I am an American living in Europe, and I have frequented many hotels in Munich during Oktoberfest for business. Everytime I see an American tourist wearing cheap knock off lederhose on their way to Oktoberfest I hang my head in shame. The real lederhosen and dirndl are expensive but they don’t make you look like you

Don’t cheap out. Bad lederhosen look terrible, and feel extremely uncomfortable. A decent pair are actually quite comfy, though. If you want the look without sinking half a grand into a costume that consumes a whole corner of your closet, just get the hat.

My German mother made me wear lederhosen when I was a kid, and they are extremely uncomfortable. Remember that “leder” means “leather”. Your cultural appropriation will be immediately punished by nightmarish chafing, so I guess it all balances out. Go for it.

Okay so I’m not the only one wondering why Splinter is watching and reporting on a talk show for homemakers and calling it news? 

I think you should buy lederhosen and wear them every weekend.

Many people have and will continue to die because of capitalist plutocracies, yes.

Counterpoint: I only remember that this trash fire of a show exists because of splinter, and I am utterly annoyed every single time I’m reminded. Self-important white woman is self-important white woman. Like I don’t have enough of that irl. 

Fair enough. I’ll give you the rabbit hole of:

Agreed up until your last point.  The View is reality TV for people who think they're too classy for the Real Housewives.

The View is Pro Wrastlin’ for people who don’t want to watch the WWE.

That’s making a lot of very generous assumptions about McCain (that she can follow directions, that she’s self-aware enough to build a character, that she isn’t ridiculously thin-skinned and petty) that I’m not sure is warranted.

$20 says this show is entirely scripted, and the drama they’re creating is to hype up ratings.

You are all doing true yeoman’s work summarizing this shitshow so we don’t have to watch.

What’s sad is the GOP and Fox News are really trying to make him an “AOC” of the right.

(Is leaving for Oktoberfest in Munich tomorrow.) Interestingly, it’s not something that’s cultural appropriation, which was confusing to me at first as well. The Germans openly invite and encourage everyone to dress up.  My recommendation for purchasing location is Amazon, although if you want to pay way more there

Those silly communist veterans just don’t get it. Soldiers fight to make sure that corpulent, syphilitic septuagenarian WASPs can pad their already-stuffed bank accounts even further.

Awful and tasteless. Have a star.

What’s with the eye-patch in the top photo? It looks like it’s just scribbled over a photo in MS Paint.

“As Crenshaw notes, the interaction was clearly set up to be on video.”

Bet he didn’t see that coming.
