Weird how that works. I wouldn't say it's shocking at all.

I think it's kind of telling that he can say this but can't think, hm maybe this is why female protagonists are important.

Bingo — this sums it up. There's nothing fake about taking it into consideration, or seeing that there's a gap in their storytelling and looking to correct it (hiring more women, looking for a women-centric story, etc.).

Then Pixar really should hire more lady directors.

Are you saying that the creative team at Pixar couldn't say, 'well we should do a story with a female protagonist, we've never done that before' and then create a genuine character from there?

"I don't think it was important in that we were looking at a slate of movies and said, "You know, we need a female protagonist. It's been 25 years.""

P. Diddy is actually pretty active in philanthropic communities, isn't he? He won a Robie Award from the Jackie Robinson Foundation just last year.

Yeah but until the university funding system is completely overhauled, merit-based scholarships are getting funded in part by the money schools like this pull in from their ridiculous profitable sports program. This scholarship isn't anywhere near the amount of money their football team will earn over four years per…

It's a football scholarship?

Call me when it's Tim Drake, DC.

That's exactly what I thought the headline meant, too!

If there was a woman baller that good (and I think we're getting there), she'd probably just play in the European Leagues, to be honest.

Ehhh I wouldn't go that far. Also this study did not actually do any recording of /what/ television was being watched.
