I agree that doing this to someone on their way to court is a dick move. I'm not sure how I feel about it in general. It's public shaming, right? I suppose there are times when that is appropriate (when a person has flouted society's rules, yet is not subject to legal action), but physically sabotaging people in…

Are they hoping to keep their ugliness a secret?

I saw that episode, too. The CEO was also shocked! when a manager treated his waitstaff like his own person harem, and personally "inspected" their appearance. His critiques were clearly his way of dominating these young, beautiful women. It was absolutely awful. They also showed a female manager at another…

Thank you. This, exactly.

I love Janeane Garafalo, I love Uma Thurman, and that movie was so so painful.

At a certain point, all athletes have to deal with the fact that they might have to compete against people with greater physical advantages. I think that since MMA draws on such a wide range of skills (as opposed to very specific Olympic events, for example), it is well suited to accommodate people with disparate…

Um...no man can beat Anderson Silva. He is the best pound-for-pound. I doubt even GSP could beat Silva if they were in the same weight class, which they're not. And Rhonda is a freaking Bantamweight, and no one here or anywhere is calling her the best MMA fighter in the sport. I'm not sure what your point is here.

Especially in March, when things occasionally thaw just enough to turn into black ice by nightfall. I've been walking a ton lately, ever since my car got completely encased in ice by a plow. Seriously, there is a Great Wall of China surrounding my car right now (the ice is about half the height of my car). Gotta…

I read a lot of scifi, and i feel the same way. Unfortunately, it comes with a lot of shame, because that must mean that my genetic legacy is weak and I deserve to be culled. It's bad for a person with low self esteem. I need to stop reading scifi.

No, it certainly didn't sound enjoyable. I just can't fathom what she could have been thinking? Oh, you like ferrets? HERE ARE SOME SKINNED DEAD ONES. Do you also like children? Why don't I show you my child porn collection? I don't know. I simply fail at empathy with some people.

This sounds like something I could do. I wore nothing but platforms for years, and mastered the art of falling in the most stationary of positions. One winter I became surprisingly adept at aiming for snow banks; very useful in avoiding injury.

I have friends who wear good shoes with leather soles (I'm an infidel, and get a cobbler to put a rubber sole on leather soled shoes, because I find them too slippy; I = klutz), and they have them regularly resoled. They take very good care of their shoes, which makes them last a surprisingly long time. My boyfriend…

I live in a fairly cold Canadian city, and there are so many women who wear stiletto heeled boots here, it's frightening. I think it's a part of "car culture"; people who only ever have to walk a few feet from the car to wherever they're going. These women wear flattering thin tailored wool coats, thin leather…

Wow. That's some pretty shocking insensitivity. Did you give her some dead-eyed-wtf-ness? What was your friend's reaction to this? Or perhaps this is a case where the wife is, um, differently abled?

Wow. It would be impossible to cram more asshole into that one statement. Thank you, random dude (formerly masquerading as actual human being). I needed a top-up on my despair for the human race.

Um...expert fit? Maybe I just can't tell when it comes to high waisted floods and leather harem ankle pants. Or baggy drop shoulder dresses, or sheer poofy skirts with boxy bolero jackets. And let's not mention the lederhosen, or that mesh overlay thingee, or the fur dress/coat thingee, or that horrendous blue crew…

Wow. They've either never worked retail, or had exactly zero empathy for those who do. "How can we make the greatest mess in this store for our own personal amusement?" Kudos for the assertive manager who gave them the boot.

I wasn't able to log in on my playbook until someone over in groupthink mentioned going to the kinja website and logging in there. I was then able to give gawker sites permission to access my twitter (which is how i log in). Just thought i'd mention it. The first time kinja launched i couldn't log in for WEEKS. :(

Thank you for explaining this. It seems completely obvious, but i guess it isn't. A company that "cares" isn't going to work hard to promote positive body image under one banner only to completely undermine that message in advertisements for another product line. You might still seek to diversify, but only into…

Absolutely! I could also see Jennifer Connelly, Eva Green, or Charlize Theron looking razor sharp in these. Age may not even be the issue; maybe maturity? Decisive intelligence, self assurance? It seems like the models are playing dress up; I don't get the sense that they know where they're going in these outfits.
