Fun fact! I once walked in on a sort of well-known celebrity (she had a role on what was then an uber popular HBO show) doing blow in a bathroom in Manhattan. To her credit, she didn't miss a beat and offered my girlfriend a line (obviously she said yes). I didn't partake, but it was epic, and I think of it every time

If you add masturbating and eating a hot pocket, then it's mine!

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I didn't think you were saying that, and I totally agree with you about calling the police. I'm shocked that no one did. I guess it's the bystander affect, and it's scary as hell. This is why I always step in if I see something like this happening (well, I've never seen this particular

Something very similar happened to me when I was pregnant with my youngest child, and BOTH of my other kids (at the time ages 6 and 2) were totally nonplussed. Thankfully my husband was in the next room, and was able to come help. That preggo dizziness is a bitch, isn't it?

Well, to be fair, this isn't the New York Times. I come to Jez looking for a more casual tone. I agree, using the term "nodding off" without explanation in a more serious publication would have thrown me.

Isn't it a pretty common term? If not in one's every day life, then at least in the movies or on television. I know I've heard the term more than once on shows like SVU and CSI, and definitely on House. I agree, an explanation would've been cool (I know at this point he's included one), but I can see how he might have

Ah, see I was only able to see the first 10 seconds of the video or so before it started spazing out (I don't know if it's an issue on Jez's end or mine). Her responding to outside stimuli makes me think it was probably drugs, or at least not epilepsy.

I get your point (and as a life-long New Yorker I've seen plenty of crazy stuff) but my sister is epileptic and her seizures often look similar to this. I'm not saying that's what's going on in thee video, but knowing what I know about both substance abuse and epilepsy, I'm hesitant to judge without knowing more

RIGHT??????

such fish. very yum. Wow.

I might be mistaken, but I believe that Mia Farrow defended Polanski at the time (when much less of the case was public knowledge). I don't think she still defends him.

Did you really just compare the TSA to the Nazis? Your argument is now completely invalid.

She had a child at 19, NOT 15. Did you not read the article? And she never "left" them, that is categorically untrue and refuted by the daughters. Again, did you NOT read the article? I had my oldest at 19 and finished school, and I certainly didn't have to leave her to do so.

There's gonna be a special part of hell JUST for Santorum and he will be kept FAR away from the fun part of hell (AKA where we'll be).

I think it's pretty obvious that Lena Dunham has bad posture. I've been saying that for a couple of years, now. Hell, most people have bad posture. I don't think it's an insult, but it's uncomfortable and can cause problems later in life.

By posting this, you're no better than US Weekly or any other gossip magazine. Period.

As someone who counsels victims of domestic abuse, I think it's inaccurate to pretend like the only form of violence is physical. You can argue the semantics all you want, but I firmly believe that emotional and mental abuse is an insidious form of violence. And I have lived it. Emotional, mental and very much so

Ehhh. Do I condone what Kanye did? Nope, no way, no how. Would I react the same way. I hope not and honestly don't think so. Do I have a smidgen of sympathy for him in this situation? Yeah. He reacted badly, but the situation was tense and he snapped, IMO.

Do you really not read this as humorous, and even a bit sarcastic? The whole point is to lament how bad casual sex can be, and poke fun at the myths about committed sex, IMO.

Sounds good to me. This already makes you better than 80% of every single guy ever.
