I think it's a combination of both. I think she thinks she is trolling and being clever and really she is spiraling. I think that in her mind its mostly an act and she has the world fooled. And in some small sense she may be right; she may be successfully hiding a sobbing, angry, or just complacent existence away from…

I'm not sure if you're suggesting the KKK receives government funding. This school appears to, which is the KKK example falls flat. The school can't discriminate based on race. They can do it on sexual orientation because it's not a protected class.

The fact that they are within their legal rights to expel her doesn't count against their assholery for actually doing it. In any case, she didn't "come out" exactly. She confided in a counselor and the counselor narc'ed her.

I think if we're going to start criticizing random TV shows in post-revolutionary Egypt we need to be given more context to do it. Unfortunately both the blog entry and the cited article are written in the "Anita Sarkeesian" style that has been gaining traction in recent years. Basically: unconcerned with cultural…

You forgot all the wild sex Danny was having with Joey and Jesse, which is the only logical reason for them to be living there.

The original story has heavy Christian themes. The mermaids are said to live hundreds of years, but unlike humans when they die there is no afterlife.

The biggest change is in the final act. With the prince set to marry another woman, the mermaid's sisters trade their hair to the sea witch and acquire a dagger. They…

Here's a better look at the guy playing Superman. For research reasons, of course. (There is no sex or nakedness in this video but it is still probably NSFW.)

I think that's happening because rip-off porn is more likely to come up in search results if it parrots the title.

Question : Do other male animals chase young mates? If so why would this evolutionary change exist for humans but not them?

Careful there. I'm not sure which "you" you are referring to. As a community there is not widespread condemnation of Obama. It's really not fair to assume LGBT are acting "whiney and entitled" just because of something some person claiming to speak for them said.

There is actually more than one ending out there. You may want to read up on the others to see if you'd like them better.

I kind of chuckled about it but then I felt pretty guilty. I mean, this girl is no saint but she was still just a teenager, I think maybe a junior or senior in high school at the time. I really feel kind of dirty after watching the clip and laughing about it. I think someone needed to turn those cameras off and get…

I get the desire to laugh at this, but also have to wonder if there's a threshold where making fun of a drug addicted 16 year old (as she was when this unfolded) crosses over into bullying. The phone call where she is crying and leaving the message for Nancy Jo Sales is mortifying. I was never a famous teenager and my…

And speaking of "You have to know something about Louisiana to get it" moments, here's the shirt the mayor was talking about in the article I linked:

This made me LOL. Spot. On. There is an entire news article on NOLA.com about this from a while back: http://www.nola.com/politics/index…

I would like a Storm movie. Specifically, one where Storm is NOT played by Halle Berry. Berry is a terrific actress in some roles, but her interpretation of Storm is IMO far off the mark.

It's nearly 20 years old now (!!!) but if you haven't seen it, Heavenly Creatures (not "Beautiful Creatures") is a great example of a movie starring women that doesn't trade down its subject matter. Before Peter Jackson started making movies featuring mostly men living in Middle Earth, he made this masterpiece. If…

You might also need to mention the movie might scar you for life. Not recommended for anyone with claustrophobia. :)

I think emoticons are fine and even possibly more effective in some circumstances than sentences. You really have to know your audience. The point of email is to communicate, not provide literature. If an emoticon does that quickly and the audience is okay with it, then its fine. The real issue isn't the occasional…

This is not only shitty, it's arguably illegal if the information being published turns out to be false.
