I was enraged that this was the first ad of the halftime break, IIRC. So it played EXACTLY when most serious viewers of the actual game leapt up to go to the bathroom or get more beer, food, etc.

Also, the dirty dishes in the sink is the kind of detail that would allow those who yearn to blame the victim to do so…

Yes, but the women must MAKE the grits and gravy for the men to eat. Jesus said so!

True. Her dress is also bad. The bodice is profoundly fug. But all 69 year old women should be able to exude such happy confidence. That's a world worth living in.

I am very confused by the filler use + 70s hair + display of acres of age spots. I am alarmed to discover that one can get age spots on one's legs; I didn't even know that was possible.

As someone whose sister-in-law recently died from her lifelong struggle with opiate addiction — which were way, way too easy for her to get her hands on because of their proliferation across the country — I am physically ill from reading this data.

Agree with those pointing out that getting involved with a minor WHO IS WORKING FOR YOU who is decades younger than you is not cool, it is creepy. Power imbalance, anyone?

Having said that, Don't Look Now is the bomb.

Having said that, everything that's cool about that sex scene is irrelevant to what I understand this…

Pretty sure you are confusing her with Stephanie Meyers, the author of Twilight. James (or whatever her real name is; isn't "E. L. James" a pseudonym?) is British, and unlikely to be Mormon for numerous reasons.

Doesn't it go without saying that you use a microscopic filter to protect all the organisms in the water before you drink it?

Come to think of it, what's the pro-life position on all the organisms that inhabit the human intestinal system? Should we prohibit anti-fungal medications? Perhaps that's the real secret to…

Just to be picky, there doesn't have to be a problem with education and sports at the same college. The problem is the money. If a law was passed that 80% of all revenue generated by sports departments went directly to participating students (possibly including a lifetime health care fund), and coaches could not be…

That's still going to cost the government money. Foster care, prison-like public schools, juvenile facilities, court costs, prison...It costs a lot of money. Being brutal and horrible isn't actually cost-effective, on top of all the other problems with this approach. Even in the presumed preferred Republican…

There's the kind of reasoned discourse that makes America great.

By the way, your definition would include all animals and plants. So am I correct that you live on water and whatever vegetation has withered and died in the wild without human intervention? Do you gladly share your home with ants and spiders?

The fact…

I assumed it was satire. Do you really think somebody took the time to write that in a Deadspin comment for realz? That would just be sad.

So, so sad.

Steps have nothing to do with it. Go read the rule. The "football move" has to do with demonstrating enough control OVER THE BALL to pass it, stretch, whatever. He lost control going down because it got tipped, then bobbled it again at the end.

It was a hell of a catch, but it didn't conform to the actual rule.

I think his/her point was that you can take passages from these ancient religious texts and interpret them however you want. Oddly, they seem to find all sorts of ways to justify power, wealth and misogyny in the 21st century, but not things that would discomfit wealthy men of power.

Huh. It's almost like religion is…

I'm an atheist, but my mother, one of my uncles and my great-grandfather were all Episcopal priests. My dad was a devout Episcopalian. My parents both chose to be cremated. "Christians" don't believe that stuff about needing a body for the ascension (or a lot of other toxic crap). Some denominations believe that,…

Yeah, I think people are attributing innocuous intent where it unwarranted. Facebook wants your clicks. Your clicks are information they monetize. They intentionally limit your ability to customize your experience, in order to maximize the acquisition of the type of data that is most profitable. Zuckerberg…

You're right — there's no possible decent explanation for that. It's a small part. He's a terrific actor, but so is she, and she was the female lead.

I was focused more on Cooper because he was on the Today Show, after the leak hit, and nobody said a peep about it.

Also, too, let's not forget that Bradley Cooper, the man who was paid more than her and shouldn't have been*, was on the show just a few days earlier (after the leak) to promote his movie, and wasn't asked about it at all.

*I haven't fully drilled into all the data on this. Cooper was a producer on the film, so if it…

Except this is more than "privileged white male writes story in which woman exists to make him feel better." A) It's creatively bankrupt — he's told this basic story a ZILLION times already. B) There's not just the age difference between the actors, but the fact that it's clear the actor is the surrogate for the MUCH,…

Wait, it's okay to humiliate your partner as long as your brand is "weird"?

I mean, this is the Gawkerverse. Gossip is a main dish here. He supposedly kept making out with his side pieces in public spaces even though it made her miserable. So open relationship, separate house was apparently not good enough for him. …
