The single best thing about this shit-show is the commenters. You guys give me faith in humanity. <3

What is not a good thing is when the magazine decides to take that woman and tweak her appearance enough such that she's "acceptable" for the cover.

For real!! Everyone knows it. They know it. Stop trying to make what you did happen, Jezebel. It ain't happening.

Respectfully, if you guys have something specifically against Vogue then it would be great if you would just write up a big retrospective piece. The more you make this about Lena Dunham and effectively force her to respond to this—which no matter how you slice it is a direct discussion about her body that invites a

Jez,

Holy fucking YAWN.

Admit it, Jez. You were wrong.

Actually, her twitter response was much better: "Way cooler when people do things out of pure blind spite than out of faux altruism". Faux altruism describes this whole shitshow perfectly.

Jezebel has gotten mean and petty lately, and so have a lot of Jezebel commenters who fancy themselves above the the fray. The thread on how much better some commenters' writing is than the writer's of Jez, was just so...misguided and petty.

tl;dr version:

"I'm not a bigot! I'm not bi-anything! That's fucking disgusting!"

This is ridiculous. He's saying if you were in a black neighborhood, Lasonia could be a girl's name, but in an italian restaurant you would be referring to the food and thus it would be Lasagna. The "black people are stupid" is something you've read into it yourself and is not the point of the joke. He removed the

Thank you for this. Seriously. This is just ridiculous. It was clearly said lightheartedly and in jest. To remotely accuse Steve Martin, who's co-starred with every ethnicity imaginable, of being a racist is just ridiculous. He deleted the comment for one reason only: people like the Jezzie-crazies would attack

I love this. I'm going to take this one step further and bring a little mirror around with me to flash at dudes when they stare at me. And say something like "LOOK AT YOURSELF. LOOK HOW FUCKING CREEPY YOU LOOK. ARE YOU OK WITH THAT?" I wonder if it would work.

I once had a man come up to me while I was pumping gas and tell me I had a nice arse and asked me if I wanted to go get a drink with him. Now, I was pumping gas. I wasn't in a social setting. I wasn't flirting. I wasn't talking or looking at anybody. I was standing there. Pumping gas. I told him no, he called me a

"But...but...I would be *FLATTERED* if women ogled my peen in public, even once!!!!"

Says guys who have no idea that their baseless fantasy of all young, fit, attractive ladies giving them sexy winks at the bar occasionally while flirting is not at all comparable to the reality of leering/catcalls/sexual aggression

We've got a gray asking if women like it when men leer at them on the street, despite what the fucking article says.

countdown to the "OMG NOW WE CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU" post.
