Well, duh. I believe Plato figured this out over 2,000 years ago: empty vessels make the most noise.

Wow. Interesting. I wonder what it tastes like?

I am seriously disappointed in everyone here. This post has been up for over 40 minutes, and there hasn't been a single snide comment yet. Did all your little brains short-circuit in confusion over loving the LGBTQ community vs hating Lena Dunham so much?

You're wrong. Consider yourself corrected.

I usually really like Susanne Bier's movies (especially Brothers and After The Wedding), so it pains me to say it, but this looks overblown and pedestrian, with bad acting and cliched dialogue. Maybe it's just a really bad trailer, though?

Anyone else think Hedwig is kind of overrated? I mean, it's no Rocky Horror, or Priscilla, is it?

Oh, I don't know; I have some peppermint lube and I rather like the sensation of it. I can't be that odd - it's a mainstream brand that I bought in a pharmacy.

Serious question: 42yo woman goes out with a 17yo guy - are you saying she is automatically an abuser?

You see, when I watched it, she instantly became my favorite kid of all time. She brought some reality to this whole bullshit internet craze, and her intonation and timing were both pitch perfect. I couldn't stop laughing.

Not Cockney; sounds like Midlands to me, maybe Birmingham area? And yes, she is definitely saying 'Fuckin' 'ell!', and her inflection is PERFECT. Love it.

Agree wholeheartedly.

"She always looks like she is on the verge of flaying you open with her eyeballs and devouring your entrails, which is a quality I admire in a woman." Me too. I wish she didn't do crapola like this, though - even Penny Dreadful is Bergmanesque in comparison.

Ah. Oops. Thought your comment was about the book, and did not read the comment you're replying to. In that case, well done.

Wrong.

My thought process on reading this:

That's Joe Biden!

That's The Hound!

No, probably the same in Canada and the US. 27 is the average age; teenagers and over-40s help average it out. You didn't see your peers reading it at uni because they are (presumably) above-average intelligence, and had therefore outgrown it mentally. Anyone over, say, 20 who regularly reads Cosmo is basically not…

Actually, no. You'd be surprised. The average age of our readership (in the UK, in the mid-2000s) was 27. Women in their 40s would always write in to complain that we didn't include their birth years in those stupid horoscope features. Crazy but true.

Dude, you've got it right. It makes me laugh that anyone would take Cosmo sex tips seriously - don't people know that we used to just get drunk in the office and think up the most bizarre shit just for the hell of it?! It was so much fun!
