Taco Hell?

In before the white-hot nuclear takes about reverse discrimination and prejudi—oops, too late:

Can we excise the word “authenticity” from food writing? What is authentic? Is something not authentic if they’re third-generation Chinese-American and they eat moo goo gai pan? Is authentic geography-based? Does progress and time dilute authenticity even if it’s cooking done in the heart of Chengdu? It’s such a…

You are not an intelligent person and no one values anything you have to say.

Exactly. It’s easy to stay together when things are going well and you’re happy. It’s what you do the other 75% of the time, when life threatens to get in the way, that determines if you make it as a couple. Some partnerships are worth fighting for, and some should wither on the vine and die. It seems like Miley and…

You do realize you have to report back, right? Because a) it’s the law and b) I don’t even know you and my curiosity is piqued. What can I say? I’m a boring married lady in need of a slutty story.

“They are great together when they are happy,” says the source.

I agree Mohammed belongs on the list. Jesus still wins, however, because he has a 600 year head start.

Apart from Muhammad, who’s already been mentioned a few times in the comments, Politics seems like a pretty big gap. Mao is known by at least a billion people. But I’d bet religious figures would fill the entire top 5: Jesus, Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, and David. Maybe swap in Buddha?

I feel like that whole “No depictions of him ever or woe unto you” thing probably hurts Muhammad in the fame department vs. Jesus who, say what you will, knew how to brand.

I don’t know. In order to be famous somebody would have to be able to recognize your face, right? Well, just try to get somebody to accurately depict the prophet Muhammad. All of a sudden everybody’s memory gets real foggy.

There are nearly as many followers of Islam as there are Christians. If you’re putting Jesus and The Pope on this list, obviously Muhammad — praise and blessings be upon his name — ought to be as well, no?

or buddha. because you can actually depict buddha.

My top 5:

She was asked about the movie and she responded. She also talked about her brother’s suicide and how she was booked Pan Am 103, the flight from the Lockerbie bombing. There were a lot of other topics discussed. It’s not like she keeps bringing it up, people keep asking her about it.

Exactly - she isn’t starting these conversations. She is answering the question.

On August 10, ABC News reported that Betts “demonstrated a misogyny that was far more extreme than any of his political leanings.”
