Not that this is in anyway the most disturbing aspect of this story, but it still bugs me: why did they need to confiscate their ipads? Why are school tablets even relevant to this?

I really don't think it's fair to blame this on "the Internet," though. Slender Man is basically just a story told around a digital campfire [wheeze at my own cliches]. As people are pointing out elsewhere in the comments, it's like Bloody Mary or the Boogieman, but disseminated online. Like I said, maybe they were…

Does nobody remember the creepy weird urban legend horror stories from before us? Bloody Mary? Candyman? Etc.

How does one get from Ooo Creepy Internet Stories to LET'S STAB THIS GIRL 19 TIMES? This is like blaming heavy metal for Columbine.

Leave the good sea lord out of this.

Open relationships and the assumptions with which people go into them are so fascinating to me. As an outsider it seems to me you've got two starkly differently camps—the folks who walk in clear-eyed, knowing how important communication and honesty and commitment are, and then the folks who are like "I'll get to fuck…

And this is why people with English degrees are important. Liberal arts FTW.

Just nobody tell Fox News that the commemorative quote on the 9/11 memorial is about two gay terrorists ... or, if you do, give me time to heat up some popcorn first.

Makes sense. I've always felt god the most strongly dans ma vagine...

Yeah, and next thing you know healing, prayers, and baptisms are going to involve a lot of extra touchy-feely. You can't tell me this guy doesn't have a master molestation plan. Start handing out awareness pamphlets with "help" hotline #s at the door now.

See, ladies, it's only your fancy schmancy frilly undies that block the sweet, loving power of the Lord from saving your soul.

I've met other Asian guys who only want to date white women. As a white woman who is married to an Asian guy, it really pisses me off. It's blatantly racist, and I would never have dated a guy like that.

Holy mother of nonsense. The list of requirements made me barf a little, and I'm a dude! Dr. Dick is so eloquent in his disgusting speech, that it broke through the barrier of social constructions for genders and it made me feel bad, even though I was never objectified in life.

Props, Dr. Dick. You made everyone else…

I don't have a problem with anyone (man or woman, gay or straight) having criteria for what they want in a life partner. I DO have a problem with someone asking for all of this and offering "I'm successful and have money" as their only contribution to the table. If I had a friend that fit this criteria - and I…

I went through this weird phase in college where I kind of accidentally became a club promoter - I was talking to the manager at the club one night and he basically mentioned that if I brought a few (female) friends the next weekend, he would waive our cover and give me free drinks. Being a broke-ass college student,…

I feel stupid for not having thought into that much, because you're probably totally right and that's genius.

Does anyone else love the video concept as much as I do? As he continues to tell the story, he becomes more and more covered, more concealed, less vulnerable. He's pushing her away and distancing himself. She finally comes out of the silence she initiated with him, and reveals a little bit of how shitty she felt…

Another thing that's great about this song, change the lyrics to "Now You're Just Somebody that I Used to Blow" and it's really funny (if you have the humor of a 12 year old boy like I do.)

You forgot the best part. When Kimbra completely tells him off.

And isn't the other top song in the country ("We Are Young" by fun. and Janelle Monae) about a dude who hit his girlfriend trying to reconcile with her by asking her to carry his drunk ass home?
