Braxton? Don't tell me his last name is Hicks...

"Christians don't like to be reminded of all the shitty things they have done throughout history": I've certainly done my share of shitty things "throughout history", but none of them related to the crusades or the inquisition. I don't hold myself responsible for the inquisition in any way. I can't be held personally…

I don't consider any of these disgusting, but from a stereotypical North-American point of view I guess some might be considered unusual (depending on where you live): frogs legs and snails (obviously, as the stereotypical French I am) calf's head, cow's tongue and cheek, French-style pig or cow trotters,…

Blood sausage is probably what I would order on death row. With pan-fried apples. Not joking one bit.

Oh well that's not too bad. I was expecting something equally horrid as casu marzu. Oh by the way everyone, whatever you do don't google casu marzu. By which I mean go google it immediately.

That's what I read too. A symptom of Alzheimer is dishinibition. He may have been that much of a shitstain all his life, but have had enough sense to keep it private so far. Also, the fact that he was denying the charges while simultaneously uttering racial slurs may point to some degree of confusion.

That's kind of his point, I think.

So... unless I'm completely out of it, the majority of io9 readers are utterly sarcasm-impaired.

As someone who just has just a passing knowledge of how Hitchcock used to treat the women he was dealing with, I feel it's the understatement of the century.

I wouldn't know because I'm not familiar enough with the subtleties of either American or British English. But there is an equivalent phrase in French — my first language — which would be tolerable from a little old lady trying hard to show she's not racist, and would be outrageous from a politician who should know…

"the realization that poverty made men seek relief in alcohol which in turn made them abuse women and children": this just in, alcohol doesn't "make" anyone do anything. Being an alcoholic doesn't make you violent, and many people are violent while perfectly sober.

Mine will be named Berthillon. Full name: Berthillon Cacao Extra Bitter.

Hahaha! Color me unsurprised. Typical French administration. I should know.

4- Isn't Lawrence Brownlee a regular at the Met too?

If everyone in opera is "supposed" to be the color, age and physical hotness of their roles, we're screwed. And people like Kathleen Battle or Leontyne Price would never have had a career, which would make me very very sad.

Glad I'm not alone in there. I had a vague notion of who Iggy Azalea might be (not that I actually know what she's singing, mind you, I just would have been able to tell that she's some blond hip-hop singer). But I had to google Azealia Banks. Yeah, I'm old, but I've been unhip all my life so I'm totally used to never…

Yikes! That's hideous. My poor Paris!

The fact that doctor Guillotin felt the need for a machine to make beheading more humane is a strong indicator that such botching were in fact common (and then of course it went awfully awry, in spite of the fact that Guillotin was opposed to death penalty, but that's beside the point).

Ah, thanks. I was born and raised in France, and used to be an occasional reader of CH before I moved abroad. When I see the staff of this magazine being portrayed like a bunch of racist knuckle draggers, it pains me. These guys had a vastly questionable sense of humor, and they were sometimes just plain unfunny to…

Hahaha! As far as I'm concerned, he's a kiddo and not dating material, but I definitely see where you're coming from. Guy's easy on the eyes all right.
