I don't think, just because they're asking random people to work for free, that they are going to have to accept every offering. I think publishers learned their lesson after the whole The Big Book of Soiled Underpants fiasco.

There was never an age in which publishers weren't involved in a desperate struggle for money.

I'm just hoping the subhead for the review reads Dulcinea… Dulcinea… I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea,. And that, if the second episode isn't as good as the pilot, that it's Dulcinea… Dulcinea… Won't you please bring back the dream of Dulcinea. But I guess this is just an impossible dream.

Not really. He hasn't even bothered to paint a picture of a dystopian future where all hamburgers cost $10, and people don't have to have three jobs.

I prefer the rich, smooth sound you can only get with wax cylinders.

So setting the stage for the spin-off series Queen Mab and the Mabonoids…

Calvin is a six year old. Possibly not the most well-behaved, but there's nothing about him that is particularly outside the realm of normal behaviour for a single child of that age.

I'm surprised they haven't covered her being called a Barbie Nazi, or possibly Nazi Barbie, by Camille Paglia. If only because getting articles written about her on pop culture websites is the entire point of Camille Paglia's verbal spewings.

Reddit should have photoshopped Donald Trump into this guy. It would be less incongruent that showing him as a cartoon child.

Plus, unless we're all crazy, the cartoon six-year old child is a million times more articulate than America's foremost Cheez Doodle action figure.

I feel somewhat let down by 80s and 90s dystopian sci-fi. Surely the nightmare future of televised entertainment is meant to be the wrongful arrest and execution of innocents. Did Richard Dawson die in vain?

Not to burst into an impromptu rendition of 'Blueberry Hill'? What kind of monster are you?

Surely Bananarama gone zombie was Shakespears Sister.

Snow Crash is his most readable, page-turning book. Make of that what you will.

The took student politics pretty seriously at Kent State, May 4 1970.

Dismissing other people who are genuinely devastated by the way they have been treated by society as being the real racists is being shitty to other people.

♫ John Hodgman, John Hodgman
What do you do with that John Hodgman?
He's over here… He's over there
That darn John Hodgman is every-where ♫

Or possibly the real world intervened in the whole 'who the real thugs are' debate.

That's actually pretty damn astute.
