I think you’re responding to either a troll or a bot. I can find no evidence online for his claims. That would be one hellishly stupid thing for Reitman to say.

Another man should of stepped up and got in dude’s face. Cowards everywhere.

Me too brother, that’s why I remember WP. Cheers.

Were those a one word rip off version of the famous Wacky Packages? I tease with love.

This will most likely be an unpopular opinion but I’m not sure which stance I find more obnoxious lately: Nostalgia is my drug, I don’t think - I love; Why don’t they make movies (music, books, etc.) like they used to?; Kids today don’t know shit. Or this one: Man nostalgia is stupid, man WE were stupid, this stuff is…

Thank you. I mean there are components in the creation of art that can be objectively judged (although even that is problematic) but the finished product depends on an individuals taste. There were critics who’ve argued for an objective measure of art (visual art in particular) but those arguments tended to be…

Your post (or should I say thesis) is wonderfully expressed and I agree with it completely. Kudos my friend, you should be writing for money, your take was much more nuanced and interesting than the original article.

Man, this shit drives me crazy, these people who seem to always need their values reinforced through their fictional entertainment. Insanity.

Man, I did a whole rant on the use of objective to describe creative endeavors, it’s somewhere on this thread. A pet peeve of mine. Unless they’re using the word in the sense of reaching an artistic goal, art is never objective.

Someone else on this thread mentioned they knew someone who was taking a humor studies course, the differences between cultures and what they found funny, and I thought, “That is the profession I didn’t know existed, that I’ve been searching for all along: Humorologist.”

Love the story, but gotta say after “fluff-muffins” and “bouncy snuggleballs”, I was disappointed you went back to plain old kangaroo.

I’ve started reading all the grey comments too. Thanks for that, it was just getting me frustrated and I didn’t want to do anything drastic like give up because I have very few outlets right now for “geek” discussions.

I made a comment for this story and I’m still in the greys. Besides Splinter, which was nice enough to follow ME, this is happening to me constantly on AV. Is this just because Kinja sucks? I’m getting a bit peeved wasting my time reading and thoughtfully (never trollishly) responding to the content, only to be…

Damn my innate curiosity, I had to look up the procedure, then immediately regretted it. Your joke was funny but at what price man?

I can feel any type of super hot ghost pepper sauce, as it wends its way through my digestive track, sometimes hours of suffering (unless I can fall asleep). I love spice and this is the only one that does that to me.

A truly amazing lady. I’m not sure I want her to be forever first lady though, I like to imagine her the first black female President. One can dream.

Drumpf’s hateful rhetoric aside, many want to also characterize these people as lazy, but in CA I worked with and observed many illegals for some time, and I consider myself a hard worker but most of these people put me to shame. It’s so obvious to most of us that all of this is just racist bullshit and deflection…

You know of all the things you wrote, the most troubling may be that enslaved blacks were “playing along with it”, it being systematic oppression, state-sanctioned brutality, forced labor and erasure of cultural identity, as if the slaves were just hop-scotching right with the “massas”. Insulting, demeaning and very…

No, you’re defending the idea that slaves, in an entire state and system devoted to keeping them in bondage, eradicating their past, making sure any feeling of humanity and culture they once share is denigrated to the point of oblivion had a choice to be a slave or not. It’s like you heard the Bob Marley verse about…

Yeah, and I’ve lived and worked among blue collar America all my life, and in various parts of the country, and I have a feeling if those immigrants are working, it’s work many born and bred ‘Muricans would rather be homeless than perform, especially at the near negligible remuneration said immigrants are probably…
