Archie Bunker *is* also a stereotype.  He's the stereotypical working-class white male who was afraid of losing his social and cultural dominance to the rise of non-white (specifically Negro, given the era) culture in America.  He's the epitome of the pig-headed, not terribly bright, working-class white-bread hero,…

This is actually brought up in the article above.

That *really* would not have worked out well.  I mean, sure, it sounds nice but… yeah, there were a lot of slaves.  They still weren't the majority of the population (not by a long shot) and, as the South had just demonstrated to the numerically-superior Union… Southerners were much, much, *much* better shots.

Yes.

Hmm, actually, yeah, I think there is something wrong with wanting to see a white actor play offensive racial stereotypes. I don't think you can have it both ways, you can't get an offensive racial stereotype who is also honoring the people it's stereotyping.

This.  So very much this.  The first PotC wasn't bad, I liked Depp mincing about as Jack Sparrow.  As is the case with most sequels, of course, it just got worse and worse (never saw any of them after the 3rd, and that one was terrible).

Holy shit… do you sit in the cubicle across from me?

In at least 3 different cases, that I've researched (or some other poster has researched in response to my comments) it has been demonstrated that, yes, the customer reviews *are* actual customer reviews of an actual product somewhere, usually found on Amazon or Ebay.

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus  The fuck it's not fan-fiction.  Even though Gaiman's a published author and creator of a variety of works, he's a fan of both Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.  Smash them together?  You got fan-fiction.  That Gaiman gets paid for it is…

What?

Significantly so, yes.

Dunno.  Is he Chinese?  Xy sounds like one of them foreign names.

He's related to Quasimodo.

You don't know who I am?

I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told
that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being…

RS, which is apparently the magazine of choice of the place I get my truck worked on, actually has some pretty damn good articles on anything that is not about music.

Did you just have a stroke?  If not, get on that.

Nope. Ginger-hating is around in the US, and it's related to fucking South Park, the cartoon, with their "soulless ginger kid" character and the content written around that meme.
