I was in a bar in Sydney when a group of men and women sat down to my left (it was a all around bar so everyone faced inwards). One of them overheard me order a drink and I get the standard “you’re an American!” opener. Then they moved towards me and kept talking about how funny/cute my accent was to the point that I…

Yeah I found the same thing when I was in Europe in college after being just OK in the dating scene in America. Over there, suddenly I was exotic. It sure as hell wasn’t racism, because I’m white.

Spending time in London I only had to open my mouth, and their eyes would widen at the accent. Then I said I was from Los Angeles, the reactions were priceless.

I hate to tell you this, but all women get hit on more when they travel. The reason is simple - a traveling woman is a low risk, high reward target.

I’m 31-years-old and feel death looming ever closer

This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.

I’m an Australian living in the USA but originally from Europe. I find myself having to defend Americans from the Australians and Europeans I know (“Americans are so dumb, hur dur”.... umm yeah, but most of the best universities in the world, and ground breaking research is happening in America) and defending/shutting…

Forget another episode of “Barry Allen: World’s Dumbest Smart Guy.” We have to talk about all the easter eggs! All they saw while travelling to Earth 2! I saw the Flash from the 90's TV show, a Legion ring, traditional Green Arrow, Gorilla Grodd and of course SUPERGIRL!

He is a police officer. He chose to take the risk of putting on the uniform. He does not get to transfer those risks to civilians.

That’s why he’s being charged with manslaughter, not murder. It’s negligence, not willful intent to kill someone.

I am less concerned with the nonsense this person is talking and more with the gullibility of those who mindlessly agree with or support them. I’m really frustrated with the lack of critical thinking I’m seeing in the comments these days, jezebel has been becoming more and more light weight for the last couple of…

Not for nothing, but is Idris Elba the only black British actor in the world? He’s very good, don’t get me wrong, but it seems like whenever there is a talk to have a non-white British male actor cast in a role he’s the first name mentioned - Bond as an example.

I’m so pleased to see so many experts on Australian culture, politics and history in the comments! Canadian experts at that! seriously wtf are you all on about? perhaps you think you are well informed, and unsurprisingly there are plenty of people unfamiliar enough with Australia to agree with you, but in reality you…

That is genius!

Hmmm....the person who dismissed you wasn’t particularly nice about the way they phrased their point, but I think it’s a valid point, and I’m glad they brought it up. I’m sure the OP was not criticizing the tone of this article or anything, and I’m sure he had nothing but the best of intentions. But you can have the…

Preferably said in a Scottish accent!

Yeah, I’m a sucker for angels, and the Devil. I don’t know what it is, but a good portrayal of the Devil is like chocolate. Viggo Mortensen in The Prophecy makes the most of his minutes on film, still give me the chills. Mark Pellegrino was just plain fun on Supernatural. Tim Curry may not be playing the Devil in…

He’s trying to solve it. He’s pudding his best people on it.

The internet cried when The Hunger Games cast a black girl as Rue, even though she matched the written description. The Harry Potter play cast a black performer as Hermione and the net lost it again, tho Jo Rowling applauded. Tom Cruise is shorter than I but played Jack Reacher, who’s described as 6'6 and 220+, and…

I’m digging Ellis’s take on Lucifer: he’s dirty/ slimy unattractive and has the unblinking black eyes down. If they keep the writing sharp, I’ll keep watching.
