"All in all, if the bra "is uncomfortable, then this is probably not the bra for you"."

Would you call your jeans brand "iNHABITANT"? No? Then why call it "dENIZEN"? Words mean things. It's something I was informed of once.

I wish I'd had someone to guide me along in those days, but unfortunately for me that didn't happen. The first year I was one of the most popular girls of the class, the second year my whole class had turned on me for reasons I still don't completely understand and I'd become "the lesbian" because I'd cut my hair…

@lilkimbo: How lovely that you're checking out before any real discussion. See, I, too, have no problem with men gawking at the waitresses at Hooters. I know management's generally pretty good, that the women working there can make good money, that it puts them through school and/or food on the table, and that they…

@drunkexpatwriter: But will Hooters make the task of changing all that any easier?

@lilkimbo: Questioning whether this endeavour is energy well-spent is perhaps not the same thing as saying they don't have the right, but it's close. And some commenters are saying that instead of protesting, they should be educating. Make of that what you will.

@Plum-Pie: Agreed on both counts. Any group of people has the right to protest any kind of development in their city. You don't have to agree with it and you might catch them in some faulty reasoning (which I don't know is the case here), but it's their right. We don't have Hooters here, but god knows that whenever I…

@magnets: Much better than my first response, which was to want to write "this is ridiculous."

If you're rolling your eyes at a teacher with a legitimate complaint and the only one who will come to you defence is your daughter, you should know you've hit rock bottom.

Would I be a horrible disappointment to postmodernism if I said that maybe she's just a big woman and they're just small guys and it doesn't *mean* anything?

You may think or say what you will about Snooki, but I bet she's having more fun there than any of us are having right now.

@Shancan: The fuckyeahjohnnyweir tumblr is a treasure trove.

I wonder if there will be someone defending this man. Say, with the argument that this man didn't notice what he was doing, or that the person who tweeted his picture is invading his privacy, or that perhaps she just misread what he was doing... Or does that only happen when things get crossposted?

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): I'd say it makes you more American than me, but that's not hard considering I'm... not American.

Eh, though the sentiment is great, I still don't think it's fair to say you're "more American" than persons X, Y, or Z.

@amazon_ww: I think that depends on how you define "harder."

Lysacek is just bitter he'll never be as fabulous as this.

Dear everyone,

So basically I've been living the fashion equivalent of eating fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the past 14 years?

@GreyCat: I was gonna say, "cue people asking why she had nude pics of herself in the first place AND probably racist comments about outsourcing to India."
