Matt Taibbi is one of my favorite, if not my actual favorite muckraking journalist. I believe him when he says that he made all of this stuff up. Ames, I’m not nearly as sure (my heart bleeds for Mr. Ames and his having to expend effort to woo women in the US, instead of just coercing and raping them, as he did in…

Thanks. I'll remember to run my comments past you before I post them.

Ah, the old deadspin-aroo. Hold my takes, I’m going in.

Holy crap. Worse than stealing your bit, they fucked it up too. The “No” link goes to a PDF (!) written by the author to provide “a little more context, for those of you who need it.” Good God, what is wrong with these people.

What I do is forward the original email to the distribution list and ask to be removed, so as to avoid the faux pas of replying all.

I love that excuse... “The players today didn’t do anything....they shouldn’t be punished....think of those kids whose lives will be ruined....”

(I Agree. 100%. Plus, has no one ever expressed wretched awe at the fact that the John Doe victims numbered well past 100? It really took John Doe 108 for some one to finally say enough is enough?

The glorious thing is, none of us has to watch any of it.

That’s probably the worst. 2nd worst is “poetess.”

I love that she’s floating and eye-rolling.

I mean, people scrambled to explain that Elliot Rogers was secretly gay, rather than discussing the fact that he was just a misogynist.

I guess misogynist violence just isn’t a novelty :( :(

I’m still pissed off that this shooting, which the shooter admitted was an attack on women, did not get a ton of attention. People focused on the fact that it was in a movie theater more than the fact that the shooter was an admitted misogynist. I mean the host of a radio show even said that the shooter frequently…

Oh. And from the headline, I thought she meant she regretted making the movie for the movie’s sake. Which was pretty universally panned by the Jez commentariat, which I finally saw this weekend and actually found it pleasantly enjoyable, probably because of y’all’s comments.
