This is still, in my opinion, one of the most compelling stories chronicling the unraveling of an online hoax:

Purple Rain isn't even way more popular (today) than the other 17 classic Prince songs in regular heavy rotation at clubs and still on the radio. Purple Rain is Purple Rain because the film was OH SO AMAZING and had Prince. Purple Rain still has a whole life in addition to being a song. Almost no artist has a Purple…

"when no one's around"... because it's like, secret. And they are NOT just doing it because they want to show it to Everyone.

"Churches loan out their edifices..."

Congratulations: you just became the 2016 GOP frontrunner.

All fetuses should be allowed to carry a concealed handgun to defend themselves against abortion doctors.

Then he needs a new therapist, because stuff like this makes him appear to be one sad, uncentered man. And that’s a real shame, because his talent as a writer and sportscaster is unquestioned.

Such a smart, talented man, who somehow also excels in alienating people to a profound degree. Listen, there are plenty of bullies and plenty of idiots on Twitter, and the truly smart decision is to never engage with either. Olbermann also seems to personify the notion that humility cannot be taught, but it can be…

Teacher here weighing in. Yes - some administrators might not do what they're supposed to. Some teachers may not do what they're supposed to. It's disgusting and embarrassing when adults don't intervene. I can't tell you the number of times I tried to report, contact home, intervene, involve administrators and was…

Oh - and Eileen Fisher! On the $$$ side but can be found at real gal prices on sale/thrifting etc.

When a defendant's Barbie dolls are used as evidence, that is probably a sign she should not be tried as an adult.

I found out last month that my husband of twelve years has been having an affair with a nineteen-year-old co-worker. When I confronted him about it, he somehow found a way to make it all about my failures as a wife and mother. I mean, I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's almost impressive how he managed to take…

What about potatoes, Pinkham? I've become pretty found of the pizza at one of my local joints with "sour cream base topped with rosemary roasted baby red potatoes [thinly sliced], green onions, bacon with mozzarella and cheddar cheese." Am I an abomination?

If the Grammys are such a joke, Kanye, why do you allow your music to be considered for an award?

Now that I got past her hair, holy crap she has the same delivery as Louise Belcher!

Wow, I had not heard about, nor remembered any occurrence of this from back when it happened. I'm not excusing or defending her, but blackface in the 70's, 80's, hell even the 90's, was not the taboo it is today (still a terrible thing mind you, but it was not uncommon). An example that reminded me of this a few…

She is the wizard queen I someday aspire to.

"Taking a selfie with Jesus" sounds like a euphemism for someone dying.

That kitty is very pointy.
