I heard a great conspiracy theory once that New Coke was a ploy to hide Coke changing from sugar to corn syrup. Once they went back to original Coke, people wouldn't notice the sugar change.

Taco Bell’s late lamented Caramel Apple Empanada was also fried goodness.

Yikes, that’s young. By sheer coincidence, my best friend’s husband also passed away yesterday, and he was around the same age. (My mother-in-law also passed away last year on Halloween. Halloween is starting to live up to its spooky reputation.)

And the winner is Kerry Washington.

Speaking as an employee of the entertainment industry....thanks for letting me know it isn’t a ‘real job’.

Why are they apologizing? Because they’re fully functioning adults, you fucking moron. They’re in charge of a company with real employees. If they don’t say anything then everyone, including Rich, would be all over that shit.

Heartily agree.

What a dumb fucking take. So, they’re dumbasses for addressing and explaining the situation and apologizing to their fans and staff? That’s a stupid and melodramatic thing to do? Because that’s literally all that they did in this brief video that this amazingly obnoxious article is ridiculing and attacking them for.…

They mentioned multiple times in the video that Fulmer primarily fucked over his own family. If they want to keep their jobs and the jobs of their employees’ they needed to address the issue.

Agreed. Fulmer did a bad thing and potentially fucked over their entire team, ruined multiple friendships, and made a fool of his wife who was also their good friend. The video’s tone and message were perfect. Rich is just being a piece of shit because he wants to seem edgy. 

Fuck you Rich. The remaining TryGuys did everything pretty much perfectly, right down to hiring a human resources consultant immediately out of the gate, and not sweeping anything under the rug.  They also did their best to protect Alex from the shitty misogyny that will inevitably levelled at her.

How do you turn a bench around so you can sit on it backwards?

No, you shouldn’t yell at people like that, period. If she yelled back then it’s in defense and responding in kind. Nice try, tho. Your fellow incels at the Proud Boys shindig may buy that, but we don’t.

This is a horrible story. One sort of kind of silver lining - a GoFundMe established to pay her restitution and tuition raised almost $200K in one day:

Dick Wolf is the worst!

Where is the pan-galactic gargleblaster, a drink that is to the brainpan what a 300mph crash into a concrete slab is to the brainpan.

“tHey’Re LeGAL ADDULTS!”

“I don’t think it’s the texture,” said Padala. “It’s something in the flavor.”
