Oooh! Oooh! Is it too late to change my soda name?

No, but The Young Pope drinks Cherry Coke Zero!

I started doing that BECAUSE of The Young Pope!

I don't think Goering into a pun thread is a good idea.

I really enjoyed the doc. Though what I liked most was watching Dre and Iovine IN their creative/dealmaking process, or listening to them talk about it. That combination of passion and skill is just intoxicating to watch.

Nope. I do not see your comment. I suppose you might say, I'm a comment not-see.

We do a lot to fight STDs (or at least we do in states that aren't fucking idiotic and avoid actual science) — we provide sex education, we provide free prophylactics, incentivize their availability, have public health clinics for testing and treatment… As for fitness, you know, we at least USED to have physical…

Errr… "champion of the oligarchy"? Boy, talk about your hyperbole. More like "The willing to work with the developing oligarchy to give more opportunities and services to the masses, and also maybe protecting some of their fundamental civil rights, which maybe might be a good thing to take into consideration."

Aw man, and with their terrible corn-syrup based diet, they'll be in there for YEARS!

Right-Winger: "We don't know enough about the history of the climate and how much it's changed!"

It's not yet another attempt to ressurrect Futurama? I'm out.

Well that's just a fucking depressing reduction of it. Read some Patti Smith.
