This should have been obvious to even the most dimwitted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology.

It was an evil thing to do to someone who was suffering. No-one had any right to hear that.

Gayer than 'Go West' by the Pet Shop Boys?

I take your point, but if we had to scratch off any band or song name which has connotations which could potentially bother someone, we'd have a lot of work to do. If this band name genuinely hurts someone, I'd respect that, but this feels far more like people availing themselves of an opporutnity to posture.

I'm reminded that Bonnie Raitt's 1972 album Give It Up is dedicated to the North Vietnamese. Probably one of the very country albums of which that can be said.

I assumed they were faux incensed at the offense to the Viet Cong.

Yep.

Why must you be like this?

Which guys are you referring to? I have a feeling it applies to both parties.

I appreciate the good intention, I just think it's an unreasonable demand. Gang of Four presumably had some well-considered Leftist reason for naming themselves that, but does it really matter? PJ Harvey has a song called 'Kamikaze'. It's a metaphor. Is it wrong to use a metaphor that, I don't know, someone might…

Is it actually offensive, though? Are they maligning the Viet Cong (assuming we're supposed to admire the Viet Cong, in any case) or are they just a bunch of harmless dunderheads?

I could sit here and try to rationalize what I did which, let's be honest, was unadulterated misogyny, but I'm not going to do that. What I did was wrong, pure and simple. I know that my changing the order now can't undo the harm I've done, but I intend to spend a long period in solitary contemplation with her…

So they're idiots. Does it matter? Are the Decembrists making light of Tsarist oppression? Tap the breaks once in a while, people.

Wow, Ivan Krasnov is like Lena Dunham, Mandela, MLK, and a bunch of other heroes combined.

Good choices all!

And you're clearly proud of it. You use and discard men like the wrapper on your Sriracha Quesarito.

You're heartless.

Try some brandy or a hot toddy.

Woah, woah. Cool the antisemitism, okay?

Is that the Branford from last year? Meant to find that.
