Yeah, it's art, but "art" is really a low bar to achieve, and not any measure of quality. A five-year-old's drawing is technically art. Not far from where I live, there is a Museum of Bad Art. So, merely asserting that something is art is not saying much.

You used a lot of big and intellectual-sounding words there, but in the order than you presented them, I'm really unconvinced you actually said anything at all.

"No offense, but…" is almost always followed by a statement intended to offend. Just like "I'm not racist, but…" Drop the charade, you wanted to offend him.

I thought so.

Scooby Doo is somehow related to KISS? I was not aware of that. But oh man, sorry about that. I hate that band with a burning passion, mostly because Gene Simmons is the biggest money-grubbing, judgmental, bigoted, holier-than-thou, born-on-third-base-thinks-he-hit-a-triple shitbag in probably the whole music…

I agree completely, but in America, merely questioning the complete infallibility of parents in raising their children will get you everything up to and including physically assaulted, in some cases, if you confront anyone's shitty parenting, because the simple act of impregnating someone or being impregnated imbues…

There USED to be. Now I think there's just super-rich, rich, working poor, and shit poor.

I just want to know where the fuck Rickon went. At this point, either a) GRRM just completely forgot about him, or b) at some point he will return as a total fucking badass and wreak some havoc.

I just want the series to end with Arya, bloodied and tattered, making her way across a throne room piled with dead bodies (many of which she put there herself), and finally sitting down on the Iron Throne, becoming the Queen…but sadly and bittersweetly, to rule over nobody.

Probably, I'd guess the first few steps would be being fairly rich, and leading the kind of life that is slightly more exciting than being someone with a lot of time to spend posting on AVClub. Out of your league, shit, neither you nor I nor anyone here is even playing the same fucking sport.

I finished the last book long before the last season of the show aired (not to brag, just saying that now I'm addressing this to show fans as well as book fans), but my position has always been that, until and unless eventually proven otherwise, I am going to consider Jon Snow dead. Partly because it would be a kick…

Jim Croce is amazing. A guy who lived so hard, and sang songs about living so hard, in such a hard-sounding way, that it's still unbelievable to realize that he was only 30 when he died. He sounded 40, at the very least.

It might, in fact, be the WORST song on the Green Album.

That is a good song, and I'm a 33 year old man. But, I'm a softy at heart.

I usually have a "Not cool" reaction to Cobain suicide jokes, but I guffawed at that one because of how you ran with it. Also, oof on your original post. That's rough.

Recommending music to people is OK if you have reason to think it's something they would like, and you judge their reaction accordingly. If they like it, cool, but if they say "I'm not into this", and you keep insisting and saying "No, you really need to hear this part" when it's clearly not their bag, then it becomes…

Along those lines, I always thought it was kind of weird how big sports fans will dress their babies in baby-sized versions of their favorite teams' jerseys, as if the baby even knows anything about the sport or what they're wearing, basically, for their parents' kicks. But, I realize it's ultimately harmless, so it's…

Still going to slink away, huh?

Or, we could just accept that good art is timeless, and like what you want regardless of when it was released.

Ever notice how Tears for Fears' "Sowing the Seeds of Love" basically IS "I Am the Walrus"? Yet I don't hate it for being a ripoff, because it's awesome in its own right.
