Sum Ting Wong!

Europeans know how to deal with their 1%. Just use knock out gas then go all Robin Hood on them. I love this sort of crime because there is no injury, the rich get taken down and everybody wins in the end (aside from chafed feelings - no, make that frickin’ abject terror, to be honest) because I am certain all that…

This is about a macho ideal - the sort of thing that cinema douchebags discuss over glasses of scotch - the thrill of the hunt etc. Like beating your wife, polluting the planet and colonizing other countries - it’s an outmoded way of thinking. That said, this sort of douchebaggery is how certain places earn their…

Whatchoo talking bout Willis?

I am interested in the now ex-wife, the end of their relationship and the “discovery” of the hard disk. He is a creep for sure, he should be under the prison, not just inside of it. I’m curious, though, about whether he was a creep alone, or if this was something he shared with his partner until their relationship ran…

Exactly. People are not going to stop listening to Spector. They are going to stop consuming Cosby work. Even though Spector gave a woman a dirt nap over a sexual conflict using the pistol he carried on him at all times. Even though he was convicted of murder and imprisoned. And I have no problem with that disparity.

Well, then you shouldn’t listen to anything Phil Spector produced without thinking of him murdering a woman with a gun over sex. It’s like a permanent roofie. (My glib reference to murder is not because I take the crime lightly. Rather - it’s because you “for one” have no idea what Spector did (kill a woman in cold…

And the right wing thinks progressives (not to box you with that label, but if you are on Jezebel I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you might be liberal) have no moral compass. Maybe it’s okay to only consume creative work from people whose actions somewhat agree with one’s own ideas of right and wrong. (Here -…

Yeah, is she okay?

Well, certainly one solution is to focus even MORE attention on oneself, one’s body, how unfair it is, how to get “real” people into ads, etc. Or, you know, you could read a book. Or, I dunno, be of service to something larger than oneself. Or, yes, you could be ever more detailed about the political unfairness of…

Were I white, I’d say, “You have a point there,” in response to Whoopi saying Wes films, or anything else, is white. The piece where they count up all the films, then list the race of each, then opine on whether this head count is “enough.” Seriously? Why the defense? Wes is not commenting here - so unless you are…

You filed a report of rape. Columbia agreed. He appealed. Columbia changed his tune. I realize we want rap ists punished and victims validated. How doe we reconcile the reality of a due process that sometimes finds that those accused of rape do not merit punishment with that of the victim? Had Columbia’s guilty…

Does anyone think it's kind of rich that the finance business, which did a fairly horrendous job of keeping its own books in order, is in charge of judging us on our ability to do likewise? I get it, the rules are the rules, we are not allowed to think up better alternatives to tried and true usury, but still - that…

How is it that the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is still a thing? In a world where language and culture are patrolled 24/7 lest there be a slip of the sexist tongue, how is this still allowed to exist?

You can't get the good Cadbury's choco here. Our Netflix is way crappier than that shown in other countries. Japanese quality of everything is always better than the same product sold in America. We are fucked.

This did not haunt me even for a few seconds. People have sex with chickens, dogs, horses and each other at various ages, sizes and levels of relationship. Worrying about what they do with their junk is about as productive as trying to move glasses with the power of your mind. My opinion about what she does is about…

Brother Whitson - your handling of this thread was yeoman's work! Nice job on putting the service into service journalism. Please tell Nick Denton that I nominate you for a raise!

You are bending over backwards to defend the indefensible. Who speaks for the younger Dunham? She is supposed to take the fall, or, rather, be filled - so the great woman is not besmirched by her own reportage of utterly dysfunctional and abusive behavior? So none of you is feminist enough to defend the person who had…

Lena Dunham is really important to you, isn't she?

This was inspiring. And thanks for Black Quarterback.
