That's…not mental gymnastics. It's a deplorable position, but it's a logically consistent one.

That's actually really clever and good enough for the Onion to run, good job.

I'LL TAKE THE CASE!

I don't disagree with the principle, I just thought it was a bad example. Infidelity and incest being wicked aren't the same thing as sexuality being evil.

Feinstein is legitimately a fantastic comic (I think she's leagues above Schumer), so I very much look forward to this show!

Cersei is not treated as evil because she is sexual, she's treated as evil because she's an awful person. What a profoundly terrible example to use.

I can't help but feel that this is a targeted move for diversity, because every bit of this woman's comedy that I've heard seemed really quite bad.

The most true part of the whole thing is the number of songs.

"I have homeopathic cheekbones—just the essence of a cheekbone."
This is one of the best sentences I have ever read.
Also, this is one of my favorite interviews. I appreciate that the 11 questions people have an actual conversation where both sides try to tell jokes. (If the AV Club side were bad, I wouldn't…

This was the narrative about Bush for a large part of his presidency, as well. Othering of people who disagree with you makes everyone hold incredibly incompatible beliefs.

I've figured out how to tell if a comic will be cancelled: Do I really like it a lot? Then yes, it will be cancelled. RIP Dial H, Wolverine and the X-men, Journey into Mystery, and this.

I would watch this.

Do this, also make six more Commandos because Commando is the best movie ever made, also it has Arnold petting a deer and all movies should have Arnold petting a deer.

Am I the only person who finds it weird that a really high number of Nicki Minaj's songs overtly reference butt licking?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I do not object to this person's views or attitudes, but I am not a very big fan of the way that she is not very funny.

Bill Maher is on PETA's advisory board, so I think we can stop listening to anything he has to say about any topic now.
(I wouldn't say this if he worked with, like, the ASPCA, but PETA is such an obviously horrible organization that being associated with it makes you kinda dumb)

Anyone who is dumb enough to think the Holocaust was motivated by a person's religion is pretty dumb. Hitler was publically Christian (y'know, like a politician), but privately strongly against religion, and his continued inclusion as a religiously motivated person is baffling.

You're making a basic categorical mistake in treating soft sci-fi as wholly different from supernatural/fantasy. The skull might as well be magic, it's just a McGuffin. It even appears to summon weird alien ghosts or something?

My argument is that the writing is poor enough that I couldn't work up the energy to dive into the article's content. That's not trolling, that's being critical of the writing, which I thought was very bad. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's very good, but you're making the common internet mistake of conflating "trolling"…
