So being that hung over/still fucked up for a major (and, in her case, public) professional event is somehow not wildly unprofessional?

Of course she bombed. She’s not funny. This is why y’all gotta stop gassing these people up that won’t be around in 5 years. Yea Black girl magic. We all glad to see Black stars rising etc. But being Black doesn’t automatically equal talent🤷🏿‍♂️. 

I wouldn’t worry about marketing. I can see at least three of these from my front door right now.

Because she’s a major star who completely shat the bed on a New Year’s Eve show in a major city, and didn’t even seem to attempt to try not to. It was likely a major event for the people who paid through the nose to spend their NYE there. It’s not just an “off day,” it’s specifically and significantly unprofessional…

by my prediction, we’ve got at least another 10 years of this whole ‘GO TO COLLEGE ONLY’ thing.

he depression has lasted about 10 years so far. The “recovery” is a myth because low-paying jobs like temps and the service industry don’t count. Like you said, people can’t afford new cars anymore.

A ‘recovery’ would have to mean that the middle class has a chance for meritocratic advancement in America. That illusion has died.

I would have been mad as fuck if I paid to see a comedian and they forgot their damn jokes.

While comics do bomb all the time, it’s still kind of a big deal for a big star to bomb this badly on NYE in a major city. Audience likely paid large for this mess. It makes her look badly unprofessional to be this unprepared for an event like this.

I used to do corporate (non-automotive) design and worked closely with marketing.

So much this. The same site *cough Jalopnik cough* that pines for the Fords of yesteryear, blasts “cheap” interiors, and thin “feeling” sheetmetal. We are our own worst enemies.

Eighties cars sucked too. Soooo many vacuum lines.

So....when the Democrats cause a shut down the parks remain pristine, and when the GOP causes a shut down the parks turn into Detroit.  Now I get it.

Yes they do. Plus there’s a straw person argument here: Type “vagina” on the NPR website and you get lots of hits, only some of which involve monologues. 

If you’re black you are 2.6 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.

Whenever I travel with beer my shit always gets searched, probably to make sure the bottles aren’t full of explosives or something.  So I don’t wrap them in clothes anymore, because they’re just going to get unwrapped.  Bottles go in ziplocs & are arranged in between layers of clothes, so that the top layer can be…

Let’s not start calling Camrys by their body codes, please. No one knows them, and more importantly, no one gives a shit to learn them. Camrys deserve no enthusiasm. 

But, could it detect fire trucks, a known stealthy-and-hard-to-see-obstacle, especially when stopped directly ahead of you, in your lane, with the lights on and guys in bright yellow jackets moving around it? Devilishly hard to see, those fire engines are.

I see no problems with the lineup on that door jamb.

Spacey then unzipped the accuser’s pants and rubbed his penis, both in and out of his pants, for about three minutes, he told police
