While I think, wholeheartedly, that Russia's stance is wrong in regards to LGBTQ people, I can't help but think that most of the criticism towards Russia is just left over Cold War feelings.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but I really thought the close up black and white shot took Mindy from her commonly perceived "cuteness" (ugh I hate that term for not-runway-model women) and catapulted her into smoking hotness. WHERE SHE BELONGS.

Somebody ask him how big his dick was when he was born, and how big it is now. When he rebukes, tell him THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.

As far as I'm concerned Mark is the only Bachelor* whose hose I would take.

Juan Pablo keeps sending mixed signals, so these poor women have no clue what's happening. One minute he'll say "I have a daughter, she'll see this, I don't want to make out with you" and the next minute he'll be making out with another woman. Meanwhile, he'll keep the other women dangling, then kiss them when they're…

This is so (possibly) spot on. I was that friend a long time ago, and pushed people away because they would be better off without me, or if they saw how I was really feeling they'd be judgey or annoyed, and I imagined those conversations in my head so often that I felt as if they actually WERE judgey and annoyed. The…

That silence thing is legit, though, if a person is being a douchenozzle. I dated this dude for three months a while ago, and it ended when he randomly dumped me via text message, and then dragged shit out for another few weeks (you know, to ensure that I was thoroughly hurt, I guess). I ran into him at a bar a…

If we actually believed that a magazine known for fawning over celebrities — especially beautiful women — would do a takedown of a Hollywood darling like Gwyneth Paltrow...

"Wait wait wait. Is that really how you run your editorial meetings? "I'd like to read something about Gwyneth Paltrow"? First of all: That's not a story idea. That's not a pitch. There's no narrative there."

Oh please. That's exactly how Jezebel/Gawker and tabloids run their editorial meetings. You write about vapid…

So basically you bought in to a fake story that a woman you have decided to hate did something bad and now you are mad that this fake story is not true. Jezebel is on a role lately. . .

I'm just saying.. my husband was trying to get Jez to cover this when the women riders were waging their campaign to be included in Le Tour and he got crickets.

Katherine Bertine should also get a lot of credit for her efforts promoting women's' cycling. Just this past week, her (crowdfunded!) film Half the Road, about the discrimination faced by female cyclists, premiered: www.halftheroad.com

and this (among many other reasons) is why i sort of dislike the olympics. the pagentry and the games themselves are wonderful, but the problem i have is how much the Olympic sucks the hell out of the host city. They go bankrupt creating state of the art stuff and for what? Half of it is torn down later, other…

Overheard at the party I attended: "Does EVERYTHING have to be about sexism with girls and women? The only thing this ad is teaching girls is that they aren't okay the way they are". A woman said this, while holding her 4 year old daughter.

It's hard to imagine that, for something this important, a guy could just skate by with almost zero scrutiny. That a guy with none of the requisite qualifications could just slip through the screening process, past dozen of checks, and be allowed to wander - befuddledly - into the inner sanctum of power, interacting…

Jesus, if you are going to academic conferences in your 80s, who cares about looks! that's awesome. There, that sticks it to all those people (read: men) who ignore women over 25.

Let's all go read the fanfiction of our chosen pairings and let it all rest. But let's be honest JK, your biggest mistake was writing that horrid epilogue.

So. I'm about to propose the equivalent of rounding up a bunch of baby seals, clubbing them, and then rendering their fat stores for delicious gravy to be placed on a crab cake but:

I'm guessing it has something to do with the target audience. He was on shows that kids my age (20) were watching as we grew up, so in trying to rope in that demographic they chose an actor from a Disney show with a large audience.
