Damn, that is a fine cup of comment.

Jane Marie! You’re back!

Wait, labs attack people? what’s next, golden retrievers?

Ah that isn’t so bad, it won’t anyone flea.

I bet someone is going to pick up on this soon.

I also managed to not learn to swim despite growing up next to the sea and spending entire summers in the water.

Come on, you don’t have to put your tongue up cgist’s youknowwhat.

I know it’s totally a matter of taste. It’s just that the taste of the actual grape is horrendous for me, but could totally see someone digging it. I like a lot of things that others think is gross :)

But in the end he toed the line.

Ok, I was in a medium-sized city in the American Southwest for work. I was on a bus with a colleague on the way back to our hotel, somewhere nondistinct within the urban sprawl.

For what it’s worth, I don’t agree. First of all, art isn’t purely about a ‘message’ in the sense of political cartoonistry, and many artists would claim to not have one in that sense. A ‘message,’ to the extent that there is one, can be something formal or stylistic, or at the intersection of stle and subject matter.

Even so, don’t you think that old messages in new contexts can have relevance in new ways? Especially since the majority of people don’t necessarily have a good understanding of the history of art?

I never had that experience, but ok :) It’s almost like people are different and have different tastes; the mind boggles.

I know, I really wish that someone would mention Beyonce or Rihanna just once on Gawker Media, especially Jezebel!

Also amazing is how homogeneous the comments are. Yikes.

That’s way too complicated for the internet.

“Vegetarian: Confessions” is fine by me :)

I was not aware of that.

I have one of the funniest and nastiest public bathroom stories ever, but I’m not sure this is the place to share it.

I hear you. I’m also vegetarian and happy with that. I don’t even eat much dairy, as it grosses me out more and more as I get older, but I still like buttered toast.
