OMG, I haven't seen GMA one. I would be apocalyptically pissed off.

Aw you're making me blush. Well, you did the hard work of explaining even further. I got a bunch of (4) replies from a guy who could not see the difference between a well-executed dark joke at the situation/perpetrator and those at the expense of the victims which is a good reminder that calling it out is very…

Ya, he has a vibe. He was recently on The Colbert Report and it was 'painfully unfunny' as well, but also really uncomfortable to watch. He was all over the place, talking nonsense. In whatever way his faculties are diminished, his ego certainly didn't seem to be though. He held court, playing it like I'm Bill Cosby…

Not buying it. I've run enough marathons, and you get in such a groove that it is almost impossible to speed your pace up that quickly from one half to the next.

The only way you'd run a sub-3 with a 17-minute negative split is if you got stuck behind a train for the first half.

Negative splits are plausible. 55 minute 1/2 marathon is not.

1 in 4 women are victims of rape. The murder rate in the US is something like 5 in 100,000. Its the difference between something that is abnormal and something that's part of daily life. Most audiences won't contain any relatives of murder victims, they are though on average 20% sexual assault victims.

There is zero chance an amateur runner ran the 2nd half of a sub-3 hour marathon 17 minutes faster than the first. ZERO.

As the relative non-contributor here, I will run finances and PR. You guys will have to be in charge of ideas.

You can totally have a wedding in line with your values like that. I'm going to one in January. The invitations are all recycled paper, they booked a beautiful room, so there's no need for decoration. The food is locally sourced for one meal, and coming from a supermarket with a strong fairtrade section and a genuine…

Oh, absolutely. Jokes at the expense of victims (like Michael Brown), particularly from people with institutional power over those people, are IMO a way of reasserting power. I have approximately negative infinity time for jokes about marginalised victims of violent crime.

To be fair, twitter is full of Mike Brown "jokes." But, your basic point is spot on to the greater scheme of things that are a continuing threat and part of a culture of violence and degradation. Also, just to piggyback on your comment, jokes that target the victim and not the perpetrator or act in and of itself…

I never heard about that interview, but that sounds AWFUL.

I know I shouldn't bite, but eh. When was the last time you heard an attempted murder joke? or a torture joke? I'm serious. Give me some of the good ones.

They're not the same because there isn't a horrific culture surrounding either of those things that continues to further violate the victim after the fact. We don't…

See that's why I had zero problem with people on Twitter making a joke out of it. They were making fun of the (alleged) wrongdoer and not the victims. I can totally live with that.

Okay I'll bite.

Buffy people? Remember how no one could remember that Ben was Glory and Glory, Ben? I had to hear the rape allegations 3 times before they stuck. My mind wanted to reject the whole concept, even though I'm all for outing and punishing rapists

You know that hoarse quack sound a duck makes when startled from behind (shut up YOU KNOW YOU DO). That's the noise I just made reading that.

I loved that video. Any guy who would pop the question without discussing it with her first is a duck and should be shamed. The last guy in particular- was that one even real? "I've been with my girlfriend a couple of months..." No, dude. DO NOT EVEN.

Typically, when someone writes "FUCK all of you that think I am unstable and on Drugs!!!!!!" they're probably fine.
