I'm pretty sure there's a Goat Boy out in the world too

Bravo

Hey man, more power to 'em. They entertained me in high school and didn't die of a heroin overdose. I can't snark on these guys.

They have years and years and years of marketing data to back up what you angrily cally "misogyny." So settle down.

I think they came out on top in this "PR backlash," frankly, since the outcry is "make something we want to buy!" and they're saying "okay, sure!"

Again, you're confusing "sexist" with "financially realistic." Was it dumb to not include Rey in the Monopoly set? Yes, because who gives a shit about Monopoly? But all the other stuff I assume is a calculated risk because, well, girls don't traditionally want Star Wars shit. Like boys traditionally don't want Frozen

But you're confusing "sexism" with "not taking a risk financially." Granted, adding a token to Monopoly, who gives a shit? But wondering why Rey isn't ALL OVER THE PLACE in action figure form…there's certainly some market research (that I'm not going to look for) that backs up the decision on EVERY figure's

I wonder what the real numbers are, though. Certainly the thought of mass producing a female character or not in what is traditionally a "for boys" form factor is purely financial, right? Disney would LOVE to have girls along for the ride, but they want the GIRLS to want it, not just their SJW parents.

Look, it doesn't cost a retailer like Target really anything to take down the "boys' toys" and "girls' toys" signs to appease Twitter, but it's an altogether different thing to produce and market what might essentially be a gender-neutral toy. Until the market changes (meaning generations of gender roles ingrained by

Just wait until the outrage when people find out the one black character can just be thrown in jail at the draw of a card.

As a guy who loves his special edition Monopoly games, this one was garbage from the get-go. Nevermind the fact that it's a generic "Star Wars" edition and not specific to "The Force Awakens." But if someone feels they earned a moral victory by demanding Hasbro sell them a girl piece in a board game about 1920s

I mean know matter how many progressives tweet out pictures of their daughters frowning about there being no Rey in every single TFA item released, the numbers are still what backs all this up anyway, right? Certainly Disney isn't leaving money on the table because they want to keep a woman in their place, they just

Yeah that's all I'm hearing about it, really.

Look I loved Community seasons 1 thru 2 and 2/3rds like a good soldier, but then it got maudlin and then sort of terrible then okay then they had that GI Joe episode I liked then it disappeared to Yahoo Screen when it should have just gone away for good instead of being propped up by an ever-dwindling cabal of vocal

I'd trade my Hepatitis A for his Hepatitis C, that's for damn sure

All I ask is no more ABQ backroads standing in for Chicago or Philly, please.

The one thing that always blows me away about I Love Lucy is that William Frawley was born in 1887 and became a TV star. I just can't reconcile those 2 things in my brain sometimes.

Looks like a certain publication had some Getty/ASCAP credits to burn before the end of the year.

Guys guys guys! Greg Grunberg has an extended cameo in this!

I'm inclined to agree. What was the point of mocap in his case?
