It’s posts like this that are Gawker sites at their worst. Quoting Sir-Mix-A-Lot is not passively racist or ‘problematic’. I mean, she wouldn’t want to chisel it on her tombstone or anything but..

I love that neither your nor the author of this post realize that this is a Sir Mix-A-Lot lyric. If the author had, she would have placed thinly veiled references to the song/his lyrics in the post. But instead, she—and you—jump to outrage and attempt to paint Blake Lively a racist. Shame on you both.

Did the article get edited? Cause now the song is referenced....but I swear it wasn't before.

THIS IS LIKE WHEN YOUR 22 YEAR OLD(?) BLOGGER DIDN’T KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO BABY GOT BACK.

As a pa attorney, your reading of the law is incorrect. You need to look at the stAtute which specifically deals with schools. Check out section a.2.

Right? I taught freshman English for several years, starting when I was about 27-28. And, ok, I found a few of the 18-19 year old boys attractive, but even the thought of acting on it was squicky. They’re practically still children in so many ways. And you’re the teacher! It’s just inherently wrong. I don’t get it.

“Don’t have sex with your students” seems like a really easy rule not to break. And yet...

I want to slap everyone who is questioning why the child was out that late with her mother. If the mother went to someone’s house to do hair, what is the problem with her bringing her child with her? If she is a single mother, what else is she supposed to do? Fucking people.

“Why can’t women be honest and just tell a guy no?”

Yeah, let’s blame the mom for having her 3 year old out late, rather than the asshole who shot her. More guns for everybody!

Oh look! Not one but two issues I am so, so, so fucking tired of reading about every fucking day, tearing up and saying “God fucking damnit” to my computer screen.

This is why things don’t get better. People are fucking stupid.

Some neighbors in the area, Local Memphis writes, are wondering why the young girl was out so late at night with her mother

That is amazing. I’m sinking into the “oh God, it’s almost Monday” blues and this has cheered me right up.

But I thought in America you had a right to bare arms...

I’ll show myself out...

“Are you Ellie” sounds exactly like “R U L E.” I find no fault in believing it’s still “are you Ellie" (and you can bet I'll still sing it that way.) :)

Yep, same here. Sitting at my work desk. Staring at my computer in disbelief, age 35.

right here. at my desk. in 2016. at age 29.

5/9/2016. At work. I thought she was singing “are you Ellie,” too.
