This is important because so many people encourage kids to hug or kiss people they might not want to - whether it’s an adult or other kid. I mean. The intent is not bad, it’s cute or charming.

“I like to think they wrote the part for Kathy Griffin...”

I like to think they wrote the part for Kathy Griffin, and when she wasn’t interested all they could find in the resulting scramble for the shoot was a Lucy Ricardo wig and a woman willing to work for scale. Like, the original concept was the intestines walking around with a mic, doing some stand-up, maybe heckling…

I also hate this commercial. WHY that wig?! And why does Intestines Lady become sad when her intestines are no longer experiencing pain and discomfort?!?!

They’re pretending late term abortion means waiting to full-term, inducing labor, and then stabbing the otherwise perfectly viable baby to kill it just before it crowns. Because opposing the reality of late term abortions (ie. it is typically a life-saving procedure) is pretty much impossible, so they resort to…

One niece, Shelia McNichols, had attempted to abide by her uncle’s wishes by assigning her piece of the inheritance to Mr. Doyle, but the rest of Mr. Cornwell’s relatives chose not to go along, Mr. Gray said.

“He had 50 years to put Tom’s name on any of these papers,” Ms. DeMaio said. “The will was never a valid will.”

Fuuuuuuuuuck. That poor man. You spend the bulk of your life having your relationship scorned and questioned, and then have to go through it again after your partner has passed because of greedy assholes. I hope he gets justice.

Ms. DeMaio suggested that perhaps the two men were just “friends” or “great companions.”

Oh, I am, how do the kids say, here for this.

He wishes someone would pay attention to his pole. Sad!

Oh, Ray Hill...i think no one is “rigging your pole,” ya sad bastard. :)

and a math professor to boot. Usually when women are on the front lines in a very male dominated profession, their experiences make them even more feminist than someone who worked in a less male-dominated profession. I know I’m a lot more aware of sexism than I was in my 20's.   However, I have seen a few who pick up…

This article just confirmed that women still support Trump basically due to some weird sexual attraction to his persona as an “alpha male” and also due to internalized misogyny. Despite all their attempts to say they don’t fill the mold, it basically just boils down to that. Trump can get away with things and be a…

Yes indeed. I’m not surprised that somebody who’s well educated in one area is barely cogent in another.

It’s really weird, because I actually have compared older interview and speaking clips of Trump with contemporary ones, and the opposite of what she says is true. There is a marked difference. Not when comparing Hillary, however. Even Trump’s supporters have started doing that weird projecting thing that he does.

Seriously. Full fucking sentences that are not comprised of words like “beautiful” or “tremendous” repeated 2-7 times to fill them.

Great Bambi reference. I NEVER thought of that before but it’s so true that it fits right in with the mid-20th century American dad mythos: you can be almost entirely absent from the life of your kid (that is, son) and be an optimal father, as long as you show up at a few significant moments and encourage him to be…

Yes, but it’s a MALE helicopter, which is sooooo much better then those emasculating, browbeating female ones. It also fits perfectly into the “silent dad” narrative, where kids like he was in the sixties grew up watching Bambi’s dad stare at him from a crag, then run off, as the epitome of good parenting. Do one…

Nah, he just sounds like an asshole bully who never grew out of being an asshole bully. He seems to be unable to distinguish between healthy play and letting kids be assholes to each other. And now he works in the asshole bully lab called Silicon Valley where they are doing “research” on how to transform the world…
