It’s not complicated. There are frequently bad photoshop mistakes like this on covers. They took it to the next level intentionally. They were featuring comics on the cover, so they took that as an opportunity to make a goofy gag about magazine photoshoots like this being digitally manipulated. It doesn’t have to…

It is the “Comedy Issue” (it says so right there on the cover), and features three comedians. It is a comedic reference to past magazine covers such as this.

Yeah, because magazine covers have gotten ridiculous with the photoshopping, the prime example being the recent Vanity Fair Hollywood issue. VF caught some flack for that. So maybe it’s a tiny bit inside baseball, but very funny in context.

Re: Jeremy, what about his constant pursuing of Stassi, despite her saying no and trying to get away?

I had a feeling they were not going to address the domestic violence when they showed the preview of Billie getting all ticked off and making it seem like we should be on her side (i.e., not questioning Ariana’s brother), so I didn’t want the rest of the reunion. Glad I didn’t because I can’t afford a rage stroke at…

Her wannabe hood shit is just tiring. Isn’t she from Salt Lake City? Some actual black people need to put her in her place.

The whole show. The first two seasons are delightful battshittery. This season has been horrible, contrived, and worst of all boring.

Wow, that link explains a lot. That’s probably why Ariana got so mad, because she didn’t want that information on the air. If someone called my brother “creepy” yes I’d be mad, but I’d also first listen to what they were saying before I told them to fuck off because what the hell do I know about how my brother treats…

Start from the beginning, they’ll suck you in.

Tell me more! I need all the details!

It was mortifying watching that and realizing that NONE OF THE CAST (including Lisa) knows what feminism actually is. (Ariana was actually pretty close.) It’s not anti-feminist to have a sugar daddy.

Good point. Honestly though, using one’s own body or sexuality to get ahead and feminism are not mutually exclusive. People need to understand that women being free to say no to something AND women being free to do something without being painted as inferior or dehumanized are both important parts of feminism. Both…

Feminism is a word with a definition. People can claim to have their own “brands” or “definitions” of feminism, but the fact is that anything other than the definition of the word is not accurate.

It would go a lot further if she’d stop talking about how ‘ghetto’ and what a bad ‘gangsta bitch’ she is. Lala has a lot of learning to do, BUT given her growth I think she’ll probably get there, just not yet.

What I was thinking:

i agree.

I read this review a couple of hours ago and I couldn’t stop thinking about that line— I came here to say exactly this.

Thank you! I’m thinking of the articles about women’s health poor outcomes being linked to their pain and health concerns often being dismissed when men’s concerns are validated. Childbirth and rearing are huge life events and life changes, require resources and social supports that are disappearing in our society,…

I thought that was an odd line to include, as well. It struck me as unnecessarily dismissive, including the previous sentence about privilige and Cody’s other works (teen pregnancy, alcoholism, um, demonic possession). I mean, post-partum psychosis as “slightly miniscule”? Eek.

“It is indeed another story about a woman whose problems are, in the grand scheme of things, slightly miniscule.”
