I didn't expect to get an Iron Giant reference here this morning, dammit (sniff)….

Maybe he's just not into you.

And, by all accounts, a super-normal and down to earth guy who is good to his family and friends.  Hope all is well.

The mistake was reading into lines like, "Ask the sheep/For their beliefs/Do you kill on God's command?"

Murray swears in the one interview I've read with him in the last decade that he did the Garfield movie because he saw it was written by "Joel Cohen" whom he confused with his good and talented friend, Joel Coen.

Yep - on a show that loves call-backs and genre jokes as much as Community does, how can Chang NOT decide to retire from security guarding, then get killed on his last day as he holds a picture of the boat he's about to take around Greendale lake?

I didn't know Portlandia even HAD a despite him.  But I'm very curious to see how that last sentence ends.

I think the acceptable mainstream term is Mentally Challenged TV.

While you're full of ad hominems, faulty logic, and scary librul conspiracies, I'm going to refrain from engaging on that and choose instead to applaud you for understanding that the First Amendment does not in fact guarantee people's freedom of speech - it guarantees the freedom of the speech itself, regardless of…
