@morninggloria:@angryblackgurl: Will someone please tell me why living on "Downlow" automatically means engaging in unsafe sex because being gay doesn't mean that. If anything, being in a gay environment there should be a heightened awareness of HIV. Why are these guys out barebacking?

@JudgeFudge: ooh, snap!

@: Well there's this point of view from a volleyball player: [sports.yahoo.com]

@lisas: No you're totally right. But for better worse dudes are getting ogled and judged more every day. Val Kilmer recently complained in an interview that no one understood his weight gain was for the movie Felon so "Iceman" was melting a little under the heat.

Okay, so the TV spot makes it clear these are LIVING feral people, so it's stupid, which is sometimes worse than offensive. My werewolf idea is better.

What. The. Fuck? I kept waiting for the payoff to be the person was a werewolf waking up in the woods in their tattered clothing.

@Mama Penguino: Now that's just mean!

@: I was wondering who'd be first.

@: Thankfully dad had me in the pool since I was kid.

@: Sadly, Cullen Jones would be the first to tell you part of his program is based on the fact African Americans are more likely to drown than others.

I understand how some may see this as betrayal, but I guarantee you this is just. business. I'm sure her agents and managers let her know in no uncertain terms if she didn't make a big public splash about getting back in shape (which she admitted she wasn't, though not fat by any means), there weren't going to be any…

@Archetype: Yeah, but if you're an Keira Knightley no amount weight gain is gonna make you into Jessica Simpson. And there are surgeries to make a man taller in a sad, sick Gattica way.

But which elephant cop is the play-by-his-own-rules rebel?

@ClobberellaBeatsYouUp: Hey, nothing wrong with honesty. But in an article on height in GQ many years ago the author noted that height is for men what breast size is for women. It's something you really have no control over, hits you in puberty, others use to measure your desirability and while you can fake it and…

@hortense: Yeah, what planet is he on. We don't elect short guys. Mitterand didn't trust short world leaders and coming from France, he knows of what he speaks.

@braak: Her butt should be a constant. Even when she had six pack abs in Heartbreakers she still had plenty of bottom. I was shocked how hourglassy her figure was because I'd ignored her existence up until that point.

You have to cut her some slack. She's not going to get work if she's "perceived" to be out of shape. As you say, this was how she became famous, with the illusion of the hot body combined with being a child-woman (Winona Ryder, Alicia Silverstone, Britney Spears, Natalie Portman, etc). Maintaining this illusion is.…

@little stripes: Yes, I was raised by wolves. And I've mentioned Dina in every post, just not by name. Sorry if the words "mother" "mom" and "parent" failed to convey that to you.

@: Your name doesn't pop up Patani. So the system is still wonky.

@little stripes: It's not her "job" to be the breadwinner either, but that's how it turned out. I believe it was the original Rockefeller who said, "I see very little use for money except it allows one to control one's relatives."
