Ok, so obviously so many of these stories will easily trump mine. But I once fainted in graduate school while attempting to eat pickled pig feet. Like I went to take a bite on a dare from a friend I was staying with and just fell the fuck out. I couldn't handle it. To this day, I still get the dry heaves when I see…

That's really awesome feedback. And to be fair, no publication is perfect. But for some reason, it really does seem (at least at face value) to happen more with publications that may not use WOC as models.

Perhaps the solution is to take a page from the past. Lena Horne had this problem decades ago when she screen tested for various hollywood roles. Because they were worried that she would be confused for being white-Max Factor actually created a shade for her (Light Egyptian) to counter the effects of harsh lighting.…

My thoughts exactly. I'll break out my big ass twisted out brown fro to help with the cause. Really, what is her deal with hair?

I'm so glad that Issa's getting some love. She so deserves this. Plus, it will be nice to actually have a diverse face on HBO's evening line up that isn't a vampire. Get it girl.

It's actually from an episode of Robot Chicken on Adult Swim. The Bitch Pudding character became so popular they made a special episode just for her. She's freakin' hilarious.

How about making Bitch Pudding a real character? Seriously, I'd totally watch that.

LOL. You sound like me when I pick up a new treat. I lie and tell myself it's for the food blog. Riiiiight. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Gwyneth's love potion candy costs $108 before you add in the pantry ingredients (ghee, coconut oil, honey.) I can get a giant Hershey bar and get down with my hubby for a lot less.

My engagement ended after my cheating high school sweetheart called me by another woman's name. So I threw the ring onto Interstate 70, which ran behind my parents' house in Indianapolis. It was just a simple claddagh ring, so I don't feel so bad about my decision to do it. But I think about it every time I take 70…

I 'm cautiously excited about this. I saw The Wiz in the theater as a child and it was such a big moment for me-seeing an all-black cast play the characters that I knew from countless reruns of the Wizard of Oz. It was one of the first time I could remember seeing an image on screen that I could identify with. That…

Wow. This guy's humility and courage is simply amazing. Je Suis Lassana Bathily.

Wait. How is Fox News going to report this story? Isn't he the wrong skin color (and faith for that matter) to be considered a good guy? Oh the horror.

Let's hope that she can find more roles worthy of her. Seeing her opposite Pierce Bronson in the Thomas Crown Affair was everything. It really was refreshing to see two grown and sexy people (as opposed to pairing Pierce with someone half his age, which would normally be the case) getting it on without any apologies.

I admit that I used to listen to Michael Savage occasionally when he first came on in Indy years ago because I swore it had to be a satire of a right-winger like the Colbert Report was. He was so damn over the top I thought there was no way anyone could be that full of rage and vitriol. Mind you, I never heard the…

This was actually the first thing I thought of too. Hilarious.

On behalf of sane Hoosiers everywhere (there are a few of us, despite our history of fuckery), I want to apologize for this idiot.

This is just my response to everything on Fox News now. Seriously. Can't they pretend to show some human compassion at least once?

I'm not actually surprised by this. I used to work for a for-profit admissions department and I saw some crazy stuff promised to the students to get them to sign up. The sad thing, it's not just the admissions reps. I was once screamed at by my senior manager for not signing up someone because he wanted to be a…
