Is there a viewing audience for "performance art" or is it essentially only followed by the artists themselves? Honest question, I just mean I know non-painters who follow the art world, non-actors who love theater, etc. but I've never met anybody who would claim to be a connoisseur of this kind of stuff.

From an irrationality of view standpoint, sure, but from a "would I like to spend time with this person" standpoint I've met some otherwise pleasant people with silly religious ideas, I've never met a 9/11 truther I could stand to be around for thirty seconds.

That's kind of a bummer (if a mild one, all things considered, at least he's not a 9/11 truther or something). I like Griffin and think he has the charisma to be at least an SNL host level crossover star.

Brandon added that he will also be suing for emotional damages after being referred to as "Backe, the fuck-up."

Best new show of the season. Day 513. Two hours late. Wearing a napkin as a shirt. Violently high.

Nicely done.

I'm so glad I put up with the new Kinja at least long enough not to miss this.

You are confusing the burden of proof for a criminal case and a libel lawsuit. If Oberst were under criminal accusation of rape (which he is not) the burden would be on the state to prove he committed the crime because, as you say, he is innocent until proven guilty. However, for him to sue somebody for libel be has…

"I had been thinking you would ignore this story but then you didn't but through convoluted reasoning I am somehow still right."

So, I mean, normally I think the whole "homophobes are secretly gay" meme is pretty overdone but holy shit is that a lot of thought given to a gay penis by supposedly straight dudes.

I like this.

This deserves so many more stars.

Just wait til the next twist in this scandal where Richie Incognito comes out as gay and football pundit brain matter rains down on all of us.

Posting this dozens of times won't make your opinion any less ignorant and poorly-received.

He has only been charged with one so far, no? If he gets convicted of seven rapes that will very possibly total up to a life sentence.

I'm sure it does vary, and yeah it does seem in such contrast to all the outward support for the Sam announcement. To some extent I think that's a product of youthful players; for better or worse there is a disconnect in more recent generations between homophobic language and actual intolerance. Many young people who…

Seriously, how dare Deadspin bring race into this story about a white guy calling a black guy "nigger" and "dirty Pakistani!"

I thought he'd bounced around because of a rep for dirty play but in retrospect now the locker room issues seem more likely, and I didn't know that about his college days. I meant more on a daily basis it seems like he got a lot of backslapping from his teammates and obviously never got the "anything racist or…

This is why I was a stoner in school. I didn't set out to smoke a bunch of pot, I just hung out with the kids who were pleasant and fun to be around and didn't give a fuck about the high school heirarchy and that ended up being who it was.
