shut up Doug.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the idea that it's somehow rude not to answer a text within three minutes of receiving it.

I guess if you're brown you only need to kill one person to be labeled a terrorist.

Oh my yes.

They've proven pretty conclusively that false confessions under duress (like with Patrick Lumumba) are a staggeringly-common occurrence.

Regardless, good for her. The UK press can go fuck itself for its "she's obviously guilty" bullshit that has no basis in fact.

Well something doesn't necessarily have to be intended as racist in order to perpetuate racism (nor does being a marginalized person preclude the possibility that you're participating in your own marginalization). Especially when it adds to the aggregate message of "black = criminal." I mean, I won't claim to

I disagree. The "voice" of the goat sounds like an African American male (as you said, it's probably Tyler) and lineups are supposed to only include people who look alike. The goat comes off as a racist caricature of an African American male. I don't see how this is supposed to spoof the whole angry black

Silly. Vulgar. Nonsensical. Juvenille. Pathetic. All words that popped in my head while watching these ads. I think Odd Future just Bamboozled us. Or maybe themselves. And in Mountain Dew's bid to be the edgiest pop product out there they bypassed common sense. Absolute garbage. Odd Future indeed. What is wrong these

Have we not heard of neo-colonialism and internalization? Jesus. Who cares that they are Black and perhaps that Black folk created this ad. It was created for a mainstream audience, it plays into anti-blackness, and we're sitting here trying to possibly make sense of it by pointing out that the criminal Blacks are Odd

I don't think using the fact that the commercial was based on an offensive artist's vision is a good excuse. People are going to view it in their own context, not the context of someone else's work or sense of humor.

They are providing a service, sexual or not, what's the big deal if someone reviews that service? It's only a problem if you view sex as something either bad or sacred, neither of which are realistic, when people employ a gardener, they aren't buying the gardener, then why is it that people claim that people buy women

Exactly. Escorts are in the business of providing a service, just like any number of people in specialized industries - dentists, mechanics, piano teachers, florists, what have you - and all of those sorts of people get reviewed on Yelp and other sites. There are loads of ways that sex workers are dehumanized; Yelp

Bee-uuuu-tiful!!

My husband and I looked up reviews on yelp before choosing a marriage therapist. I guess that makes her like an entrée, too? No. No it does not.

They say these sites are safer for both escorts and clients, as Escorts can verify that the client isn't an axe murderer by his standing on the escort review and his reviews on site. On the flip side the client can make sure he/she is making a sound investment based on how well the escort is reviewed. In a sense both

Wait, so what's the problem with clients reviewing and sharing information about the products/services they use?

Um, this is nothing new. There have been escort review websites for as long as the internet has been around. In fact, there are also websites reviewing different areas where street prostitutes frequent.

Oh boy do I hate this article.

I lost 10 IQ points reading this article.

I mean, she can certainly wear whatever she wants, but I think it's kind of bad faith to ask for his opinion and then trash him all over the internet for giving it. And on a more specific note, although I don't think that a woman has to wear a skirt to wow a dude, and I can imagine pants that would be appropriate for
