As I explained to Corggirl, Gale becomes a non-option the moment Katniss' sister dies, because of his responsibility for her death. So of course, her "choosing" Peeta is "sudden." It's not really a choice. Peeta instantly becomes the only option when Gale is confirmed as part of the war machine, and the specific part…

I don't understand your confusion.

I would make some glib remark about how we should probably be treating our addictions in consultation with actual medical professionals and not a religious/moralist cult whose claims about the very nature of addiction were drafted before the invention of modern pyschiatry... but, I know it's not that simple. People…

As someone (Me? I honestly can't remember) pointed out on the original article, hot men fuck and enjoy fucking girls who are as plain or plainer than Lena Dunham's character all the time. They just don't admit it. If they think their bros won't find out they just stay silent about it. And if they know there is a…

LOL. It really is amazing how much men can get done while in school DESPITE their girlfriend's and wives clinging to them like parasites, doing parasitic things like reading out loud for them, or summarizing their readings for them, or proofing their papers for them.

Right. He has emotions. He's a caring person. He has emotions about his BRO and cares enough about his BRO to acknowledge him.

"It's touching hands. He's not fucking you while wearing menstrual-blood-smeared hockey masks while listening to black metal in front of someone's kids."

You know what? Fuck your boyfriend. In all honesty. Fuck him.

In Barbie's defense, I think the original idea behind Barbie was that she would be an alternative to baby-dolls. I remember reading, years ago, that Ruth Handler wanted to provide little girls with the opportunity to play at being adult women through their dolls the same way that little boys got to play at being adult…

Yes. You are alone. The rest of us understand that it is necessary to prove that every woman we like is now or was at some time fuckable. Get with the program.

Madeleine, you fucking killed both the title and the lede to this story. Like killed it. Like, now you should be worried about this article becoming a ghost and haunting you.

You understand that it's adopted children who are asserting that they are in a different class, don't you? You understand that the difference of being adopted is important to adopted children? Adoptive parents, and society when it comes to this issue. And when you say, "But why use the qualifier "adopted" to describe…

Because it's an important distinction in many contexts. Not all contexts. But MANY contexts.

I've now watched this video three times and, reading the comments here, I feel like I'm almost the only one in on the joke.

You are not wrong. In fact you are more right than anyone has every been on gawker EVER. You are voicing a frustration that I have felt with society since I was a child. Literally, as a child I knew that the ubiquitous peer jokes about asparagus were unnecessary, vulgar and mind numbingly repetitive.

I'm sorry. But this ONE time I agree with the religious right. Kind of.

Thank you. This. So much this.

No. Karma didn't put O.J. in jail. O.J. ended up in jail because he was the same violent, arrogant man after his trial as before.

I have lived off and on abroad in different parts of Latin America and the male expat community there is disgusting. Young white American expats largely fall into two categories in Latin America. First there are the MRAs who are there to find a nice, brown lady who hasn't been brainwashed by feminism who they can…

It's truly just a matter of time before either Zimmerman or someone who comes into contact with Zimmerman dies. Either someone will carry out a vigilante attack on Zimmerman or Zimmerman will go out for a late night stroll (you know, cause of the manic energy that hiding in your house all day fills you with) and end…
