She's extremely talented…

Yup, because the Imagineers are different people with their own opinions, and while they can't control what their CEO does, they CAN control how they design their park attractions.

Weekend Update this season especially has basically come across as a "Best Of…" compilation of jokes already made on Twitter.

Ugh, I was hoping the headline meant it literally. I'm sick of Seth McFarlane and his lowest common denominator TV shows. When can we just be rid of him for good?

I think the band even referred to themselves as queer indie rock, and perform in drag, or non-gender conforming clothes.

Yikes, this is awful. They're supposed to play a local festival here in Wichita, Riverfest. I wonder if they're going to get dropped here, too.

Also, it DID have a xenomorph, of sorts. And it was really silly looking and not scary in the least.

Haha, you're SO close, and yet the point sails blissfully over your head.

Precisely! Colbert and his writers didn't consider the wider context of how gay sex and oral sex are viewed in our culture, and they didn't examine why gay oral sex was their chosen analogy for Trump being subservient to Putin. They had good intentions, but that ignorance perpetuated homophobic and misogynistic

My god, you're not very smart. Why is the go-to analogy for a power imbalance homosexual oral sex? That IS why it's homophobic, because it plays on the stereotype that oral sex in general and gay oral sex specifically is a subservient act. It's rooted in misogyny originally, which is where the homophobia comes from,

Yeah, that bothers me. I love Colbert and I know he's no homophobic, but that joke definitely was. And people should feel comfortable occupying that middle ground of recognizing the terrible joke while also not thinking Colbert is a horrible person who should be fired.

Just because you personally don't know of actors or people that actually fit those roles doesn't mean they don't exist. Emma Stone's character was based on an actual woman, so they're out there. It's still incredibly lazy.

This situation is especially insulting to the people of Ni'ihau because it is a rather unique island in the Hawaiian chain. It was privately bought in the 1860s under the agreement that the Native Hawaiian language and customs of the people living there would be preserved. It is the only place in Hawaii where Native

Good point, I forgot about that!

You're Really Going to Need Some More Kill

I listed them because Husker Du's album Zen Arcade is seen by many as the first "emocore" album, more or less, although the genre itself wouldn't really form until Embrace and Rites of Spring formed in the several years following its release.

I dunno, I don't think is all that funny. Roiland clearly has a problem with alcohol, which even Harmon has said before. I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of watching stuff like this. =/

Emo is such a vague descriptor. Are you talking about Husker Du? Embrace? Rites of Spring? Fugazi? Sunny Day Real Estate? Jawbreaker? Or are you talking about Hawthorne Heights? Further Seems Forever? Jimmy Eat World? The Get Up Kids? Taking Back Sunday?

This review barely got around to describing the music, so it's not of much use to me.

It doesn't matter what YOU think. That's no context. Context is the way our culture and media present such sexual acts. That's literally what context is. And our culture and media present sucking did as a subservient act. I'm so glad YOU don't think that, but unfortunately "you" and "everyone else" aren't the same
