What's a more realistic possibility for the future:

1) Cialis ads featuring two older men, both out jogging in thin grey t-shirts, implying that they both need Cialis to fulfill their sexual needs.

2) Cialis ads featuring an older man with a younger man, both at some kind of fancy dinner (probably because they're both

Those commercials are really unsettling. "Here's a man working on metal. He's a real man, with a goal in mind. He gets things DONE."

Honey, if you come at me like I'm a piece of sheet metal, we're gonna have a talk.

It's clearly an issue with women. They aren't getting younger in proportion to the men! How is a 35 year old man supposed to want sex if he doesn't have a woman 15 years his junior?! Have we learned nothing from ED commercials? I blame the feminists.

If he's really that focused on his dick as the center of sexual behavior, it may be his wife who wishes he'd put a finger on it.

Oh, my goodness. I had forgotten about that one! If I saw that on television during a commercial I might just die happy on the spot...

I don't know. I haven't seen anything saying he isn't. Think of all the boxes he could buy! An empire of cardboard for Maru and Hana...

There are days when Maru videos are pretty much the only thing that keep me from giving up on the Internet. Maru should be President of the Internet.

I am not saying racial profiling isn't a common practice. I'm talking about a very specific form of racial profiling that is outlined in this article. I've done more than "cursory research" (thanks for assuming I hadn't, though) and that I still see a need to approach the issue as complex. I know about the history of

Before I start, I'd like to say that "Google it" isn't a compelling argument. If I have to look up your side for you, this isn't a discussion worth having, and it's one that I want to have.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm not saying that a boycott of that store isn't appropriate. I'm saying that what the NYC Macy's does may be a result of that specific store rather than something handed down by corporate. I'm not arguing that people should avoid that store. What I am arguing is that

Thank you! It's also a terrible message to send someone that their personal battles will be overshadowed by a token celebrity's opinion on the issue. I worry that this is going to be turned around on the people who are speaking up in a "Well, Jay-Z doesn't think it's racist and he's rich AND black" argument.

Incidents like these are outrageous, in the literal sense. They're indicative of a culture of suspicion and racial profiling, and one that extends way beyond the two department stores that got caught doing it (or beyond retail in general, for that matter).

I would like to know two things from this whole situation: 1)

If she was an RA at a respectable institution I might feel differently (by which I mean pretty much any university program). This is basically the journalistic equivalent of asking a Ben & Jerry's representative to write an honest piece about their favorite ice cream—non-neutrality is a job requirement.

Gotta love that the magazine that ranks academic programs based on a small-sample opinion survey of professors from competing departments is now publishing the writing of a right-wing "research assistant" and claiming their opponents do lazy research...

Thank you for saying this. I posted something similar earlier but Kinja ate it. To me, SciAm saying this has no bearing on science speaks to the poor standards of scientific literacy in US education. If a mainstream science publication insinuates that science is only about results and not process or organization, it

It's hard to believe SciAm is interested in science if they care about only the results and not the organization, process, or reporting of science. They seem to be afraid that people will "discover" that science and scientists are affected by prejudice and isn't some magical machine where objective results appear.

This person wants the government to have control over the media, which clearly is anathema to a Liberal Socialist nation.

The threats to contact Congress and the misplaced concern over the FCC's "new hands-off attitude" are what scares me the most. Are people really that misinformed?

Also, how is it that one of the most conservative elements of our society wants a government agency to protect them from television? I'm about as liberal as

I will shamelessly steal all of the RS gifs that are shared here.

I agree totally. I was just wondering about the distinctions people were presenting for continents. All continental thinking has really given us is some crazy homogenizing in terms of populations ("Asians" and "Africans" and "American Natives") compared to the Europe.
