I’m guessing (hoping) that this is a tone-deaf marketing team that thinks that because Matt Damon is the more familiar face he’s how to get butts into theater seats for western audiences. The directors don’t necessarily have that much control on trailers and promotions, which is why there are so many bad and…

Could be! My mother has wine allergies as well, so I figured it might be something similar. Though her hands and face swell up and I’m lucky to not have that reaction...yet. But I am willing to experiment a little to find out!

I need way more than 2 drinks when I’m around my family.

When I drink wine I usually end up with a terrible headache before I finish the glass. It’s like a skip the warm mellow pre-drunk and got right into hangover. It seems to be wine-specific, however, as it takes many more cocktails to get to the same place. Beer doesn’t even register in my system. I hate the taste and…

Me too!

You never stop for a moment of self reflection when you’ve offended someone? You never go, “Hey. Why are they offended? Was I maybe being an asshole and didn’t realize it?” Because if you really don’t do that I highly recommend it. Seeing something from someone else’s perspective can be great and can make you a better…

People can be offended by some asinine petty shit, sure. But I don’t think that it’s a big shocker that it is offensive to use the word retard as an insult. I don’t believe South Park should be banned or that we should start censoring everything willy nilly. But I do think that if everyone was a little more aware of…

Whether they are responsible or not, the point is that not everyone sees that show and takes it as satire. And that is hurting some groups of people. Language is a powerful thing.

Sure. I never said no one else understood. I was just pointing out that the original comment on how artist’s intent doesn’t always make it to the viewers is a valid one. Not everyone saw it as satire, or maybe, because kids can be mean and being mean can feel good, chose not to take away the satirical message in the…

I don’t blame art for it. But I think that the original commenter makes a valid point. The artist’s intent doesn’t always matter.

The original commenter was talking about how regardless how the creators might intend for their show to be taken, the fans and viewers aren’t necessarily picking up on that. The satire isn’t viewed as such, instead it’s reinforcing rather gross behavior directed and underrepresented and marginalized groups. You said…

Adult fans maybe understand that it is satire. But when South Park first aired I was around 12 or 13 and all my peers were watching and repeating all the horrible jokes that we heard. And we weren’t doing it with satire in mind.

I don’t think that they would pass any laws even if someone did go into the capitol building and opened fire. There have been people who have...they didn’t get very far, but it didn’t change any minds. I DO think that if we could mobilize muslim americans across the country to start buying guns and applying for…

Mount Vernon at least doesn’t totally ignore them, even before this particular exhibit. I have been to the property a few times and there is a section of the slave quarters where they detail the living and working conditions. It’s not as extensive as it probably should be, but it wasn’t wholly sanitized and sugar…

Trump got mad when Ted Cruz attacked Melania...then goes on to attack Bill about a rape accusation...while he himself has also been accused of rape...

Just add ‘undocumented’ in front when necessary.

Bathroom doors are not magic. The can’t stop someone who commits a crime from going through them. It was illegal to assault and harass people in the bathroom before. It still is. HB2 provides no direction on how law enforcement is to enforce this law or how to prosecute it. What will happen is ignorant people will…

I think that the reasoning behing taking federal funding from teh school system is because they specifically cite how HB2 violates title IX. If states don’t comply with Title IX they lose funding they receive for education. It wasn’t a pick and choose which funds to take away sort of situation.

I think one of the artists is a woman, but that the writers are male. They are all parents however...

Now this, of course, is nowhere near the shining diagnosis released by Donald Trump’s doctor in December, who proclaimed that, “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual elected to the presidency.”
