Shape is selling an ideal. If the readers think they would end up looking like this lady [who should be proud, by the way], they feel it will be offputting. Everyone is selling the idea that life becomes springtime and roses when you finally achieve the "thin"; that with thin comes the pinnacle of beauty. The cold…

Every one of these movies is so dumb as to make this information entirely pointless.

Where you see "obvious excuse", I see "legally-sound justification".

This again. Freedom of Speech does not protect you from other people getting mad about what you say. Freedom of Speech, as some kind of general principle allowing you to be an asshole and having everyone just stand back and pretend like it's not happening, is not a thing.

I don't think that is a fair assessment of what he said at all.

Bomani Jones- the voice of the 35 and under NBA fan, and actually says the things that need to be said. Love the guy.

They're popular in Asian communities, for real. In my heavily Asian-populated neighborhood in San Francisco there are little dollar store shops that sell them. I always wondered what the hell they were for and then I saw THIS lady in the car next to me while I was stopped at a stoplight and it was my favorite thing…

I disagree. The pandering shit about the Boston Marathon is more uninteresting by far.

They ran Khmer Rouge?

No, you shouldn't sneak into a movie or a ball game because those places provide a product. Running a marathon on city streets is not quite the same.

Except for the fact that they did run the race, and accomplished the same damn thing as "the ones who actually competed."

Great post - are you a meter maid, IRS agent, Tsa Agent or Hall Monitor?

1) They're no more of a security risk in the middle of the street running as they are on the sidewalk next to the street.

I'm struggling to find the outrage here. I really am. Isn't it most likely that they probably tried to pay and get in but weren't accepted? I assume there is a lottery for this. My outrage meter is about at a 1. And, I almost never, ever say this, but I think this post is not only over the top but kind of a dickish…

I have some questions about soccer tactics.

Personally, as an outside fan, I see Pop as the lovable old curmudgeon. Whereas Belichick is a goddamn sewer troll.

I'm by no means a mental health expert or any kind of professional in the field, but I've spent my entire life next to a family member diagnosed with Bipolar I, schizophrenia, and potentially comorbid personality disorders, and was in a long-term, live-in relationship with a partner diagnosed with Bipolar I. I could…

This response is really to anyone that has said anything like "he's not legally insane" or "he is bi-polar, not schizophrenic". SO?

Explanation does not equal exculpation. Watch that maniac's YouTube video and you'll understand. He's out of his fucking mind. At the end of the day, the criminal justice system should be about public safety rather than retribution, so rather than assigning blame/identifying culpability, we should focus on figuring…
