I agree, it is annoying.

thank you for saying what i needed to say, but didnt have an account so i made one just to agree with you because, DAMN. these mini-articles are so aggravating to navigate. I cant get my 2 minutes back, but maybe i can complain and congratulate at the same time. thanx

I, too, find it irritating and I really don’t understand why this format was chosen.

I don’t think it’s the right place but I truly hate with passion this kind of “mini article”, we can’t click on them when on the home page of the blog and it’s a pain in the ass to navigate. I want to open a new tab and see the video from there then look at the comments. I both can’t open a new tab nor see the…

My comment appears to be a little unclear. Sir John was trying to convince people that a positive attitude is enough to fend off arctic weather and his wife is trying to convince different people that it is not.

Wasn’t that Francis’s opinion? Sir John was always “Mr. Optimistic”.

What I find remarkable about this production is that even though we know how this story ultimately turns out - I’ve read the book, but it’s all a matter of history since this is fictionalized account of a real expedition - the narrative manages to be thrilling and tense just the same. Maybe it’s because of its…

Yet another mark against him, since his wife is obviously correct.

I WANT to love historical fiction but so often movies and shows get it wrong, they aren’t doing “honest” historical fiction. If that may sound a bit contradictory, let me use an example. Consider racism as it existed in the Jim Crow south. Very few works of historical fiction get this right. They usually cast it as…

I was thinking about this last night. Most summer Olympic sports are safe and do-able for the average person. We all have experienced running, maybe archery, swimming, even volleyball. Not likely to die doing that (I’d imagine the most dangerous summer sport is biking, no?).

These shitting in the wrong place stories...man, I’ve been getting stupid drunk my entire life and I have never shit on a nightstand. Am I doing something wrong?

You’re not wrong, but also Stern is like a secret agent sometimes. Stern can get dirtbags to tell him things they would NEVER talk about with anyone else. Hence the audio above. Thank you, Howard Stern.

Howard, for all his flaws, has always called out assholes like Tarantino for their horrible comments about minors.

I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

This is indeed some strange shit, when Stern is taking the unequivocal moral high ground.

Yeah, just listen further in the interview to be even more thoroughly disgusted. Tarantino’s defense, when asked why he sides with Polanski’s version of events instead of the court testimony of the victim, and why it is not rape, though it is against the law:

Also, the drugged 13 yr old girl still said no to Polanski, more than once. It wasn’t statutory rape. It was, in the immortal words of Whoopie Goldberg, “rape rape.”

Actually, it was both statuatory rape, and forcible rape, He drugged her, He held her down, he anally raped her twice, while she repeatedly said no and begged him to stop: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/roman-polanski-grand-jury-transcript?page=27

And to think this happened on Howard Stern’s show of all places! A show where women are mocked daily.

He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around.…
