So a 15 year old girl was pulled into bushes while running by herself on a high school track a while ago here in Central PA, and I'd say a half, maybe more, of the article comments were a variety of victim blaming, ranging from "should have known better to run by herself" to "what was she wearing" (because in the

Aw hell, I live in State College, a community that for years thought of itself and the holy grail of places of live because everything's just so honorable, and you have people who not only think that Sandusky might be innocent, but even if he is guilty how can they put down this fine community over a bunch of poor

But what makes it much much worse is a woman just went through something multi levels worse than being held up, and they have to deal with a bunch of lowlife shit brains lecturing them about how it's their fault.

There's definitely a subset of society, a sadly large one, that automatically blames women for rape and takes the "she was asking for it approach". There's also a subset of society that believes most rapes are lies, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. Those are just a few examples.

I work at a major university and volunteered in a rape prevention program and you're 100 percent correct. Until recently, all rape prevention information was directed at women and nothing was said to men at all, which was wrong.

Agreed, I think it's a fantastic show. I also love the podcast. When Aukerman interviewed Lauren Lapkus about her role in Jurassic World and asked her which dinosaur she played, I embarrassed myself in public by bursting out laughing.

I was a 14 yo punker back then and I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Went to the local cool record store after school that Monday to buy their record and was told "sorry kid, we ain't got anything by them and you're like the 50th person to ask."

It reminds me of my first crush in fifth grade, a new girl who showed up at my school. She was shy, like me, and had a really shitty home life. I was a bit floored when I first heard the song because it was almost like White wrote it about that experience. We walked to school together through a park, were both into

It's a pretty good argument starter, that's for sure. I liked it, I enjoyed the dead-pan oddness of it and liked that the nerds in it were quite unlikable and hard to root for, unlike so many nerd movies.

This is the best football column of all time and I'm not just being Jon Gruden saying a Bears second-string offensive tackle is the greatest he's ever seen. Although WTF Teti, 9-6 in the Eagles game? You mean 9 TDs to 6 TDs?

I hear the best part of this movie was where the bird-looking woman is supposed to be dead and she suddenly looks at the camera and says "braaaainnns"

The thing about Signs that made it tough for me was one aspect of it:

Completely agree.

And Frank Zappa!

I often wonder what the kids thought when they went to see Head back in its first run. I mean, imagine One Direction doing a Spike Jonez movie. Giant Victor Mature, Frank Zappa, Vietnam War footage, and lots of drugs.

A groovy asshole, baby! Yeah!

Pleasant Valley Sunday and Last Train to Clarksville…if some indie band put those out today half of Brooklyn would be fawning over them.

It's just Peter Tork doing a really bad British accent.

Featuring Fred Durstowitz on distorted accordion…

They had their quietly subversive moments. Pleasant Valley Sunday is a takedown of suburban conformity that any indie band would be proud to produce and Last Train to Clarksville is about a guy saying goodbye to his girl before leaving Vietnam.
