People were expecting a muppet show just like the one in the 70s. That worked. In the 70s. They tried it again in the 90s and it just didn’t work anymore. This is pretty much exactly where the Muppets should be to be relevant in the comedy world today.

Law enforcement now uses “child sexual abuse material”, abbreviated as CSAM. They specifically don’t use “porn” because porn has the connotation that it’s sexy and fun. CSAM are essentially crime scene photos.

Fuck everything about this movie and Roland Emmerich. If he’s not interested in providing a representative account of queer and LGBT activists, not interested in challenging straight audiences, and not interested in putting himself into the movie as anyone other than the protagonist... what exactly is he doing making…

There can only be one white Shrek

No Country For Old White Gay Men

All major religions are fucked up patriarchies! Just a reminder.

Haha, I feel like it would be the other way around. Amy would be like, “Yeah, I’m a comedian. That doesn’t mean all I want to talk about are farts.”

Well...sure, but nurses are mostly women and get paid a decent salary and thus matter to advertisers. Plus, there are a lot of gender dynamics going on around the stereotypes of nurses and doctors. I know for a fact people will rip my face off here for saying it but - both physicians and nurses have a four year…

She’s the 21st century Woody Allen. Black people don’t exist, especially not in New York.

I still use my sphygmomanometer and stethoscope when my patient’s BP is tanking. I like to report a manual BP when I report to a doctor.

Actually a pretty good example. When I first worked in hospitals,(1965) nurses did not start IV’s, did not take blood pressure (or it was immediately repeated by a doctor for ‘accuracy’). The stethoscope was left hanging on the BP machine (sphygmomanometer) so no one walked around with one around his or her neck.…

I love Amy and I think she deserved to win. But her hairstylist needs to shape up or ship out s/he is doing her wrong at every appearance.

The explanation is right there in your point two though. All of those are *marginalised* groups. People who have been historically (and in some sections of the public still are) perfectly acceptable targets for vitriol. Who doesn’t like nurses though? All the groups you mentioned there’s going to be other groups going…

This is what’s wrong with America right here. This. Not Bristol Palin herself, but what she represents — the fact that so many stunningly, proudly pig-ignorant, determinedly undereducated, information-resistant people think they know enough about anything to tell others how they should think and behave.

Yes, Bristol, you’re absolutely right. The police who dragged a 14-year-old out of school in handcuffs for building a science project and subjected him to hours of racist interrogation without allowing him access to a lawyer or his parents are the real victims here. The police and white people everywhere. Can’t put…

nothing you could ever attempt to call a white person will ever, ever, ever compare to that word. it’s a false equivalence, and you know it. stop it.

oh, sure because the term “whitey” has the exact same connotations and terrible background that “nigger” does. i completely forgot that “whitey” was used when hanging them from a tree, tarring them, and or calling to them when they were slaves.

Repeat after me, Matt: “ I’m sorry I was wrong, and I’ll try to be better in the future. I hope my own predjudices will be used to start an insightful conversation on white males in Hollywood”

...I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood.

I know nothing about the show (European here) so please tell me if I am wrong (because I really want to be). Is the only person of colour ALSO the only woman? In which case it really tells something about their idea of diversity; “ok guys, we need one POC, one female, let’s just make that the same person, check, much…
