I once viewed a house built in the late 70s and they actually extolled the “original appliances” like a nearly-40-year-old dishwasher was a plus.

Even the writer who hates it admits it’s catchy.

I heard Uptown Funk for literally the first time this morning and all of a sudden get why it was a big deal. To this day I’ve only ever heard the Glee version of Bieber’s “Baby Baby” (or whatever it’s called.)

And not being funny.

I was telling someone about this just the other day. Pretty sure I used the phrase “because Australia” at least twice.

At least their stuffing is good.

Yeah, I’d forgotten about that until someone mentioned it in another comment. I was reading just last week about how much money US movie studios make in the foreign market.

Umm...I think you’re talking to someone else.

Not to ignore her acting, but she is so fucking beautiful. And tall.

A comment downstream said the studio feared the movie would get banned in China if it had a Tibetan character or Tibetan actor. Given how much studios rely on foreign box office money, everything makes more sense now. (But is still shitty.)

They’re worried about their movie getting banned in China and reducing their profit. They don’t give a shit about relations.

I’m so out of touch, I thought it was a Doctor Strangelove remake.

“i cant even wrap my head around the china/tibet angles, i’m not nearly smart enough to untangle it all.”

Cho, in turn, spilled tea on an argument... .

“Ooh, I wonder what the historic points of interest in my town are! Let’s see ... the high school, the post office, and the Presbyterian Church. Oh.”

Thanks for reminding me I need to pay my insurance bill.

This is Westboro-level human garbage behavior. I wonder if he has any ties to the group? Wouldn’t surprise me.

How does a grieving parent not track this fuck down and tear his ball hairs out? I want to beat him senseless and that’s not even my child.

I clicked through to the Chronicle of Higher Education article because I wanted to know what this POS “teaches.” Communications. We are so fucking screwed as a society.

This guy taught communications, too. Our society is so screwed.
