Granted it’s the least important thing in this article, but Conan is most certainly not the “interviewee” on that clip, he’s the interviewer.

Also, the chance that this wasn’t just a joke on Conan’s part isn’t zero, but it’s pretty close. That’s very much in keeping with his delivery and general humor.

“joking about using drugs to date rape women” isn’t breaking any laws but I’d like to hear the “joke”. Seems a bit suspicious.

Shame. I always thought Ashton Kutcher was one of those ‘secretly really good guys’, in that he went to medical school to cure his brother’s undiagnosed illness, and then became a face of combating human trafficking.

There *will* be a Family Guy about this.

Somehow the article doesn’t mention Kutcher calling the accusers “crazy fucking bitches” when they caused Masterson to be fired from The Ranch (which you may also recall got a Netflix exec fired when he told one of the accusers to her face that the company thought she was lying).

I think you might be confusing him with Toby Maguire

Yeah it sure is a surprise how anti-rape these  comments are!

This article gets so close towards reaching some level of self-awareness in acknowledging this site’s role as a cog in the outrage machine, then completely cops out at the end with a wishy-washy conclusion of “public shaming: can’t live with it, can’t live without it!”

Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp also wrote letters for Danny Masterson. 

Yeah he was skeevy with his dating habits but wasn’t breaking any laws. And you’re spot-on that you didn’t see him trying to get Masterson off easier.

Topher Grace didn’t get along with the cast. He mostly went home after work. Rest of the cast were party animals. And in the 00's those were messy scenes to be around.

Well, you know, it was the ‘70s.

Yeah, all of this stuff was completely commonplace back in the old days. The 18 countdown clock on celebs was a very frequent “joke” in the media, among other things.

It was indeed a gross, weird time. I remember the count downs, and the expectation that eventually, any and all young starlets would have to “show off the goods” via some scantily clad magazine cover.

TBF the ticking clocks, and the associated websites, were a meme to most. I’m pretty sure the co-worker who showed me the Mylie one was the same guy that introduced me to “What What”.

For those too young to remember, the 2000's were grosser than you can imagine.

I’m sure it existed in some form beforehand, but after Britney Spears and other ingenue pop stars got big, there was more or less a “ticking clock” for when they finally turned eighteen. I think the Olsen Twins were the most prominent one,…

Just what the fuck was going on on this show.

Wilmer may catch a stray here and there by bitter exes, but he didn’t sign off on leniency for Masterson. Eye on the fucking ball.

For Kutcher and Kunis, too, their actions this week are enough to condemn on their own, even if their actions don’t reach the severity of which Masterson has been convicted.

Discourse? What discourse? Any thought or question deemed unacceptable by, say, anyone, is sure to be loudly decried and the commenter piled-upon.
