Honestly, my mind is blown by this newswire. It never occurred to me that Jack Handey was a real person. It still isn't occurring to me, and I had to verify this factoid independent of this site.

Ask and ye shall receive:

"No one, IMO, has to think any sex is okay."

Unbelievable.

I believe there's some research that suggests that it has a lot to do with the hormone balance of the mother while the child is developing in the womb. Thus it would have less to do with a "gay" gene being passed on to the child, but a gene that helps regulates hormones in females. There could be evolutionary…

Kateh, you hit upon something that I find really funny with the religious right. So many of them claim that homosexuals are simply hedonists that can't resist sin. They ALL seem to be arguing, "Sure, sure, we'd all love to go around fucking men, but we all know that that's not right." As a straight supporter of gay…

All ethical dilemmas can be solved with money! Hooray!!!!

This is a surprisingly good point. I was a big Card fan when I was younger (aside: has anyone said they became a Card fan when 'I got older'), and had no idea about his views. I vaguely heard that the Homecoming series had something to do with Mormon myths, but growing up in a non-practicing Jewish household, I didn't…

I see your clip of Charlie Brooker and raise you two clips of Mitchell and Webb:

I thought it was very good immediately after watching, but upon further reflection the movie was carried by only a handful of incredible images, concepts, and scenes. These were excellent, and can basically be divided between scenes in the first half hour, and scenes surrounding the death of the piglets.

I just want to make sure I haven't gone completely insane. My friends and I have been telling "dead baby" jokes for years and years. Do people actually tell the same jokes as "cute baby" jokes?

His recent comedy specials have all been great. Through the power of Netflix streaming I was able to find a much older one from around the era of when he was a writer for Mad TV. It simply wasn't very funny or good to the point where I was surprised. But it ultimately sort of made me appreciate the growth that…

Obligatory TDS/CR False Dichotomy Post:

Ok, this was the opinion I was looking to express. John Oliver is doing a very, very good job with the material and delivery. He's a pro, and it's actually nice how seamless it is. Not to get into a false TDS/CR dichotomy, but I really appreciate TDS even at its absolute laziest when it just runs clips of…

Colbert hosted for a full week (4 days) on two occasions according to my memory, which is probably about 75% accurate. He definitely hosted for at least one full week sometime in 03-04.

As much friction as they had, Harmon understood the character, and didn't try to turn him into a racist buffoon. Chase's problem with Harmon seemed to boil down to not letting Chase do enough of his brand of humor and not understanding Harmon's streets behind meta bullshit. I think a lot of the former, particularly…

"On the next review of Arrested Development——>

I'm surprised they didn't talk more about Lindsay coming right out and telling Tobias that everyone thinks he's gay. "It's kind of a running joke." It was a brilliant way of handling his character, and resolving the ambiguity that would have been meaner the longer it went on. He's NOT gay; he really just speaks that…

At this point, I've watched the first eight episodes, and it's clear that Mitch Hurwitz: 1) Is correct that the episodes must be watched in order; 2) Is wrong that you should space the episodes too much.

Since when are Gen Xers the children of Yuppies? I'm on the border between X and Y (aka millennial), and my parents are clearly baby boomers. How can people born in the late 60s-early 80s be the children of young urban professionals in the late 1980s?
