I was all set to fire up my trusty Internet Argument Starter but you're right. Three months and it'll be $29 on Amazon with free shipping so...meh.

Hurray! Still no people of color in your fictional, not-based-in-reality, completely-free-to-make-up-the-rules-as-you-go-along virtual world. I'm super stoked to be deliberately excluded from yet another popular entertainment offering.
What does it say that a young woman is compelled to hide her genuine talent underneath a rancid pile of sexual objectification, minstrel antics, and circus stunts?
A) You are the occasional sexual partner of a professional athlete.
Obviously, that's not what I'm saying so no you are not correct in saying that.
The same team that blew the whistle, Evergreen Park, was been accused of doing the exact same thing they accused JRW of doing. Spare us the pretensions to moral authority, the adults did what adults do: find a way to get the desired result regardless of whatever else. Taking one more thing away from these particular…
What is the point of pondering a counter-factual? Also, the shoe is almost never on the other foot. In the end, poor black kids never get the better of wealthy, white suburban kids as evidenced by this particular incident. And the public educational system. And the criminal justice system.
Holy crap, gamers are assholes.
What is this Iran/Contra?
Ringers? You mean better than the other team? We could debate which group, the all-black kids primarily from the south side of Chicago, or the white kids primarily from not the south side of Chicago are ultimately getting the short end of whatever stick is handy but should we?
We'll never know now:)
I think Amy Schumer is really funny so I'm going to reserve judgement on this.
What suburban kids always gain: a pass on their own mediocrity.
"Sorry, poor black kids. Enjoy returning to your lives of privation, disenfranchisement and disparate outcomes in that DMZ known as the South Side of Chicago. - Hey, wealthy suburban kids, here's something else you didn't earn!"
I thought the rule was you get immediately asked to leave the show because there's zero tolerance for violent behavior... if you're black.
Fair play. I'd have thought people would have more of a problem casting a non-white actor as PP and frankly so would I. PP is Spiderman but so is Miles Morales in his own authentic way. That's preferable to let's just pretending no one will notice. Back to GL, their biggest mistake was making it Hal Jordan and not Jon…
Paul Giamatti is Heller and no one plays an puckered asshole quite like him so maybe they'll at least get that?
Beats by Dre: Michel'le, Dee Barnes, the former owners of Monster headphone patents and a host of video girls I suspect.
GL's back story is actually pretty simple in terms of comic origins. Anybody who's worthy can wear the "magic ring". Full stop.
