Interesting piece! Though I’d like to point out that PSNI is the Police Service for Northern Ireland and therefore not an Irish police department. The island of Ireland is divided into Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, and Ireland, which is part of the EU and independent of the UK. Plenty of people in…

If you perceived that post as “taking a dump on christmas [sic] traditions” then I don’t know what to say. You’re clearly part of the “war on Christmas” conspiracy brigade. My condolences.

I haven’t seen this movie. and as a formerly obese man dont plan to. What troubles me about depictions like this is that you don’t have enough experience in Hollywood with fat people to get a reasonable cross-section of their experiences in a way that can actually do the performance justice. I was a pretty big guy, I…

Thanks @ the comment section for reminding me how much people believe it’s okay to hate fat people <3

As an actual fat guy (300lbs at 6'2"), I feel like Rich sneering at “non-fat” people making a movie, when he himself is, if the internet is truthful, muscular and ripped as fuck (I’m impressed), is frankly a bit fucked up. Brendan was for many years a hell of a lot heavier than Rich is suggesting. He was obese even!…

Surprised to see so much praise here. As a lover of horror movies (even the bad, schlocky ones) I felt like the first was a waste of time and particularly mean-spirited...to the point that it felt misogynistic. That’s saying something when you consider the way women have almost always been treated in horror movies.…

As soon as I heard people were fainting, vomiting, etc. it seemed like a low end marketing ploy. Anyone eager to attend the sequel is likely a cinematic gore hound or slasher fiend, and looking for this type of film. As with many horror sequels, nothing new or clever to add nor is there a reason to revisit for 2+…

“Playmate Ilse Taurins is said to be the one to suggest a hyperbolic feminine version of the company’s logo for practicality’s sake: It would be easier to light cigarettes in as little fabric as possible.”

The Playboy Bunny costume is definitely iconic. I do have mixed feelings about it. At DragonCon every year, there’s the legendary ‘Bunny Hutch’ party. Most people going to the party are dressed as some nerdy / cosplay bunny mash up. My favorite was the Colonel Sanders bunny.

Is Jez going to pay to get unretouched pictures? 

As a photo retoucher myself, this video doesn’t show heavy retouching. Retouching is a delicate process that can take hours for each individual image. (Retouching may have been done earlier, in the individual portrait files; that is not shown.) It is primarily showing the process of selecting, masking, and compositing…

I mean I’m in the grays, too. But you’re 100% correct. It’s all victim blaming like “I don’t have sympathy for victims of crimes.”

I am against 99.999% of all things Kardashian, and I read this and thought “wow, what an awesome thing to do with your 6 billion Twitter/Insta/WhateverTheKidsUseI’mOld followers”. 

You should be alarmed at having such an emotional reaction to a tv personality 

I generally don’t comment on other people’s appearance, even complimentary, for a reason. People are sensitive about it, and you never know what the reason might be behind an appearance. Who knows if the weight loss you noticed or whatever is a source of pride or a source of angst? A lot of people’s lives would have…

Friedman should be a pariah to any thinking person until he apologizes for his cheerleading for the Iraq War.  He still has blood on his hands.

Just go to Gawker- that’s where Jez’s staff have moved. This place now has less credibility and writing skills than cracked.

Why do I feel like I’m in an SNL sketch?

I didn’t disagree with the second part of what you said. Most things in this world are geared towards cis men, dating apps are no exception. But you were pretty dismissive of her experience and chalked it up to an “obvious violation of the rules”, which was what I felt needed pushback.

Yes thank gods that Tinder is saving us from jokey refusals to do unpaid work for clueless transphobes. And I kinda doubt that she got banned half a dozen times for that, if I’m being honest.
