If you think this is me getting bent out of shape, you would really not like to see me truly upset. I'm not sure when "expressing an opinion I feel emotional about" turned into something we don't want to do on the internet for fear of "looking bad." I don't see anywhere that I've been anything other than mildly

I think it's extremely reductive to say No Doubt was popular because of "the blonde girl." They are a band. They directly addressed this issue very, very early in their career, in the Don't Speak video and in a variety of interviews, and Gwen is NOT happy being "the blonde girl."

Touche, sir. Touche.

I'm not saying it's not a joke, I'm saying it's a shitty joke that demeans the band. The headline alone would have been fine - that's poking good fun at exactly the situation you described, which I agree is very true, if silly. My issue is that while reporting who is involved in the lawsuit, the article explicitly

Way to be a reductive asshole! I asked if the joke was worth it, and I don't think it was, did I say they shouldn't joke at all? There are plenty of humorous ways to address this absolutely ridiculous situation without brushing aside the accomplishments of those involved.

Right, so instead of helping correct that and give musicians the respect they deserve, they... didn't. Jarnalism! Was the joke really worth degrading their careers? They directly addressed the issue in the Don't Speak video, and have talked about it extensively since then. Gwen might not hate the spotlight, but I

I've never seen her have any ego, ever. She's humble and very supportive of the rest of her band. They directly addressed the issue in the Don't Speak video.

Yeah, this article is stupid. Way to reduce three musician's 26-year careers with the band to background players, Kotaku. Real jarnalisms happening here. Adrian, Tom and Tony are equally as responsible for their sound and success as Gwen, damn.

"No Doubt, an act comprising Gwen Stefani and some dudes no one can name..."

Chip Kidd's design for Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicles is the reason I became a graphic artist. His work is stunning, and to think that it may become a lost art form is depressing. A million years ago I would wander through book stores and wait for books with interesting spines to catch my eye, though those days

I wouldn't call Total Recall an exploitation flick by any stretch of the imagination, and I certainly don't think they assumed the three-breast reveal would remain one of the most enduring images from the movie.

I believe I heard an uncensored "fucking" slip out of Stewart when I hear this last night, haha, but I'm glad I didn't imagine it. Very good, then.

Just because you haven't heard of anyone doing it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I don't shop at Urban specifically because of their owner's political donations, and I know dozens of people who do the same, who weren't influence by me.

Please let this happen! FWIW, I've spent time on the bouncy things for kids, when I was a church volunteer for youth events. We put them through the ringers, constantly exceeding what stuff was supposed to be doing, heh, and usually came out unscathed. You need to make a portable, rentable version of Ninja Warrior,

The heading for the specs says Nexus 7, not whatever the name of this crap SmartWatch is.

Nope, I didn't not cry. I made it until the moderator walked up to the podium, so, like, four? seconds?

That show tried so hard to make him unsexy, but as a normal dude, yes please.

Boooooo.
