Are they implying something along the lines of "well, she looks great in the officially released photos. We know she isn't that great looking — they must have photoshopped this!"

You'd have been right, though.

"I will just order a Bud."

Agreed.

Which they have every right to do.

Who? The judicial system disagrees with what you're saying. Rape is a very serious legal offense, and the legal system is built on the sensibilities of the people who live under it.

"When's the last time someone told you that you deserved to be murdered for wearing a certain item of clothing? "

No, I don't agree with that. I don't think that any word should ever be off limits, for anything.

I agree with your general point and think you're right, but I also think you're right when you say "just a thought," — that's all that it is, and it is only your thought. It is no more or less valid than the thoughts of the people who named the beer. If they want to go the direction that they went, so be it.

"Rape, on the other hand, isn't largely recognized as "a big deal""

" it's about alcohol incapacitating women."

This doesn't make any sense.

" Watching the Oscars to look at the clothes rich, famous people wear and then cheer for them to win awards seems pretty absurd to me. "

Generally, my reactions in order of frequency boil down to 1.) indifference, 2.) laughter and then, a long way down, 3.) rage.

Could be. Sounds exhausting being you, though.

Meh.

I don't care about sports and neither do my friends. Becoming emotionally invested in a team playing a game that you are not part of is completely absurd.

I've never seen one of my male friends cry. I've seen them get angry, but I've never seen them breakdown. And I've never seen them in a state of euphoria. I've seen them laugh a lot, but that isn't so much emotion as it is entertained.

We are. We're extremely entertaining, we enjoy movies, music, and comedy. We're cynical but optimistic. We have a good time everywhere we go.
