Only Walmart would refuse to hire John Wayne Bobbitt because he did some porn. :P Any ethical or sane company would refuse to hire him because he's a wife-abusing piece of excrement.

I've never heard bad things about Jenna Jameson before now, so I'm sad that she's ended up this way. I don't think it's ever a good thing when someone is coerced into doing something they don't want to do because of socioeconomic circumstance, and especially in an industry that can be exploitative. And…

McDonalds. I.e. the company that puts profits over good food, good treatment of employees or good customer service. A.k.a. the company that rakes in oodles of cash because making money is their real business; fast food is their means to a specific end.

And in the end, the capitalist system, without sufficients checks…

Incorrect.

You mean like Traci Lords? She's pretty much reviled in the industry as well from what I can tell, for similar reasons.

Right, because a medical doctor who is licensed to practice medicine is deemed unqualified because they used to take their clothes off for money?

I somehow doubt you'd be saying that if Jenna Jameson was a medical doctor and standing right behind you when you suddenly collapsed from some medical condition with no other…

I often fling stuff at Sarah Silverman. Even though I often like her extreme, absurdist satire, it's not like anyone is beyond criticism, because we're all human and we make mistakes. She tried satire that failed spectacularly once too, and people took her to task for it. In fact, I think I might have heard about…

I mean, it's possible she doesn't know the extent of the allegations, because I certainly didn't. I don't really know exactly what celebrities do and do not know about other celebs, though: I don't think they necessarily have an insider's scoop just because they are celebs, or work in the same industry. Certainly in…

If by 'strong', you mean 'hot but ignorant/incredibly scary', then yes.

"My dear Holmes!" I ejaculated.

I didn't know about this but that's terrible. I usually like Lady Gaga, as much for her personal politics as her music (although really, I don't know too many of her songs), but that was definitely wrong of her. I guess she doesn't really know what happened.

Good point. I totally missed this joke about someone dying though.

Not too much of a distinction in the end, though, really.

Either that, or the truth accidentally came out. :P

Yeah, not good to be a racist Mod. On the other hand, I suppose there is a reason why 'Northern Soul' is referred to as 'blue-eyed soul'. :P

Model minority myth, for the most part.

Oh no! Oh well, I can't be that surprised if she wore the Native headdress in the video for 'Ride', which I was disappointed with her about and said so, on YouTube and elsewhere.

She was born into a lot of privilege, and while I enjoy her music and her cinematic view of music, and even the personas she takes on, in…

Keyboarding class in high school, plus many years playing text-only MUDs, often using a mechanical keyboard (IBM Model M). A year or two of doing data entry, and practicing with Mavis Beacon helped. I mostly keep up my typing speed via discussions on Kinja. ;)

Typing on a membrane keyboard right now, which isn't bad…

Yeah, loving the K95. :)
