Mark, I'm also a faithful hate-reader of Dear Prudie. Did you notice the comments on the Slate FB post of her letter? 500 of the most ignorant "didn't read the actual letter" comments ever. It's the worst mixture of internet people + cat people. Crazy Cray.
ay yai yai. It's really hard to take Nascar seriously when the multimillionaire drivers are getting into shoving matches because *Gasp* They crashed into each other during a race!
But....But...But....I'm not ready!
It took an unfortunate length of time, but I finally came to the realization that McDonalds does not taste as good as other burgers. I've been driving the extra few miles to a five guys for a couple years now. Are others having the same realization?
If I was going to pick an "earnest" grain, it wouldn't be quinoa. Maybe "oat" or "millet"?
My worry about running downhill is that eventually, you'd have to go back uphill. Uphill is bad.
Well, yes- this all could have been avoided by NFL/Goodell/Ravens doing the right thing months ago. But they didn't, and I'm not giving them a pass. I'm just saying with last week's options, there was really no good way to handle the Rihanna part and they would've been slammed either way.
Not saying it was the right decision, but had they aired the song as scheduled (During a Ravens game!), they probably would've been accused of profiting from a domestic violence victim. Which, PR-wise, isn't great. It was definitely a damned if you do or don't situation.
Yeah, if they really thought the video being released would make people "understand" the low-suspension....that backfired.
Thank You for writing this! I've been waiting all morning for the Jezebel reaction and I'm disappointed to read a rant instead of a well-thought-out piece. I've found most normal fans (and sports media!) have been on the right side of this- calling for Goodell to change the suspension or resign as commissioner. Slowly…
I remember in the first season when his appendix had to come out and he was all guilt-ridden over his drunk driving and lying about it. Oh, (not so) Bright.
I'm surprised that Kanye is allowing North to be (intentionally) famous. Hasn't he made many declarations on not wanting her to get sucked into that crazy life?
I'm from upstate NY so I've read several news stories over the past few years about him doing these dirt track races. He's been driving these sprint cars on the reg for a few years, and my question is- Why? He makes a bajillion dollars doing it on Sunday, why does he risk his life (and commit so much time) driving at…
I clicked over because I thought this would be the unveiling of a new type of hair-bun. I don't really know WHAT I was imagining the new bun would be...
Thank You! I heard this on the radio today and was excited because I was just talking to my friend about genres of music and their treatment of women as objects. When I googled the lyrics, this post is one of the first results to pop up. Then I was excited because I am a Jezebel prophet and Jezebel knew about this…
3 drinks to blow a .09? A 6'3 football player? I don't think so.
What I want to know is when everyone decided plagiarism was cool? Both of these were posted the same day. Who can you trust if you can't trust your entertainment news sites?
