What happened to all the comments about the use of the name "Trayon Martin" in the original article? Are the comments being deleted?

They might as well just make it a feature-length porno. At this point, that's the one surefire way to make the movie a success.

This article and the "pretty is a skill" idea also reminds me of how I often receive compliments on how I have really nice skin. I mean, yes, I don't have any bad scarring or persistent acne, but without makeup I have very, very ordinary skin with dark circles under my eyes and frequent blemishes.

Unrelated question, but how many "recommends" must a comment get before it's elevated out of the grey? This comment has 21, which to me would seem like enough, but apparently Kinja does not agree.

Sometimes I really think one of the most radical things a woman can do is simply not brush her fucking hair.

I agree that parents should teach their kids a lot of that, but not all kids have parents with the time or skills to teach their children these things.

Ugh, when I worked in retail creepy men were always telling me to smile.

I'm 25 and I'll be getting my first smartphone next year. My work is paying for it, otherwise I'm sure it would be several years in the future.

Wait, you got an iPhone at age 9? How old are you now?

Sorry, all I see when I look at this bag is the unhappy face formed by the straps and the zipper.

That does suck. Maybe you can grow it out again the next time you take a vacation?
