Bias” enough times that they know to never call out a Republican if they can avoid it.

I remember a company in my home state tried to deal with a low-price competitor by getting rid of a popular buy-one-get-one-free deal in favor of lower prices overall. They took about a year to undo it, people didn’t notice prices being raised back under the roar of the “BOGO is back!” marketing.

This is a good reminder that no sweet potato pie could be good enough to give a cent to Wal-Mart.

I worked at a book store where an employee the managers didn’t like (she definitely had some appropriateness issues, she once spent her lunch in the back room tumbing through the porn mags and didn’t put them back on the shelves, leaving the regional manager to find them when he was taking a tour of the store) found a…

Thing is the blackface of Tropic Thunder came with a decent amount of context. IIRC, we knew before the movie opened the joke behind the use of blackface. The problem is the Zoolander trailer didn’t do that so there’s more room to misjudge.

Yeah but the asshole things he has done does not mean the media hasn’t been getting into dangerous territory of portrayng HIV as something for dirty reckless people, which is what this article was about. It has been a throwback to the 80s.

That’s not at all what I said. We shouldn’t use his HIV status as a sign of what a asshole trainwreck he was and, in the process, portray HIV as a sign that someone is an asshole trainwreck.

Charlie Sheen is an asshole but that doesn’t mean we should feel free to suggest his HIV status is a result of his asshole (or reckless) nature (insinuating that other HIV positive people probably had it coming from being assholes too), use it as proof that he was bisexual (see the Radar report) or that women in his…

The 80s flashback is the “Sheen has it coming because HIV is what dirtbags get” tone to some of the coverage.

Don’t think about the insurance hit. Think about what it would be like to become the focus of Michelle Malkin as an example of unhinged, dangerous angry liberals.

Oh, god, Pointless gif. Yes. I love whoever has been uploading episodes to YouTube.

I reember it being a really cool magazine, for its first couple years. Then it started to look like a once-interesting magazine where all the really interesting staff/writers got hired away for being so interesting.

Give it time. We’ve got one conservative pundit who made her name on her “Those Japs had it coming” book. If an Asian-American Democrat ever becomes prominient enough to be considered a potential presidential candidate (sadly I’m having trouble thinking of potential prospects, the country is so desperately in need for…

I am saying you’re not going to learn how to be a great innovative home chef from watching Food Network anymore because it’s probably hard to convince advertisers to sponsor shows that tell people their products are unnecessary. That might be the case if food co-ops had the money to spend millions on advertising, but…

Anthony Bourdain is basically CNN’s version of Lockup. The guy in charge of CNN today used to be in charge of NBC Universal when MSNBC became the Lockup Channel on weekends.

The problem with the Food Network is that your local farmer’s market and authentic dried chipotles aren’t major advertisers. For a while if you watched, you’d see a segment how easy it is to make a vinegratte from scratch followed by an ad for Wish Bone. Last I checked, there’s a lot less Food Network programming that…

It’s been a while since I saw that episode. I’m due for a rewatch.
