There will be eating disorders.  They will probably be problems with how they are depicted.

That was actually the best one-line contemporary description of the Bible I've ever read.  Bravo.

In fairness, if Morrissey wanted to live in a country where no atrocities occur against animals, he'd have to live on a boat in international waters. 

Songs can be about two things.  M*A*S*H was about Vietnam even though it was set in Korea.  Allegory!

I'm not nearly aware enough of Frank Ocean's personality to make that judgment.  Maybe he did act provocatively, maybe he didn't.  But it sure looks like Chris Brown attacked him either way, because that guy's a psycho.

What's wrong with rainbows, exactly?

Seriously.  Such total bullshit.

The fashionable nihilism of America, everybody.

I think that anyone would agree, though, that Coulton's cover is musically quite distinct from the Sir-Mix-A-Lot original.  Coulton is in fact the author of the new arrangement; the only question then is whether he has any creative rights to his arrangement.

Honestly.  How fucking hard is it to say "arrangement by Jonathan Coulton?" in small text during the credits?  Then they cover their asses, and the only thing anyone can accuse them of is being too lazy to do their own damn arrangement.

Nobody pronounces it "Yorkey"  And Bjork's name is clearly one syllable.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Damn, I thought they had some new sex advice.  Don't get me wrong, this is good stuff, but I came in hoping to hear something new, so I could take the art of discreet balling to the next level.

Clearly the best rendition ever.

I went with Life During Wartime.  That doesn't mean I have no regrets.

Not enough!

Being an ambassador doesn't make you famous.

Divinity aside, I think it's inappropriate to refer to Haile Selassie as a "dictator."  He was an emperor, from an established imperial line that went back centuries.  I'm not a monarchist or anything, but to call him a dictator implies that he seized absolute power in a way that was somehow illegitimate.

There is nothing I do not like about Jenny Lewis.
