I don’t know. I don’t care if you watch it or anything, but I remember back in the day there used to be a big “war” on /tv/ about whether Lost or The Wire was a better show. Considering that the last time anyone wrote about Lost was when Weezer dropped Hurley and people are still writing about The Wire to this day,…

No, she’s not a “really good singer.” It’s the same bullshit trend we’ve been seeing on and off for the last several decades. People who don’t know better think having powerful voice with some range to it is singing talent. It’s not. That’s like saying someone with a large vocabulary and good grammar is a great…

Well, there are two separate problems, in my opinion: First, all the ‘bad singing’ stuff the vocal coach is mentioning. Second, the issue of taste: The National Anthem is not supposed to be sung as a seductive torch song, where the singer eye-fucks the audience. This came about as the result of Fergie being a trashy…

And by “a recent post” I actually mean a commenter because that seems as reliable as any reporting on the subject at this point.

Not true, at least for me. I’d be uncomfortable condemning anyone if the only evidence of wrongdoing was second and third-hand rumors, and if the supposed sources of those accusations started directly refuting them.

I’m so confused by this whole thing. I remember the original blind item and the assumption that it was Louis CK.

This is getting boring and a little gross. It’s reminding me of the call for unedited photos of Lena Dunham – skeevy and not what I’d expect from this site.

I don’t even see the Matrix code anymore. All I see is... blonde, brunette, redhead...

People also forget that if it wasn’t for us, Iran would still have Democracy. Gotta love those CIA backed coups.

came here hoping someone would know the history. wasnt disappointed. for the uninformed google :confessions of an economic hitman

Right. It’s important to remember that all of the anti-Shah movement essentially unified behind the religious extremists because they were the only ones powerful and organized enough to mount a serious revolution.

We have fucked up pretty much all of the middle east and central america before it.

Look! someone who uses facts to make a point! Well done!

Likewise, and not to steal emphasis from Iran issues, but the U.S. has done this sort of thing dozens of times. Assassinating democratically elected heads of state, aiding rebels and escalating unrest when the US haven’t liked (or benefited from) governments in power, and propping up regimes that are aligned with US…

I would hardly classify Iran as evil. It has a messed up government, but all the people I have met are wonderful.

Hey, don’t forget that we also manipulated and bankrolled Saddam Hussein into invading Iran, which led to hundreds of thousands of Iranian dead. And on top of that, we supplied Saddam’s chemical weapons development program, which he used to gas tens of thousands of Iranian soldiers and civilians (and later, our good…

It always frustrates me to know so many Americans are completely unaware of how we as a nation helped caused the clusterfuck that is Iran today. We overturned a democratically elected government to protect our (and British) oil interests, and the dictator we put into power created the environment that allowed…

Why would I put my personal data on a server with 24/7 access to any hacker that can let a cracking program run for days or weeks?
