as an oldschool punk rocker, i can say with authority that not caring about important stuff is the OPPOSITE of punk rock.

hey idiot, every society ever has always looked to its popular culture for moral direction. demeaning what's currently popular as if it's somehow inferior to what was mainstream popular in prior years or decades or eras just means you are a stupid douche who doesn't understand human beings or civilization.

penetration is generally not the way most women climax….

nobody's saying you can't. just saying it's really fucking lame the way so much attention and fascination gets heaped on these monsters.

you're giving them too much credit. ignorance and idiocy is only half the story — there's also a boundless seething contempt for empathy in any form.

the puppeteer of human kindness?

there was a dude on reddit who claimed to be a muppet performer, who months ago said this was coming, and who said it was a shame because whitmire was a good dude.

I didn't like their shtick on avclub, but messing with the morning news stuff is golden.

the one that gets me is when a slightly singed Dr, Nick is standing outside his burning office wailing "inflammable means flammable? what a country!"

in that case, the public perception was entirely accurate. but yes i agree - the NES Seal of Approval was not ENTIRELY about Nintendo being fusty Japanese weirdos about content *** … it was also about giving the consumer some reassurance that the game wasn't a half-assed piece of shit.

" I didn't say they didn't care. I said they didn't care MORE. I also did not say they care less."

i think he's one of a very small number of people on this planet who have earned the right to say that with a straight face.

except the show failed because he was definitely too much of a dick (and an idiot). he was like the protagonist of a lazy sitcom, where every crisis is because he was fundamentally being selfish and dishonest, leading to escalating misunderstandings and so on. that's nothing like his character on The Muppet Show. …

is this a joke? he was more Kermit than anyone else on the planet. and the stuff he was opposed to is exactly the stuff that got that stupid show canceled because people didn't like that Kermit was acting out of character.

what does that have to do with anything? the environment has been a consumer and political issue for about as long as civilization has existed. don't get all salty just because in your ignorance you thought millennials invented the concept.

i'm pretty sure you mean musty — meaning stale, damp, or moldy-smelling — unless your basement actually smelled like the glandular secretions of a musk ox.

ironically, E.T. is probably in the upper half of all 2600 games in terms of overall quality and fun.

Earth Day and the Environmental Protection Agency were both created in 1970. The Green Party has been around since the early 80s. People have cared about the environment pretty much forever. You can go back as far as you want. The Sierra Club was set up in the 1890s. Henry David Thoreau was talking about this…
