That reminded me of a story where a friend of mine taught in Japan and they all assumed he had a big dick because he was American. He's Korean American so it's funny that they do not just apply it to white Americans, they think dicks just grow bigger on everyone here!

Cher's?

Certainly, as with all true crime (which is flowing forth in a constant stream as mass market paperbacks, Primetime and 20/20 episodess, and the entire channel known as Investigation Discovery) there is something squicky about being entertained by other people's tragedy. But that doesn't make the entertainment value…

Wise Up Ghost is alright, I think! I've never heard this fellow's recent output so I can't compare (but I am curious so I'm going to check it out for sure now.) I will say, isn't it possible that jab was tongue in cheek? Out of context it just sounds like him being cheeky. But Stiff did try to make them do a split…

Thanks for breaking it all down. I clicked on this just to see if there was any discussion about her and why she's so popular because, as an old, I could not stomach more than a few seconds of the above video and was already viscerally upset by just her facial expression and lipstick whenever I've accidentally seen…

OOh no I loved her "American accent," thought it was quite entertaining. How exactly did she not "do" it? What more is "doing" it than knowing the words and inflections and being able to perform with some personality?

Guileless was that word I was looking for! I guess it could all bean act but she seems so not self-conscious in a way that is just not what you expect from her- both based on her bland, not-particularly-fun music and on her just being a megastar. I guess this is also why I'm supposed to like Jennifer Lawrence but hers…

I read something about it how she just likes to dress conservatively for no real reason other than it's her preference, pointing out both that it doesn't have anything to do with hiding her body and that she loves when Rihanna and the like show their "bums", it's just not her style.

It totally does, I totally clicked, and I was totally delighted. I don't have too much use for her music other than not being offended by it when I hear it at the mall BUT I love her as a personality.

She does really lay on the eye makeup but for some reason I give her a pass, I still think she looks lovely (even if by the end some mascara has smudged up in her eyelid.) I like to think she's got consultants trying to get to tone it down but she globs it on when they aren't looking.

I can't go quite as far as just calling her a lying junkie like that, but I've read enough about it to know that while she was in a terrible abusive relationship with Traynor, to say this whole film is a crime (since there were many other men and women who were participating willingly as far as we know) is extreme. …

Although it's not nearly as wrought as white men who prefer Asian women (almost all considered kinda creepy) I do feel weird when I say "I like Asian guys" as a white woman. Not exclusively, of course (I ended up with a fairhaired white guy) but when you start saying you like their hair texture and skin tone, well,…

I have a real tooth thing…super white straight teeth just do not do it for me. Give me a gap, give me slightly larger than average, give me a snaggle, just something with a little flair.I know it would be less weird if I said I liked someone's smile but in always comes out "I like your/their teeth!" which is weird to…

"back with a crack"

I was about to chime in with those too (because I watched them both yesterday…yes, like 8 hours of TV.) They're both on YouTube which makes it easy. I went in deep on reading about The Staircase after it was over and (kind of ) SPOILER

People are really going in hard on the brother based on, like you said, 15 minutes of screen time. I got frustrated when he seemed convinced that Avery did it and overly focused on a guilty verdict, as I'm sure many viewers were, but living in that community that looked down on the Avery's so openly and having no…

Eh, I think people are reading way too much into that. While I agree he had kind of a creepy vibe (which likely only reads that way because most of us are convinced Steven didn't do it and are looking for alternate suspects) I think it would be very easy to misspeak when you are going through such a terrible…

After we left that movie, the girls I saw it with all said a) That just made me so happy and b) I can't wait to see it again. There are not a lot of movies like that! For being such a inane sounding concept -male strippers!- it really is much more thoughtful than it needs to be. My friends and I LOST OUR MINDS when…

You're right in that I'm used to finding it very exhausting among the young Tumblr activist crowd to be so sensitive and it really doesn't happen on here much at all which is why it took me by surprise and I chimed in. Like I said, I like having a discussion about it because there are definitely cases where things Dan…

I think I was being kind of glib, sorry, I know what you mean, I'm generally pretty fine with myself but with moments of insecurity about my weight and appearance in general. The point I was trying to make is more that I worry about getting right with myself and less about what others say. I think that should be the…
