Exactly it’s “obscene” and “obscene” isn’t assault. Janet Jackson’s nipple on the Super Bowl was considered “obscene”. But Janet Jackson didn’t sexually assault a few thousand mid western house wives by having her nipple exposed even if you accept the conspiracy that she wanted them to see it and did it to titillate…

Ok you I’m happy to troll now for taking an intellectual exercise and making it personal. You are the one who needs to get help if you can’t even discuss the philosophical merits of a complex issue without losing your shit.

Let’s take the delightful little metaphor that’s being used to explain consent today. I…

Showing up on someone’s doorstep would be assault because you’re entering their personal physical space. Arguably Twitter DMs are more akin to leaving it on the street with their name on it. It’s a public sphere with a private recipient. You can’t ignore someone on your doorstep because they might momentarily breach…

The very definition of marketing is to reach people who didn’t know you existed. If the instagram model has a half decent agent, people will see photos of her who never knew she existed, let alone deliberately tried to see photos of her. It’s no different than the suburban mom complaining about being exposed to racy…

Consent. People don’t consent to view 99% of the things we see. And yet she is no more harmed by being “forced” to see a penis as I am “forced” to see a penis when I go into a shower at the gym. It seems peculiar that you’re fine with public exposure but not with less-public exposure. Seems like an arbitrary…

“You’re saying that if a woman is on the beach in a string bikini, and a fully clothed dude pulls out just his dick, that the dude is less offensive? The difference is not the % of body that’s uncovered. The difference is CONSENT. This model is not sending unsolicited 95% naked pics to anyone who hasn’t willingly…

I’m only maybe 10% trolling, but fuck, are you so empty of intellectual curiosity that it doesn’t strike you as at all an interesting ethical quandary? On the surface this seems like an obviously case of unethical behavior. But once you stop and really think about a consistent philosophical justification for that…

Same thing could be asked of the model. I’ve never had the desire to strip down to a hand towel and post a photo to Instagram.

I find it kind of hilarious that nobody finds it ‘peculiar’ that there are two people in this exchange involved. One regularly publicly posts photos of themselves 95% naked, as naked as…

As far as “Speaking Roles” are concerned the only group that’s really getting the short end of the stick is latinos. (Although Latino directors are doing phenomenally well the last decade.) It’s tough though for me to see that as implicit bias as the root cause for latinos since A) they’re doing phenomenally well in…

Did you see Oblivion? Cast a black actor in that. Does it make any difference? No. So why not?

WOW... go look at the award winners. You have to be mentally handicapped, mentally ill, a murderer, a drug addict or a major historical figure to win an Oscar. It’s so cliché and well understood that even comedies like Tropic Thunder use it as a punchline.

Warning ‘R’ word trigger ydadda yadda...

People being people doesn’t win anybody an acting award though.

‘Oscar Bait’ falls into one of two categories:
1) Mental/Physical/Developmental problems. A
2) Historical Biopics.

It’s pretty hard to find an African American story from our nation’s history that isn’t entangled intimately with slavery. So that leaves physical/mental/developmental disabilities. Welcome to the Oscars!

Has any comedian in the history of comedy ever come up with self-empowering jokes?

“According to the data given by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, worldwide, 78.7% of homicide victims are male, and in 193 of the 202 listed countries or regions, males were more likely to be killed than females.”

In other words this is one of those infrequent instances where women get to experience how…

It’s not about growing up, it’s about consistency. The only way it could know would be to read your mind. Since it can’t read your mind it consistently does the same thing every time. God can you imagine how annoying excel would be if it did something slightly different every time depending on what it *thought* you…

I would take that and... am I the only one who wants a Shadows of the Empire in HD?

Here’s my big sticking point: the big thing nowadays seems to be “multitasking”.

“Secret” trick: Full fare Economy Tickets. That’s why they exist.
“We need a full fare economy ticket because we might need to reschedule if additional meetings come up.”
“Ok.”
“Hello Mr. Bliq, that full fare economy ticket you are purchasing gives you an instant automatic upgrade to business class.”
“Gee, what a…
