Before I posted that I just looked up "Pink Panther Party" and got nothing.  I should have googled "Pink Panthers", who have existed in at least three different incarnations.

But this is the latter day internet age, where words can mean whatever we want.  Why bother with milquetoast words like "sexist", "boorish" or "obnoxious".  Might as well jump all the way to "rape".  Then call someone a nazi and accuse them of genocide.  It's a good way to erase all of the annoying nuance from your…

So why has there never been a militant gay organization called the Pink Panther Party?  The world needs this to happen.

Jezebel has a distinct set of concerns, so it's easy to single them out, but really the entire Gawker empire is based on fake outrage, misleading reporting of half-truths, and all manner of hypocritical appeal to its audience's prejudices.  They aren't exactly alone in this (HuffPo is known for it, and they basically…

I'm pretty sure that constitutes sexual assault.  However if she asked…

Yeah like my daughter said "I guess Maja is going to be the main boss of this season".  Seems likely.

Polly Jean, my all time #1 celebrity crush.  I think if I ever met her I would probably just fall down at her feet.

Stories is my favorite but "Is This Desire" is really underrated.  I think that was the first album she made where she was writing personal songs rather than self consciously playing characters the way she was in the first two albums.  I would probably rank is as my 2nd or 3rd favorite of hers.

Worked for Johnny Cash.

"Give me your shiny things or I'll shoot you" is exactly the theme of the best song from R.A.P. Music

Can one of the AVclub historians hip me to the origin of this "ball of earth" meme?

Good point.  Attitudes towards homosexuality would be a big counter example to what I was saying.  It would be unheard of for a show like Happy Endings to have a gay character without the entire point of his character being that he was gay.

High School High is poorly animated and its satire is really strained, but they did manage to be very fortuitously timely this weekend.

And yet we managed to get boners in the 90s anyway.  Because unlike kids today, we had imagination.

It's way too late for that. The avclub crossed that boundary at least a year ago.

Pink is not unattractive, but at the same time it's not hard to imagine that she might have a penis.  Not hard at all. Sometimes I do it without trying.
