I agree. All this “What an idiot. He had it coming.” attitude in the comments? Jeez, you guys.

Yeah, I’m a little disheartened by some of the replies I’ve seen to this story, both here and elsewhere. It’s entirely possible he’s being framed, and even if he did do what they’re accusing him of, no one was hurt and ultimately this is not something that he should potentially lose his life for (North Korean prison…

No one is paying him to steal a sign. He’s being forced to say these things by North Korea.

Maybe Mitt can lend him some of his binders.

I want this house, and all the caftans and cocktails that go with it.

Huh. I read it completely differently. I read it as don’t let someone bully you into doing something you aren’t sure about. If you want to say no to the D, then for gosh sakes, say no.

This is on Jezebel because there’s no reason it shouldn’t be.

I enjoyed the article and this young woman’s attitude about herself and her art is simply awesome. However, the music sounds pretty much like everything else out there and her voice is good, but not dramatically unique. She does seem to try and blend together a few different ideas and musical inspirations, but that…

That 2nd-to-last paragraph was exactly what I was thinking...Hello? VICTORIA SECRET COMMERCIALS!!! Not to mention stuff like this:

At least he is talking to an unbiased source about the matter.

I’m desperately trying to find a way a law student’s activism isn’t as relevant as anyone else’s but ... I just can’t.

I’m fairly certain this is tongue in cheek. I think. Maybe? Yes. I don’t know.

No, you’re not biased. You’re just right.

“We” don’t laud Polanski and Allen. Not us, not here.

Aside from the absurdity re: gender, it’s adorable that someone thought a recent MFA needs a full-time manager.

More like the recent MFA needs someone to help fill out welfare applications and letters to student loan companies asking for extensions.

It’s more of a commentary on the narcissism of many who post on Instagram. Very few great artists use(d) themselves as the sole subject of their work. Instagram promotes exhibitionism at the expense of intimacy: how many special moments are now paused so that someone can get a pic to post of it? Sorry, the thesis of…

Agreed. Tracy’s post would have been better titled “Great Women in History Who Were Forced to Run Shit Behind The Scenes.” Leave the video angle out the post entirely.

This is a bit of a stretch - Instagram is shallow and bringing up Nabokov seems a little much - but I see your point.

At my ex boyfriend’s MFA show, a woman neither of us had met before came up to me and started talking about how I would have to quit my job and start managing his art full time. Even though he’s the one who took the ‘business of art’ class. No idea what my asperations were, what my job was, no background at all.
