You clearly don't know much about the rest of the world. Just because rape culture exists here in NZ, doesn't mean it does not exist elsewhere. I've lived in other countries, it's everywhere, it's a global problem. Trying (and failing) to 'measure' countries as better or worse than one another completely side-steps…

It was actually a great comedy moment: she'd gone way overboard and we all just shrugged.

Oh good, I've been waiting for the one-publicity-stunt-too-far moment so all the attention on her would start to wane. Hopefully this will go the way of Gaga in the egg.

Yikes, so glad the girl got out of that creepy-as-hell marriage - check out this clip where she's talking about it to her Big Brother housemate. She sounds so sad an confused! "I don't want to leave this house feeling so strong and independent that I don't depend on him anymore." What?

Blackface? No idea what you're talking about, don't think you read my comment. I'm talking about a tattoo. See story above about Rihanna.

Just chiming in with a nice big "Fuck YOU Riri."
As a New Zealander, when people on this site were all "Oh she's appropriating culture with that moko" (traditional Maori tattoo), I was all generous and commented that if it's done right and the intention is good there's not problem here...
Now she's gone and tattooed…

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at an internet comment. I honestly just threw my head back and roared. I love you .

So tell me, what's does "lost innocence" come to in dollar value?

Yes. Absolutely. And he tried to be sociable about this annoying habit by making others share in whatever boring thing he's looking at or playing. Like we find it as fun as he does. Urgghhh, hate it. I'm also trying so hard to train my boyfriend out of looking at his phone so much, even when out to dinner! But at…

I feel the same way as Gervais, and have never had an experience such as what you describe. I went to church sometimes as a kid, and suspected it was all a bunch of made-up, divisive, nonsense even then. My adult, science-loving brain still backs that up. I don't shout about it like Gervais, but I do appreciate that…

SO TEMPTED to send this study to a friend I was arguing with. He lets his babies sit with his ipad for ages, watching videos, playing games, drawing, etc. His argument is that kids will be more advanced than us, this techonlogy needs to be part of their lives just like how we had books as babies. But I just could not…

Exactly. But what I'm pointing out is that in all the horribleness of this case, the one bright spot is that now the victims now have the means to create a good, secure future for themselves. So shitting on the single positive outcome in all of this seems redundant.

Want to give Ellen the benefit of the doubt... but the woman who writes/produces 2 Broke Girls? That does not excite me at all.

I just don't understand redundant statements like these. First of all, that's a hell of a lot of money and will set each of them up comfortably, which is a positive thing. Secondly, how much is enough to get over childhood sexual abuse? $5 million? $10 million? There isn't a figure that will 'fix' that. The payout…

You just gotta keep on livin, man. L.I.V.I.N.

I was working with a photographer recently and having a big old gossip, and he says she is the worst person he's ever worked with. She gave him one face the whole time, said she wasn't being paid enough to do more than one look. And when he asked her to pose, she said "I don't pose, I'm just here, you find your shot".…

I'm getting a real strong Wooderson from Dazed & Confused vibe off Wilmer Valderrama's tweet there...

Finding men doing a haka attractive is in no way the same thing as fetishising/exoticisng a culture. The haka is part of my culture, and damned if I don't find the guys sexy when they're doing it well. Nothing wrong with that. Lots wrong with massive overreactions and oversensitivity though! Perhaps take your snark to…

What the fuck are you even talking about? There is nothing fetishistic about this. Beyonce enjoying Maori culture = a positive experience all round. You're not from NZ, clearly, or you wouldn't sound like such an imbecile.

"Having lived in NZ". Well, I'm very glad you've now left. Good riddance.
