No, I called them fucking stupid for suggesting that the information on the box was inadequate to create that activity. And then I quoted the written instructions, working from the assumption that they can read. Those written instructions to me are clear as a bell, and the pictograph's use of symbols created a…

The kid doesn't need to be setting up a bunch of bottles of water by themself anyway. At best, it's a huge mess. At worst, broken glass, wet floors, you do the math. This is a pictograph to give a sense of an activity and I find it's not merely adequate to that, but it does it in a pleasing aesthetic, and…

Number one, that's why the written instructions are geared toward the parent. Number two, picture #1 is water + bottles. Picture #2 is bottles with water in them, and little arrows pointing to different levels. Picture #3 is a wind blowing across the bottles, which produces musical notes. Looks fairly…

Oh, and also, "slightly more fully"? You got a lot of nerve including that phrase in an article criticizing editorial decisions.

The music bottle instructions are at least slightly more fully formed, although not by much.

I'm pretty sure the type of person calling for a Budweiser boycott for the given reasons don't actually know what 'boycott' means. They probably think it's like being in a boy's cot, which would be totally gay and gross and they'll make fun of it, but they'd totally do it too as long as too many other people who…

This lost me as soon as it tried to position Bee Movie as a good film that people liked.

Well, seeing as roughly 100% of studio movies are designed to be franchise starters, less than they'd hope, but way more than they should.

What's cheeky and fun about it? It's silly. Sort of like Baby Herman from Roger Rabbit. This is not your customary image of a baby. It's not super clever or anything, but I'm not sure where shameful is supposed to be coming from.

The A.V. Club

Water you even talking about?

This announcement really sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

I think it was season 8 when George Jefferson became President of the Dry Cleaners Association.

I really want this movie to come out already, not because I'm all that psyched for it (I run hot and cold on Edgar Wright), but because I'm tired of getting the song stuck in my head every time I see one of these write-ups.

Unions are like any other power structure, prone to mismanagement and corruption. And since, unlike the corporate structure they are designed to keep in check, there is no profit motive keeping them fundamentally in line, they therefore have larger obstacles to overcome in keeping things fair and above board. But as…

I suspect this played out the same way his engagement to J-Lo did:

Good idea, but I think he should play Maggie instead.

You just wait til her Roadhouse reboot comes out and puts the grosses of the new Robocop, Point Break, and Total Recall to shame.

Yeah, I think this system is going to tank.

So it's a pretty sad fried chicken salad with the lettuce, tomato, and dressing folded into the chicken rather than the chicken being layered on top. Not intrigued.
