Hypocritical bullshit. Maher has been one of the biggest proponents of the “you have the freedom to speak not the freedom to speak without consequences” school. Now having legitimate consequences is bullying and taboo?

I don’t know...that video clip is a bit sketchy for identifying exactly as Allison Mack. And honestly all I keep hearing when this keeps popping up is the same sources like TMZ circle-jerking each other’s coverage like that substantiates anything. This just seems like a further repeat of the same self-validating…

My senior year, whoever was the editor deliberately screwed up my entry, giving me the wrong name and leaving me out entirely of the index of four-year accomplishments. At the time my parents were really upset, and they were compensated for the yearbook cost and even given an official ‘correction sticker’ to plaster…

Another person whose ‘celebrity’ I’ve never really comprehended. He did a decent enough workman’s acting job in movies like Kiss of Death (which now you can all even more vicariously enjoy as Nicolas Cage beats him to death in a dirty back garage office while blasting hot rap on a ghetto blaster). Otherwise all he…

I honestly have never understood her being seen as so humorous or delightful. Ever since she first came onto the comedy scene back in the early 90's she always came off as abrasive, unoriginal, basically not as sharp or clever as Joan Rivers and nowhere near as edgy or observant as Sarah Silverman or Janeane Garofalo.…

I have to agree with the sentiment that one of the best things looking back at playing SM2 really was that in the very first second you started playing all the former rules and conventions you gained from the first are thrown out the window. Falling deliberately into unknown gaps, lifting and chucking instead of…

Seriously if they’re just gonna lie or avoid every question, why does the press even still go? I mean, if ostensibly the press is there to get the White House’s reaction, but the reaction will be utterly pointless/useless/obscuring of the facts, then why keep going to report it? Are you that scared your network will…

Fair point. But if you’re like many folks and don’t really give two tin shits in an Easter basket about basketball, you haven’t heard much about them. Jesuit or not, all colleges nowadays look to have some press or attention to get a wider net of applicants (and thus a wider net of tuitions/grants/loan money).

I grant…

This is getting to be a truly tiresome commonality, particularly in comedy.

1. Comedian gets great notice, acclaim and even success doing their style of material and perspective on it.
2. Some venue, especially college/university venue, takes notice of said comedian. They book this comedian.
3. Said comedian proceeds to…

TL:DR

So....they’re basically the Lucky Dragons that William Gibson has in his novels like “Virtual Light” and “Idoru”?

Gotta agree that you have to go cold hard on this.

Years back, my wife and I had her girlfriend—all excited for the big adventure and all—leave Ohio and move into a bigger house with us in Las Vegas. We got the bigger place explicitly because she was going to be sharing it with us.

She never got a job. She stayed with…

Utterly ridiculous. And like most idiot legislation in the US regarding the internet, a total failure of anyone to comprehend even the most basic fact about the net: it’s GLOBAL. It’s WORLDWIDE. There may be other countries that have stricter (China) or freer (pretty much any other first-world developed nation) net…

We all know the real Transformers song we all wanna hear, c’mon...

YOU GOT THE TOOOOOUCH...YOU GOT THE POW-AAAH!

Yeah my wife and I watched it—my wife is a former sex worker who was both a dancer as well as feature performer/adult performer for over ten years—and one thing that REALLY bugged us was SNL’s safe take by not naming real names. Everybody in it was fictitious, which to me is another way of granting safe harbor to the…

I hadn’t even heard about Oldman being part of the whole MeToo issue coverage. Guess that speaks to how some folks are still getting downplayed in the media coverage over these things. I would’ve expected a whole “Abusers and Accused” spreadsheet to cover the Oscars and other related awards nominees this season. Hell…

So it’s not appropriate for “youth, former smokers and never smokers.”

What the hell does that even mean? You’re not supposed to use it if you’re young, never smoked OR smoked before?!? That makes literally no sense.

Who is it intended for then? “Probable” smokers? Are we marketing this to your quantum doppelgangers who…

About six months or less from now:

Walmart spokesperson: “Well y’know, raising the age limit means we lost a whole bunch of sales in the 18-21 Batshit Lunatics demographic, so to make up for that kind of loss we just can’t see raising our employees’ wage rates or offer any benefits this year again...man, this economy…

He’s right: he has not been sued by a shooting survivor or their family.

Just humiliatingly sued by Chobani Yogurt.
And Google so he’s not allowed on any of their properties.
And his own wife because she didn’t think his kids should be around a red-faced raving herpes blister spouting tin foil shit.

Alex Jones wants to…

Most of this boils down to: I vomited in my mouth a bit.
