“Black MyPillow guy”
OUCH. That is SPOT ON.
Yeah, the “turkey jerky” one offended me personally.
Um, jerky is both DELICIOUS and an superiorly efficient food item. If World War 3 and the Zombie Apocalypse both simultaneously hit tomorrow and the world went to hell, “jerky” is exactly the type of food you want on your list to survive, mainly becuase it’s filled…
I second this.
The comic is AMAZING. And it moves much more quickly than the show did (I admit, the first 3 episodes moved slowly for me, and I love the comic and have been waiting with bated breath for a decade for this show to finally happen).
Even if they can’t continue this show on another platform and it dies here,…
Haha Northwest Philadelphian here (Mt. Airy), but spent most of my childhood in North Philly at my grandmother’s house in Nicetown (ain’t much too nice in Nicetown).
So yeah — this story is HILARIOUS to me. Philly don’t play.
I am BEGGING more racist hicks from rural areas of red states that come from towns with…
And it’s more than “grotesque”.
It’s straight up EVIL. I’m sure a lot of young girls of color looked up to “Claire Huxtable” on THE COSBY SHOW as an good example of womanhood to aspire too. But that was just acting a role on television.
Seeing her in real life defiantly defending a self-admitted serial rapist (and…
Amen. And that’s why I don’t have a Twitter account.
(Well, that’s not exactly true — I do have a Twitter account. But I only “tweeted” one first time like ~10 years ago about some dumb football game or something. Since then — it’s been nothing but “radio silence” on TwitterWorld from my account.
Twitter just seems…
I agree that she’s not clueless or warped enough to somehow be “pro-rape”, so we can all agree she wouldn’t, in any universe, be seriously defending the act of “rape” — but yet, she is loudly and publicly defending a confessed rapist on Twitter.
It’s a very weird public stance for someone to take who has spent decades…
I mean, you kind of summed it all up with your fourth sentence in only six words:
“They live in their own world.”
That’s a recurring problem with privilege, with living in a bubble, with the fickle glow of celebrity, fame, and the potential wealth/opportunities that all come with being the lead actress on the country’s…
She is a national treasure.
Oh god, that Liam Neeson scene is side-splittingly hilarious.
If you’ve never seen the “behind the scenes/blooper reel”, treat yourself to that (skip to @05:30 for the “behind the scene” talk, and to @07:25 for the failed blooper takes where Ricky and Liam can barely get the scene started without either of them…
AMEN to everything you said.
“I can’t believe she hasn’t figured this out yet.”
FOR REAL. This woman has been in show business for, what, about four decades now? At the very least, she’s been NATIONALLY famous since The Cosby Show debuted in 1984, so she should have some aptitude for answering tricky questions in interviews by now. But apart from…
“but I’m a New Zealander....”
Man, I hate to get all “the grass is greener” on you, but as an American Person of Color who’s become increasingly numb to the frustrating systemic racism and growing fascism over the past few years here in the US, and from what I’ve seen/read about New Zealand — as well as the glowing…
Sounds like one of those people who says when you seeing you reading a novel, “why would you ever wanna read the book when you can go see the movie? DUH”
Child of the 80s, too. I was just about to reply to the Original Poster, but your response was completely thorough. (I’d even forgotten about the David Gest stuff.)
“...crazy talented and hard working and...projects this endearing quality of vulnerability without self pity” — I couldn’t have said it better.
Yeah, it was kinda magical.
And there’s a ton of magical wrestling moments that I’ve missed over the past 40 years of my life — mainly because I never go to live shows and I’m just content to watch whatever wrestling I get on TV — but I can say that I was happy to witness in person that ECW One Night Stand show where…
Hey, Featherstone won the very first time those two clashed when she effectively KILLED Tulip in the New Orleans apartment for at least a couple hours before Jesse’s Gran’Ma’s voodoo raised her from the dead (and apparently also reversed the damage of that much brain death).
That’s a pretty strong win in their first…
Great comment.
I haven’t been to a live rasslin’ show since 2006 (WWECW One Night Stand 2006 in NYC — the night John Cena got booed out of the building by 90% of a very hostile, hardcore crowd and Cena stood in there and took his lumps like a soldier; I remember him trying to throw his shirt to the crowd to give them a…
I mean, it was established in like Episode 2 or 3 of the first season when Rick and Glenn are escaping Atlanta that rubbing walker gunk all over your face/body will keep them from bothering you. That, combined with the whole “whispering” thing probably also works, because the walkers themselves already make gurgling…
