AV Club, like Fox News doesn’t seem to understand that they’re not the target audience for this movie. In an adult movie, the change would be silly. In a movie for kids, it doesn’t seem bad to tell them, “you don’t have to hug or kiss anyone you don’t want to even people you like.” It’s pretty consistent with expert…

“When you’re a prince, they let you do it.”

Now you’ve got me picturing Trump struggling to figure out where to grab a mermaid. 

On the other hand, if some (non-sex-related) company wants to tone down the sexiness of their mascot, they should be allowed to do it without people losing their minds.

We all turn into our parents if we’re not careful.

The latest victim of this treatment is The Little Mermaid, which has apparently seen some songs rewritten to be a better example for young girlbosses everywhere.

Yes, you want her

I hope it didn’t break her. Not because I like the live action Disney remakes, but because it sucks to lose fandom for something you’ve always loved. I hope she she still loves the shit out of a thing she liked and never loses it.

I feel like I just read a Fox News article.

Yeah, Shields’ sexualized child as a response to feminism is flimsy at best. I was around back then, and TV was LOADED with “jiggle” shows- hyper-sexualized, dumbed-down women bouncing around like they’re just a bunch of ninnies. It was all over the place, and this was when feminism was front and center. 

pre-teen sex worker

Is the site sentient? Did it do anything? If your coworker says something dumb, even if you disagree with it, can I hold their words against you?

You realize that I mentioned the site, and not the author, right?

“You will never see me on camera with my shirt off”

Hmm, will I be clamoring to see a new comedy special from one of the most prolific and hilarious stand-up comedians of all time, or should I trust the comedic barometer of a hack blogger I’ve never heard of who writes 500-word blurbs on a zombie website?

It sounds like he’s kinda going easy on him. 

I read all of these jokes in Chris Rock’s familiar oddly gravely voice.
Pookie still slays.
Will Smith got the Oscar.
Chris Rock got new material to keep people interested a year later.

Smith smacked Rock full in the face on one of the most watched shows of the year. Smith put himself in this position so I don’t care if Rock makes jokes about this, at least for awhile. Part of Smith’s consequences he has to deal with is putting himself in the crosshairs of a comic.

“If I’m honest, I can’t say that any of these just made me crack up laughing, but I know delivery has a lot to do with it and it’s hard to translate a joke in writing. However, if these are the kinds of jokes we’re in for, I’m not too sure I’ll be clamoring to watch this special live. Will you?”

Will Smith showed his ass and gave Chris Rock license to drag his ass at every opportunity whether the joke lands or not!  Get ‘em Chris!
