That meat statue looks surprisingly clean to me! Wouldn't you get a much, much gorier result if you REALLY built some kind of mountain out of bones, meat and fruit? Why does everything always have to be so polished on tv, even the gore :-(

@lilyHaze: Point taken. I'm a computer-lover but it's all desktop all the time for me and I've never really used a laptop, so I didn't think about that. I'll bear it in mind if I ever buy a laptop though!

@femaledwightschrute: But isn't it true that for people who are THAT un-tech-savvy specs don't really matter, anyway? If you're only going to use your netbook/laptop/whatever to google a little, play some solitaire, maybe write an e-mail from time to time and download one cd in 5 years (I'm describing my mother's…

@moissie: I do that too but I wouldn't want the computer to BE the mirror - I like to put the mirror next to the screen so that I can watch some video or surf a little while putting on my make-up. Which usually results in less than adequate attention for either activity, but I still like it!

I love sparkly/pink/both (best of all!), stereotypically feminine or not, but I'd like that to be part of the normal gamma, yeah. Same specs, different color, not specifically marketed as "the female version, easy to use, with extra diet tools and a mirror". I know how to use a computer, thanks. And if I want to I…

I didn't know who Jerry Ferrara was so I image-googled him and he's not even that fat. It was a horrible question anyway and I get why you would post this here (jezebel is all about raising the blood pressure of its readers by reminding them how many awful people there are out there and what awful things they do!),…

@se7a7n7: In that case, the preview function is perfect!

@BarnabasBias: The preview function hasn't worked for me since the last update; I hope it'll be back now because I used it a lot before (love the extension!), though I'm used to going without it by now.

My mom, a few years ago: "What's wrong with this computer? I'm typing my name but the first letter isn't capitalised :-("

I'm really curious about what she means by "unlike those strident advocates of gay marriage"; who are they trying to exclude from what kind of happiness, exactly? The happiness of inequality? I'm sure that must be it, but I'm curious about how she formulates it.

Again, people looking sexy (or trying to) in (admittedly rather ugly) underthings, to try to make people buy them, so they can look (some version of) sexy too. Still can't see the problem. Can't see how that violates women's rights, at all.

I always write in cursive, because it's just 100x faster to write that way, you almost never have to lift your pen. But this print only thing is probably an American phenomenon, anyway? Do you learn to write in print? I learned to write in cursive so it's the most natural thing in the world and I don't know anybody…

I always use shampoo to shave my legs! Or soap, or conditioner, it doesn't really matter, any slightly foamy thing will do, I just use the cheapest bottle in the bathroom. It doesn't make any difference and it saves money. Maybe it's not the same for facial hair though, I can imagine that the skin on your face is more…

@PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA: She didn't write that, originally, though...It's a great song and I love the person who did write it (Bruce 4-ever!) but it's a bit of a shame that her biggest (/only real) hit was a song she didn't write herself, while she does that SO WELL.

Did he fall on his head? Nothing in that excerpt makes much sense to me, especially the part about "the modern mind" wanting to "avoid all conflict" because that's "undemocratic". And please, stop using the terms "ironic" and "gauchiste radicals" in the same sentence (or more ideally, altogether) if you have no idea…

@chicaferoza: I think so, too! You should read "The Sopranos" by Alan Warner. It's probably my favourite book at the moment, great (Scottish! poetic in a none-embarrasingly-trying-very-hard... way!) language and fantastic characters, the best portrayal of teenage girls I've ever read. I think things like that really…

@cait98: Me too, I've been checking his wikipedia article every few months for the last couple of years just to see if there's a new novel coming out soon. Both "The Virgin Suicides" and "Middlesex" are among my very favourite books (which seems to be rare, almost everyone here seems to love one and hate/don't care…

@Honeybunch: Just like the gays :-(

@chocolatecoffeebeans: I hate cheese, have no particular opinion about cake and LOVE cheesecake. I've only had it twice in my life though and both times it was a birthday treat from a very thin girl who was just obsessed with this recipe. This cheesecake theory doesn't seem right :-(

What do they mean "look more like the viewing public"? Is the majority of people in the US really "plus-size" already, or are they just implying that people who watch tv = mainly fat lazy couch potatoes? I'm really confused.
