But...it's commemorating the fall of the Wall, not its construction. It was a time of celebration.

Oh, yeah, I know. I just wanted to remind them that it's just (or it's supposed to be) a beverage flavored with a plant part, of which there are many other examples.

Then don't buy it! And unless you live in NYC, you'll never see it anyway.

I don't know where you live, but I live in shit hole Indiana, so I wouldn't mind a bit of "douchiness." And no French bakeries here.

I've never been there, but it is my sister's favorite bakery. Anyway, looking at the website, it has a tarte tatin. Is that common in the US? No. I'll bet most people have never heard of it. But most anyone who has been to France knows that it is a common dessert. But he is doing his own special spin on the regular…

Dude. This article is about slender, blonde, white, stunner Katy Perry surrounding herself with what appears to be caricatures of black women with extremely exaggerated features. Just look at the picture. The power differential seems pretty obvious to me, even if Katy may not have envisioned it that way. In America,…

Look, dude. Sorry, but as an Asian-American I am as dismissive of the Japanese perspective on this American matter as your white dude perspective.

Is Avril Japanese?

Yeah. I'm saying that Africans in Africa would not understand what is going on with blackface in the US. Just like Japanese in Japan would not understand what might be going on with that Avril video.

Oh, I just now saw your other comment. Looks like we are in agreement.

I haven't seen the video, so I wasn't commenting about it specifically.
