it's an iconic photo of an impromptu moment that occurred after our country's worst terrorist attack. someone using it without permission and then being sued over it is definitely very American though.

I think it's a bit shady to have "rights" to that particular photo, but oh well.

as long as you recognize ASU/Boone area is a wonderful little progressive hamlet in the middle of the most beautiful area east of the Mississippi, we can be friends.

I assume the .gif is for the "adjunct" part and not the "ASU" part. If I'm wrong, fuck you.

I'll be honest: I'm a litle impressed at the level of insane, crazed vitriol this man can emit over such a short span. There are actually a few I will have to remember (unmitigated monster, monument to modern self-absorption, fraudulently tanned) for later.

I don't think any of these people know what they're talking about.

what's it like to be a brainless mouthpiece?

a little melodramatic, are we?

it's difficult for me to think of anyone in the world more worthy of the title of "bitch" than a tween/teenage girl. they are scary in ways that older women can't even aspire to.

so... entertainment directed at teenage girls is above criticism?

merely being obese is bad for your health, and despite all of the feelgoodery that we're trying to foster here, it's not even a fact that you can argue. Here is the Wikipedia page on obesity-associated morbidity, and before you dismiss it completely based on LOL Wikipedia!, all of the facts are sourced.

completely transparent bitterness is pretty ugly.

imply being fat is unhealthy in some way

you're a monster (apparently)!

tell me she is as healthy at her original weight as she is in the final weight. tell me that.

exactly, so everyone losing their minds over a "PRO-GAY POP ANTHEM!!" in 2013 is a bit weird to me.

honestly, this dude writing a pro-gay anthem is a no-lose scenario. With acceptance for gay rights at the highest it's ever been, and how gay pop music is right now (I don't mean that pejoratively, I mean pop music right now is generally gay-friendly), and how popular this guy is, he couldn't lose. No one who hates…

so has Jezebel reached the "call out every single racist in the entire world" phase? because that seems like the only reason to have a story about this irrelevant person.

this is how being anti-cultural appropriation can eat itself - while assholes wearing headdresses or other cultural touchstones are repellent and completely ignorant, this can sometimes lead to inadvertent ghetto-ization (is this a word?), seen here by the comments of our POC friends being told their life experience…

that's a lot of words on something this ridiculous.
