Wait, Tim was actually based on Stephen Merchant?!

By Christine M do you mean Rebecca Keener? Christine seemed to be on your side, Rebecca was the one talking about cyber bullying?

Is that like, on ONE pizza or just in general those are toppings that can be found on a multitude of pizza types???

I can’t believe I watched almost the whole fucking thing. That thing is insane. No wonder they went out of business.

I’ve never heard of this guy but is he actaully Canadian? His accent is pretty hoosier-y. This was amazing.

Some of the jez commenters are old gawker stragglers who didn’t have anywhere else to go before splinter was born. Just sayin.

WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT

Ming Na Wen is seriously my hero.

Hahaha, well I’m related to a slew of half Asians on one side of my family so I’m obviously the outlier with using experience.... To be fair, I’m usually pretty quick to pick up on it too, but with her there was defo a blind spot. Who knows!

I mean, it’s probably me, I don’t always pay attention to things.

You should choose that one! Do it, no one can stop you! Sometimes for things that don’t require proof, I’ll say I’m a Dame or a Lady, or even a Dr. If mean, if you’re going to give me the choice, why not!! (I also live in the UK so those are actual options for me).

Agreed, unless Miranda was herself drunk as hell, it was out of character of her to mouth that.

Yes, completely agree!! I too was really happy when that happened.

For me, by the time that that storyline was on Shield, I was made aware of her background, so the casting of her parents not only made sense, but was very respectful of her actual heritage! They could, since she’s, in my opinion, quite white-passing, have just cast a bunch of white people as her parents, but I’m…

TAYLOR SWIFT?!!? Oh my god. That made me laugh.

I watched Shield in the beginning religiously, and not gonna lie, I had no idea she was even mixed. I thought she was 100% white, so for me she was just another pretty white woman, rather than “exotically” beautiful, if that makes sense.

Wait REALLY?!?! They wouldn’t trust you to punch in numbers into a cash register because you didn’t adhere to their racist standards?! That’s amazing. Did you tell them you don’t trust them to buy anything in the store unsupervised because they were obviously damaged goods themselves?!

I know it, trying to buy ethically sourced food and clothes is a fucking nightmare, and I am both unwilling and unable to make my own - seems like I haven’t progressed much since my uni days. Ugh.

Really?! That both does and doesn’t surprise me. I went into a wiki-hole about how Adbusters got started because I was sure that at the beginning, they were free, or so cheap that they were nearly free, but their wiki says nothing about that. It surprised me to learn they were a response against the CBC advertising…
