In fairness the school win a contest and we don’t know what the parameters were. It would have been better if he had selected a school in an underprivileged area but he chose to do a contest and this is the school that won. Not one he hand selected.

It calls him shitty for being a bad rapper...

The shocking thing is that if they would have just let him do it, it would take the merchandising and marketing teams all of half a second to think of ways to monetize it, so I dunno why they wouldn’t allow it. Of course I know realistically, but even side from the obvious good will it would have generated it strikes…

I was just thinking about this show! It used to be a weekly family event for us. We'd watch this as well as the original British Changing Rooms. We loved it! I had no idea it was still going on until 2008...

He had a filibuster proof super majority for a grand total of. .if iirc... admit 75 days? So yeah he had a majority but it isn’t as simple as that.

I think it was the sure you’ll make as much as a man if you work as hard bit that was condescending

Thank you! I’m a Sanders supporter, but the thing that drives me most nuts about other Sanders supporters I encounter is this insistence that because Democrats and Republicans accept campaign contributions from big businesses that they’re basically the same. They aren’t! There are real and significant differences!

That's how I feel. The zombie stuff inserted in the prose was awkward and ham fisted, I don't think it works as a novel but it looks fun as a movie.

They're playing real women who really were white in a country that was mostly white at the time. It isn't whitewashing if it's accurate.

It's almost likely history happened outside of America, too.

I think that quote is my favorite part of this; it’s just so authentic. He made an honest screw up because it is something that’s hard to get used to, he acknowledged and apologized for it.

He was actually born in Britain, from what I read...

That video focused on a group of what, 8 girls? Only 2 of whom were taking pictures every time the camera was on them. And their biggest crime is they didn't go wild with cheers when...something happened...I dunno what 'cause I dunno baseball. But, so what? Not everyone is a screaming fan. Some people are there just…

It's a sorority - my guess is it was an organized outing where they bought bulk tickets and everyone went. Maybe they'd never been to a game before and thought they'd try it and found it dull, who knows. Or maybe taking a selfie isn't the same as being totally uninterested in the game and is in fact something that…

Agreed, this smacks of making fun of them for perceived stereotypical girly, frivolous behavior. Note: the announcers, not necessarily this piece. This piece is making fun of selfies in general, which, fine.

But fuck those announcers. Biggest selfie offender I know is not only a dude, but a dude who works in sports…

Yeah, I saw someone up their talking about $250 per guest.... fantastic, well I’ve already got that number beat on dress, shoes, plane ticket, and hotel for the upcoming wedding I’m attending as well as time off work and gift. So, if on the day of, I get a migraine and don’t show... suck it. It's more of my own money…

It’s a sunk cost no matter what. I mean and hell even if they did come to the wedding, there’s no guarantee they’ll eat their full meal. Are people who get upset over no shows to weddings due to cost also going around to every guest and making sure they ate and drank everything that was provided for them?

Charging them for not attending is narcissistic. Assuming that your wedding is the most important thing in anyone’s life that day is narcissistic. Expecting a phone call when someone is potentially in the middle of an emergency is narcissistic.

Stuff happens. My uncle had to have an emergency appendectomy the day of my…

But as others have said, do you really want to bothered by that on the day of when there's nothing that can be done anyway? I mean, sure, a follow up over the next couple days to apologize and explain... but unless you're actually in the wedding party or otherwise necessary to the day, I'd think a phone call like that…

Why do people continue to do things like this? Every time a newlywed couple pulls this kind of asshattery, it inevitably makes it on to somebody’s blog and or into miss manners or something like that and the internet unanimously decides they’re raging dickbags. So why? Why does it continue to happen? Like, the only…
