My adopted home is the mid-south (grew up in the north) and I was flabbergasted when I went to a meat-and-three restaurant in town that was a landmark establishment, especially among the wealthy. Elderly African-American gentlemen, hunched over in crisp white coats, carried your food on trays from the buffet line to…

go home kinja, you're drunk

You bet people are mad at Lil Wayne. I'm at a military hospital with my husband while he recovers from amputations sustained in war (hate war, we're okay, just sorta sucks), and this Lil Wayne business has blown up my facebook. Some people view it as a hate crime (I do not, for the record). Someone else pointed out…

I guess, back then, Hefner didn't yet know that he wasn't supposed to show pussy in his photos.

"It’s not about sex - they have porn, they have as much fucking porn as they could possibly ask for..." Rogue Feminist hits it on the head. This is about humiliation of a woman just going about her life. It seems that if someone could pin this on individuals and prove it, there would be a legal case under…

I know Lena Dunham is a polarizing figure, and I don't really have strong feelings about her one way or the other... but she does seem to have more of a critical lens than your average 'celebrity'. Imperfect, certainly, but I'm still impressed with her thoughtfulness here.

"But what about that dark place, dad?"
"That is the Gawker comments section, Simba. You must never go there."

I don't have any tattoos, but I enjoy seeing other people's. They frequently tell some kind of story, often a deeply personal one, and I admire the commitment and bravery that goes along with that.

I love all five of mine, four of which are located on my torso and cannot be seen by anyone but myself (unless I'm getting naked for someone, ha). I'll be getting more (also on my torso so I can cover them in public). I'm sure you know that not everyone who gets a tattoo/s is doing it to be perceived as rebellious by…

Or... maybe they're for the people who get them, and not for other people after all? Mine are for me, at least.

I feel better now.

Detail: Bon Jovi reduced prices by basically working for free, so the ticket cost was pretty much just covering expenses like local workers involved in the show (and presumably the venue rental, etc).

I refuse to fantasize about having sex with a woman on the street without first fantasizing about going out on several dates with her first and gettingn to know her personalty first. I also make sure to fantasize using bir control; don't want any fantasy babies.

I don't see the problem. Sex and sexual attraction are hard to process in a "perfect" way, and I don't think we have a right to hold people accountable for what goes on in the privacy of their heads. (What about all of the feminists who get sexually turned on by rape fantasies?) What we do have a right to hold…

Dude. You don't have problems because you want to have sex with women you find attractive. But maybe you have problems because you think you live in some sort of Andy Hinds Showwhere female strangers exist solely to tempt you into thinking impure thoughts.

Oh yay; we're analyzing Portia Degeneres' looks. Again. And so soon after she's talked openly about her anorexia and her anxiety at such intense public scrutiny about her looks, too.

Ohhh. I think I get it now. You can't get laid.
