Wait, you’re saying that at one point it was time to pay attention to Piers Morgan?

Oh, this is the best.

I don’t know what the OP didn’t like, but for myself (based on a quick rewatch):

Mmmm. It actually achieved the feat of making me not interested in a film I’d been pretty enthusiastic about seeing - it really is a shitty trailer. I’ll probably still see the film -although I’m now leaning towards seeing what the reviews say first - but it definitely didn’t do its job, assuming that job was to…

Eh, if you just put ‘The Glaswegian’ it’s kind of multipurpose, though. In practice you can apply it to any Glaswegian you (don’t) like.

I would say ‘cadging’ also has a hint of ‘constantly and tediously persuading other people to give/buy you things’.

I mean, I’m not rushing after the manufacturers with pitchforks or anything - I’m mildly surprised at myself for being bothered by it, to be honest. I think it’s partly because DB’s death was recent and seemed very upsetting to a lot of people, and at the time I found myself thinking a lot about his daughter, and how…

I think we both agree that it’s a reference to DG’s inferred death; I just find it tasteless to slap that on a t-shirt given that the inference was only made because of DB’s real one.

But in this context you can’t have a t-shirt that says ‘Ha ha, I thought David Gest was dead, but he wasn’t!’ without the subtext ‘It was actually David Bowie who was dead.’ Imagine being David Bowie’s teenage daughter, and that t-shirt existing in the world - I can’t imagine it wouldn’t feel like it was about your…

Well, it was David Bowie, though, in that he was the person whose death sparked the whole incident upon which the t-shirt is based. Which makes the t-shirt pretty tasteless even before it was also true of David Gest.

Whose medical records?

Given that around one in three women will have an abortion at some point in her lifetime, and he’s been married three times and reportedly dated various other women as well, it’s... statistically improbable that none of those women have ever had an abortion. He may not know about it, but it seems more likely than not…

In some circumstances, it’s requiring an ‘official’ - and therefore costly - form of disposal where one isn’t really required. I mean, I’ve miscarried twice, once at just shy of 6 weeks, and once at what on paper was 10-and-a-half weeks (but in fact the embryo never measured anything like that far along), and both…

She could use donor eggs and then she’d be in with a decent shot. I bet she wouldn’t admit it, though.

Nerd and proud!

‘Deadspinning’ and ‘Jezebelling’, surely?

I have honestly never understood this either. And the only explanation I’ve ever seen offered is basically ‘because the police are so bad at investigating sexual assault’ - which, yes, that’s not an unreasonable point, but the answer to it surely isn’t to expect institutions of higher education to magically be better…

Check out Hyperbole and a Half, that’s where it’s from.

I LOVE the Throw Down!
