I was waiting to see if someone pointed that out. Makes that Casablancas quote awful ironic. 

I was in my early 20's then, so not necessarily as inclined to deconstuct it as I would be with the same premise now. I watched a few episodes. It felt squiky, but I wasn’t quite able to frame why at the time.

So much toxicity. So little valuation of self. Absolutely no unpacking just what in our culture drove them to…

Oh Hell No!

The most important question is whether they smell like they look.

The only thing worse for body image than this horrible show was The Swan. Remember that shit show?

Don’t forget the meth.

“Shut up! Shut up, you American. You always talk, you Americans. You talk and you talk and say ‘let me tell you something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’. Well, you’re dead now, so shut up!”

My favorite Monte Python scene of all time.

the way he was able to lead was second-to-none.

After that bs, I didn’t even bother to read his other choices. Hitler “led” with fear, totalitarianism, brainwashing levels of propaganda, and genocide. I’m not surprised that someone who considers that leadership also listed Columbus.

The rule itself may not put them out of business, but it certainly bolsters the efforts of going after them here. Which also happens.

That’s certainly your prerogative.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
