Ben Shapiro’s fetish is letting everyone know which music videos he totally doesn’t masturbate to.

It was a great piece. Also a problem with the way history is taught is how we center white people and institutions as solving America’s racial injustices. Shit like “Lincoln freed the slaves” and “the Supreme Court ended segregation in schools.

These kinds of “bardcore”* adaptations have been popping up more often lately and, to be honest, I kind of love them. I keep waiting for them to grow old or become embarrassing (outside the overbearing white dorkiness of it all) but it hasn’t yet.

If you discount talent/singing shows, it depends on how you define something better. Disposable Outraged Republican Blonde #7 got her start on Survivor before getting a gig on the View, but that’s about all I can think of off of the top of my head.

I can’t speak to the dating reality shows, but as a scholar of The Real World; Jamie Chung and Jacinda Barrett both went on to have moderately successful acting careers.

In his essay about The Real World, Chuck Klosterman said having been a cast member on that show would be the worst kind of fame since you’d get basically no personal benefit but lots of unwanted attention.

The Miz. Started on the Real World and became a star in the WWE.

People always reference doing these shows for “exposure”. Has anyone gone on to something better from these? Something not “reality-based” i guess? 

...the FX sketch comedy series remains iconic...

Mose!

The easiest fix is to take investigative reporters, which most newspaper chains still have, or have access to (said person may have another title, but the newsrooms typically know who has the skill set) and ask them to pinch hit over on the food beat.

Too many newsrooms have a wall between news and features that

One thing I could never get my head around is why the networks didn’t make their own websites be the go to place for streaming their own shows at least 10 years ago, and cut out other options so they could capture a ton of additional ad revenue.

Network TV is still available with antennas in places so they're not SOL with cord cutters. Cable companies are fucked first and foremost and they fucking deserve it. 

What about...

Short answer: “No”

Don’t leave us hanging! Did he eat the sand? How was the sand? HOW MANY STARS WAS THE SAND?!!!

The most delightful part about this whole thing is that she filmed herself. She got herself fired! What a thing of absolute beauty. So much fuckery and idiocy and she is the one who released it to the world.

This is the photo of a man who will unironically wear a 'no fat chicks' sleeveless shirt when he inevitably tips over the 450lb mark.

“ethnic intimidation” = “being non-white around someone who is terrified of everyone who is not white”. It’s like an agoraphobe trying to sue the outdoors for being there.

I’m confused. Like, yeah, it can’t ever hurt to ask, but this is a silly-ass request, right? Fleet sales for a major auto companies can be upwards of a third of total sales in any given quarter.
