"Oh noes, god forbid the kids see naked people! That's the WORST POSSIBLE THING!" - American Puritanical Logic.

They don't have to look in his windows. Isn't telling people what they can and cannot display in and outside of their house because of who it offends a slippery slope to bad things? It's weird porn, not a threat.

I can't manage to muster up anger? Tell your kids their neighbor is an asshole and stop turning it into a production. It'll only make them more curious and point a neon sign at the fact that the porn is something "forbidden". Young kids tend to go straight for the things that make mommy and daddy mad, I hear.

Sorry, you should be out of the league on the first offense for a domestic violence conviction. I thought these assholes were supposed to be "role models" for young boys? Oh wait. There's the problem. They are.

Let's talk about representation of anyone in the LGBT community that isn't a white gay male on television or in movies..........

Whiteface.

Sigh. As a child who was abandoned by her biological mother and who knows that her siblings were injured and almost kidnapped because of her neglect, I can't agree that poverty is a valid excuse for this kind of behavior. I'm not saying it's an easy situation to be in or a fair one, but honestly, if something had

What days were those?

I was adopted after being in foster care through an adoption agency with religious ties that doesn't permit gay couples to adopt through them. I found that out at a fundraising gala and I'm pretty sure they regret sitting me next to their programming director since she got an EARFUL from me. They'll never get a dime

I always preemptively cringe when I see Jezebel covering Broadway, it's usually a train wreck lacking in any context or knowledge of the industry, but I'm glad this made it here! So exciting, primarily because she is an awesome singer and will probably be great in the role. She was one of the few good things about

Because condoms never, ever, ever break and people (WOMEN) are never pressured or coerced into not using them. I agree with you that you should ALWAYS use protection in a situation like this but blaming the victims is wrong. This guy committed a horrible crime and he should be the one we're focused on shaming.

I don't get all the disappointment? It's a two minute teaser. Calm down, guys. We'll get to hear them sing. We've still got 5 months left for them to promote this baby.

I think you're having a little bit of confirmation bias here. Not all stoners are annoying, not all people who smoke are obsessed or smoke every day. You just probably don't know these people are into it because they don't make it their entire life. Does it really affect your life that much if other people like to

I don't care about feeling holier than thou. I do work in the industry and have friends who are out of work because of the closing.

Oh, we hate-watched Smash with LOTS of beer.

Sorry, the wording of that definitely made it unclear what I meant. What I meant is, there is a belief that I've certainly encountered on Broadway very very often that people who regularly work on Broadway, even those in featured or leading roles, support themselves only with their acting or that they have a

Eh, I disagree that people are that disapassionate about it. I work in NY theatre and have many friends involved with this show. Facebook statuses and private conversations would indicate that yes, people are very upset and nervous about where the next job is coming from. It's a natural human reaction to a

Theatre is hard work, even at the levels higher than merch. It's not quite as simple as, "you're so lucky! you're living the dream!". That mentality is very naive. And yes, I worked merch too many years ago when I was in college. And I did cry when my shows closed because I liked getting paid, not because I was in

The theatre doesn't fire everyone, but there sure isn't any work to do when a theatre sits dark for months and months.

That doesn't make it less sad that there are people out of work who may not find other jobs soon since the job market kind of sucks right now? I could give a crap about how good the show is. It's dick-y to be smug and happy that people are losing work because of their rage at somebody being involved in a really almost
