I disagree completly. It doesn’t fit at all in Star Wars. Because Star Wars is set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. There is no Earth to produce the Beastie Boys. It destroys the world-building.

The point OP is making is that when you eat a, say, 840 calorie meal, you don’t need to burn 840 calories through exercise. Its an incorrect and potentially dangerous thing to tell people that they should be exercising enough to burn every calorie you intake. Never mind that 840 calories is basically the worst happy…

There's also the assumption that the cheeseburger kid's meal will have the worst sides (presumably fries and soda) to bring it to 840 calories, whereas choosing apple slices and milk would only be 420 calories.

840 calories... they’d have to take 24,000 steps before all of the cheeseburger calories burned off. Gross.

Well, even if a man rapes a woman, it's not his fault. Blame his wife!!

I have no idea if Broaddrick’s allegations are true or not, but her story is credible enough, and should be treated with sensitivity and seriousness.

I don’t know if Bill Clinton raped her or not, but I do find it odd that she seems to focus so much on ruining Hillary’s career over the issue. Her evidence that Hillary even would have known about the incident is shaky at best - Hillary shook her hand and said thank you, in what was perceived to be a menacing tone?…

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s creepy about that. They probably just took it from his Twitter or Facebook page, and I’m assuming that this guy’s face is on every thing he writes.

Eh not really. That can be described in 1 sentence.

Other than the accidental leak, it would be much bigger news if Microsoft didn’t do all of this.

Yeah exactly. Apparently some people are under the delusion that a corporate press interaction will be something other than fully vetted and carefully planned.

This is like the basis for basically any CRM software out there.

Yeah, this seems like basic PR. If you are going into an interview (and especially if you are preparing a non-PR person for interview), you are going to want a quick breakdown as to who the interviewer is, what their interests are, how adversarial they’ll be, etc..

Is there a company with a PR department that doesn’t do this?

I was debating whether or not to throw “Tarantino’s Hateful 8 script” in there, too...

Don’t bring up: iPhone 4 Prototype, Hulk Hogan.

Also, having Sullivan’s photo on there is kind of creepy. (When reached by email, Sullivan was remarkably chill about the entire thing.)

What’s in Microsoft’s dossier for Gizmodo?

@toxic: Dude, they're tacky. I don't have to be able to make something to have an opinion regarding it. Otherwise manufacturer would just make things however they wanted and I'd have to accept it, because who am I to tell someone else what I like?

@toxic: Ah, the age-old fallacy that says you can't hold an opinion on something unless you can do better.
