I heard the Walter character from The Muppets described as the Jason Segel Muppet avatar, which was especially dumb because Jason Segel also played a human character in the movie.

21 vacation days?! Day-mn.

She wrote $600, not $6000. It's still a lot, but if you were traveling and staying in a hotel, that's not an outrageous amount.

I've been watching Switched at Birth on Netflix Instant (oh, ABC Family, I can't quit you) and there's a (boring) sub-plot about the son in the family getting married so his parents are planning the rehearsal dinner and who is invited. The rehearsal dinner. Back in my day (I'm in my 20s), the rehearsal dinner was for…

Don't really care, it's just baffling that they don't see the hypocrisy. "I was mean* to someone and now other people are being mean** to me! Wah!"

Except that then they boo-hoo "We're being oppressed for our Constitutionally-protected beliefs!" You can believe whatever you want, you can say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean that people won't call you an asshole (that's their right too).

Thank you for referring to him as Harris' cousin.

First of all, it's…

OH NO, THE ALL KARDASHIAN/JENNER CAST!

Good point. Someone in another comment asked if it was a bit unfair to keep asking 20-year-old pop stars about feminism, because it sets them up for criticism no matter what. One thing that definitely is unfair: asking female pop stars about it but not male pop stars.

Oh, you oppose gay divorce?

"Illegal rape" is redundant. Doesn't matter what word comes before rape— marital, date, statutory, prison—it's all illegal. The mental gymnastics that people do to get to the place you're describing, to rationalize it, justify it...drives me insane.
