If she's like any of my friends when we were teenagers, she could get plenty of semen to ruin the icing in the whole batch of cakes from one condom in her bedroom bin.

You're right, and there's no way there'd be as many chuckles about a bullied boy doing the same thing. It's not true to say "only on Jezebel" though. I think you'd be looking for a while to find a website with a high readership that could cover this story and only get uniformly negative responses.

Turns out the girl lovingly made the cupcakes not with bodily secretions, but rather with gross ingredients like mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce. Still very gross. Like really gross. But not E. coli biohazard gross.

No country with gerrymandering is a democracy. The incumbent politician is rewarded with the ability to redraw his/her voting districts' boundaries. Not every politician will exercise the ability, but the ones that do are effectively voting for themselves. Your vote, as a citizen, does not matter very much if you are…

Avril Lavigne's racist dubstep garbage song is on the Billboard Hot 100 now :(

But additionally, the USA isn't a democracy or it would at least have outlawed gerrymandering by now, and my country (UK) is barely any better given that it's FPTP system distorts democracy and it desperately needs some form of proportional representation to steer itself towards being a true democracy. It's remarkable…

I often hear people asserting observations with absolute confidence about the "guys playing these games", and they seem to instantly be imagining a 30-50-ish Forever Alone man. I can see why that might be the case, but I can also imagine why the market for these games could be school-age children or women. Which…

I agree with the general theme of what you're saying, but I don't think that's fully accurate. I don't read a love story to remedy some kind of social paralysis, or watch a romantic film as a buffer between myself and a real life risk. I do that to reinforce those emotions, to feed those things to my mind, and if…

I'm fine with digital distribution, but what I've seen so far is that the distribution is very limited and poorly presented. Sometimes I'll get together with a friend and try and find a film to watch on one of the big movie rental services, only to find that it takes most of the night just to find a film we want to…

It's questionable how private a "private" Twitter channel is, especially if you have nearly 150k followers like Olin does. I realise you meant to make a distinction between "corporate" and "personal", rather than "private", but this is important.

He's welcome to have his thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams, but he can't have power over a woman's body.

Or because she's contractually obliged to maintain her health. Or that it's the job of several people to make sure she gets enough sleep, eats well, and goes to the gym every morning.

Miley Cyrus happened upon her and said something along the lines of, "Get it together, girl!" — which is the true hallmark of absolute debauchery. That's like if Dionysus were to come across you reveling in the woods and say, "Honey, do you want me to call a cab?"

Your zoo reminds me another one from the radio

There isn't anything wrong with Comstock's hands. I understand what's happening though - you can see it as a backwards hand if you're looking from a distance. Look at the full res, and you'll see that the bit you've been seeing as the back of his hand is in fact the big triangle of fatty flesh between the index finger…

You didn't finish the game? 1984 says no :)

Yeah true. I was born in the 70s, and I learned to read with some children's books that dealt with environmental destruction. The fear of nuclear war really peaked during the early 80s, as I remember well. Weird times, but I guess they always are.

It's a phenomenal sculpture. The description saddened me, though. It seems like a very bad idea — almost as if the Pope is, by giving his addresses before it, endorsing the notion of a nuclear war being required before the world sees Jesus resurrected? I expect a lot of people have a problem with that.

Ah, thanks for the link. Yes, I realised after I'd made the post that I was being a bit stupid; the obvious reason to have a camera would be for videocalling!
