Right. It’s truly shocking how both VF and Jolie agree on what happened, yet Jolie sincerely thinks there’s nothing wrong here because “we were totally kidding!” She’s so confident the children were aware of everything while ignoring the poverty they faced every day before they met her and the casting directors.

Angelina and the casting directors knew what was going on. A bunch poor children, who have literally known nothing but a life of poverty and hunger, most likely did not even if it was explained to them. They’re kids! They don’t have the same grasp on complex emotional matters that adults do!

Jolie’s version of the story is the same as the story that the magazine printed - she doesn’t seem to get what was wrong with it in the first place. It doesn’t matter if YOU think ‘this is an acting exercise, this money is meaningless and the children don’t get to keep it anyway’ - to those kids they’re just seeing a…

lol wow the stans are out in force today

I will both listen to someting else AND Hagen on their appearance and you CAN’T STOP ME

The word is ‘fremdscham’, and they make me feel it, I fucking cringe to death.

Megan, thank you for standing up against big a cappella. The snark gave me life on this bleary hangover morning, even if I feel you might have pulled some punches.

This guy could have a side gig as a cartographer! His grasp of the North East is basically: everything above Texas, including Alaska. What a genius!

I admit, I hate him about as much as others seem to hate Nickleback. My hatred is performative and filled with overblown hyperbole and stated embarrassment we share the same country of origin.

On the topic of sweating - ever since the primaries, I can’t stop picturing these GOP assholes, as eating pizza while having sex and sweating like pigs. Not sure why - it’s just innately, the first image I keep getting at the mention of any of them. Coincidence?

True, and a month ago the right wing was accusing Democrats of overheated rhetoric and fomenting violence. I guess it’s okay to advocate shooting Senators as long as they’re women, or as long as you are a Republican too.

I’m hesitant to resort to critiquing someone based on their appearance, but why do conservatives almost uniformly look like amphibians wearing human skin?

Why doesn’t he ask senator Paul outside? He’s also been a “no”, for different reasons.

I read his name as ‘Fart en Hold’. He looks like the type to crop dust or let it out slowly.

That’s a low blow, attacking his lack of athletic physique.

I will be happy, as a woman, to empty a double barrel shotgun in your fat ass, you misogynist piece of shit.

“Some of the people that are opposed to this, there are female senators from the Northeast... If it was a guy from South Texas, I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style,”
