To your point, I had never heard of PAPER magazine before this. I feel she's putting them on the map, rather than the reverse.

To be fair, I assume that when Kim posed for the magazine she hoped it would sell copies. I can't imagine she wanted it to languish in obscurity.

So she's using her body to hold a champagne glass, while she pops the bottle and sprays it back into the glass. It's a cool trick that makes for a best shot. I also like how you discounted her expression as just "smiling for the camera", cause anything pointing to her not being an passive object is just unacceptable…

I'm glad I know Lorde's opinion on the topic, because how often do you get to hear an empowering thing about the female body from an 18-yo, who is also pretty famous, and also identifies herself as a feminist? She's the Holy freaking Grail.

She doesn't appear as an object in those pictures though. Look at her face, not her body. She's joyful, standing center of the photo, laughing. She's not portrayed at all as passive- she's expressing herself through her pose and her face.

So for a woman to not be an objectified sex object, she can only express her sexuality in ways you approve of?

I'm kinda on the edge with this one. Is she being objectified or is she just expressing her sexuality? Because I don't see Kim as particularly opressed. She manages her image/sexuality quite well, no regrets, no false morality. Not my cup of tea, but it doesn't anger me. Plus Lorde just rules.

I found the enjoyment comes from:

My biggest issue is slaughtering in front of a crowd. It adds extra stress on the animal and the adrenaline makes the meat taste worse.

i am from hungary, and here we have a thing called pig slaughtering - in winters, people living in the countryside that raise pigs, kill and process these pigs with the help of their neighbors, and turn this event into some kind of party or celebration.

Do hunters legitimately enjoy killing animals? I mean, how is the idea of that enjoyment not horrible?

Hahahahaha, re: Samantha, yes, that moment when a customer is so dumb that you start to wonder, "Shit, wait, am I the dumb one?"

So, this is favorite feature of the week (esp since, no offense, Midweek Madness has slid downhill) but it terrifies me since I just started my first waitress job in 20 years. When I told my bro, he said while laughing, "Uh... aren't you a little... surly for that?" I don't know how to deal with this level of stupid!!

I have had multiple people order the Thai chicken broth, only to send it back because it's wet.

I used to work at a natural foods co-op...so we got plenty of crazy granola customers. As a front-end manager, much of this craziness was encountered by me...here I am...when a customer comes up to the counter and says...

"You should really put a warning sign on your breads."
"Huh?"
"Your bread needs a warning size."
"I'm…

"Who ate the gratuity?" is going to be something I use next time I have to split a bill between eleventyzillion friends.

Why Taco Bell doesn't sell barracuda kessadealias is beyond me...

"Who ate the gratuity?" is going to be KILLING ME for the rest of the day. That is pure gold.

I giggled at the first one. Are we sure its not just a dad joke?

I once had a customer order the filet mignon with red wine demi-glace, but only after requesting that we substitute the red wine for a chocolate martini.
