I know your question was likely rhetorical and a joke, but Tom and Lorenzo do a very good job of deconstructing Bob Benson and his attraction to Pete in this post: http://www.tomandlorenzo.co…

@avclub-e129a878f7b0e5aa9ac09e0282f64ea6:disqus people have been using the term "rice burner" to describe Japanese cars since the 80s. it's a derogatory term for any Japanese car.

yes. Bob's face fell when his backed was turned to Pete and Pete used the word "degenerate." Bob was legitimately crushed.

I wet my panties when Reid Scott uttered those two sentences. goddamn, I'd let that man put all sorts of things in my mouth.

turns out Carol Leifer coined the term.

when we first saw her, her back was to the camera, so for a split-second I thought it *was* Joan Calamezzo.

Dan may be an opportunistic weasel, but he's also hot as fuck. so he's got that going for him.

that meme never gets old.

I always felt so bad for that perky little candystriper after that line.

and here I thought it was intentional. like he's looming around, with a great and mysterious presence.

I don't have the time to read through 990 Mad Men comments, but oh my god, if someone hasn't made this exact comment by now there is something wrong with the internet. joey.blowey FTW

absolutely. I wish men in what are essentially baggy carpenter capri pants could see how fucking ridiculous they look. if you've got slim or muscular legs, get thee to a tanning salon and get some fucking SHORTS.

um, no. I will be Doralee, because…clearly.

I first saw this movie at four years old, and I have to say that scene of the corpse sitting stiffly in the wheelchair with a sheet over his head was legitimately frightening.

Coleman also had a role in Cloak and Dagger, and I don't believe he played an asshole in that movie. but I could be misremembering.

yes, it seems that these days there's a real and vicious backlash to the whole political correctness idea, and consequently more sexists feel that being called out as such is a great affront to their sensibilities. see also: racists.

at the movie's start, Hart passes Violet up for a promotion she deserved and instead gave it to her subordinate; a guy she herself had trained. his reasoning was that guy had a family to support. well, so did Violet - she was a single mom.  the entire movie is a celebration of equal pay, equal rights, and equal…

FUCK YEAH

eh. he's the Sunshine Superman. he's got it made.

for shit's sake, when I was four years old I cried at my own birthday party. sitting there in front of a flaming cake, listening to all these strangers scream-singing "happy birthday" to me in the dark freaked me out. kids are weird. the movie scared him. get over it.
