I dunno, I think the backlash to Gervais has gone too far. The Office isn't just a very funny television show — it's possibly the best funny television show. And it doesn't get there just by having some good jokes in it. From start to finish, it's sort of perfect.

Another thing that bothers me about the MCU is that it's boring and dumb, and tries to make us care about a world in which indestructible gamma ray monsters and really good archers and literal gods somehow team up and chase stupid rocks around the universe.

I totally agree, because there's no way the word "involved" is doing a vast amount of work in that sentence! I have a beautiful two-year-old daughter, and my highest aspiration is to be "involved" in her life! Of course, if she weren't related to me biologically, I would throw her down a well!

Oh, sorry for the delayed reply. I just got back from putting my two-year-old daughter to bed. You know what would have been equally satisfying? Having a greatly reduced involvement in a variety of nieces' and nephews' lives!

Because…involvement in your children's lives is one of the primary and most lasting sources of fulfillment in an otherwise largely meaningless cycle of work, sleep, and TV?

I googled around and it does appear that PETA supports euthanasia for animals in shelters. It's not hard to find related articles on their website.

My dad is Jewish, so…

So has Diego Luna!

Set it to Huey Lewis music.

It kind of seems worth mentioning that Uber does not in fact support the immigration ban. Saying that decision to drop surge pricing has been "seen as tantamount to support of the ban" is weasely in the extreme.

Don't agree with the Emma Watson bit of this at all (and yes I am totally gay for Brad Pitt)

No, the fact that this line is something John Lennon said to Peter Fonda while tripping on acid at an LA house party is obscure.

Points for referential obscurity

Sorry, are you asking why men like to watch you catfight? If so, I don't know the answer, but I strong suggest hanging out with different men.

Er…isn't ladies mud wrestling just two women in barely there bikinis rolling around in mud? I'm not sure we need to dig too deeply for the appeal of that one.

Quite honestly, I think the answer is: pretty much nothing. Interest in "catfights" is almost entirely ironic. But maybe there's someone here with a strong catfight fetish who can correct me on this.

Then what?

What a senseless waste

Oh, shit, I forgot about the cannibalism. Both the cannibalism and the molestation are a shade beyond "implied," I would say. Sure, they don't actually show the molestation, but they do show the girl being lured into it. You can call that implied, but it's not something that's being vaguely hinted at. It's happening,
