God the internet has ruined me. I skipped ahead to the money shot at 5.55.

Hey, I can! Bully or no bully (in high school) this just has the vibe of sex worker shaming. You're just a whore, I'm the real girlfriend! Pimps are one thing, hos are another (as if we didn't know)! Not into it.
Yeah, it's... it's odd because I genuinely believe these are all real feelings, maybe for the first time on TV (reality shows included). But... I'm not sure kids watching do. I already feel like there's this idea that a feeling doesn't really exist unless it's tweeted, or selfied with the right filter. It's odd.
I don't care if it's satire. If you're that damned bad at writing satire, you should be punished severely, too.
On the other hand, Kate Moss actually faced some repercussions for her drug use (hurting only herself – at least in terms of the industry).
Yeah I agree with a lot of this. It's structural. Models have few rights – it's insane that underage models don't get the same protections as child actors – and it's not simply that there's always a younger, thinner girl ready to take their place. It's misogyny. From men and women. We laugh when they fall on the…
'They really should have spoken up if they truly felt uncomfortable.'
I know this goes without saying, but every ridiculous line about his 'art' or even consent faces one pretty glaring counter-argument – if he doesn't think what he's doing is wrong, then why the hell didn't he have Obama take off his clothes and blow him during their photo shoot?
I love her (though I now can't tell the difference between her and the new, dimpled Weekend Update co-host), but I felt the piece concentrated too much on sex workers as a punchline. We get it. Suburban mom killing prostitutes. There are also drug dealers and a number of other available skeezy types there. I know, I…
I was ready to like it but found it boring. Yeah, okay, that's a song she sings and something happening in politics. Congratulations, SNL! You put two ideas together in one sketch! Which I suppose was more than they did for the rest of the episode. I'm neither here nor there on Miley but she really can't do much…
Something tells me when he says 'during sex' he means a very specific, likely short, part of sex. As in, penetration. As in, the majority of women don't orgasm from it alone.
'As a rather ironic aside, he's never struck me as a man's man, certainly not in terms of physical presence or voice projection.'
I know someone who did this with Lost. She just laughed throughout the entire thing, both because it was (admittedly) pretty bad but also because she could tell the superfans wouldn't be happy with the finale.
As much as I want to agree (at least on this site), ignoring a multibillion-dollar industry is not going to make it go away. But it would be cool if every article on it focused on exploited models, sleazy agents and rampant slave labour rather than 'Whee a pretty dress!'
#3. Beijing, Mumbai, Dubai, Seoul. All great places for checking out your new billionaire overlords.
'But it's also boring to see many, many different white women and the same black, white and Latina faces over and over again.'
Call me when there are as many of these as there are unsolicited dick pics.
1. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If every single story here about domestic abuse or spousal murder resulted in the sort of ire MRAs lob at all women over this sort of news item, then there'd be a point to the comparison.
I can be found checking Facebook while my toddler says her first words feet away.
I'm glad someone mentioned this! Some journalists do this in published Q&As, too, even though I'm pretty sure saying 'good question' is some tactic interviewees use to endear themselves to the interviewer.
