The prank or joke is probably that someone is writing fake notes to a nonexistent employee. I'm sure all the employees probably look forward to each day's new 'Shane note.' I know it would probably be the highlight of my day if I worked at Walmart.

OH MY GOD YOU ARE A GENIUS! How the FUCK did I miss that opportunity?! It's probably because my dad used to always break up my sister and my fights by saying we had to fill a sock with quarters and take it out back (I guess he never suggested a lock unless we actually tried to do it. FWIW - a sock full of pennies…

Haha you really are Butters aren't you?

OMG that scene w Suzanne sobbing and holding the UNO deck... I broke down. My heart broke so hard for her and I had to keep telling myself "it's just a show, she's an actress, its not real".

The casting for the younger versions of the characters was incredible. Dead ringers, all of them.

I loved it because it was exactly that cut and dry. All these people would gladly choke her out bare handed, but she gets taken down by someone that didn't have that much of a beef with her. Fucking hilarious.

If she turns out to be not dead (please god no), it will go against a major movie/TV rule I have known to be true: if they have their eyes open, they dead.

What in the hell is the tone of this article?? Pretty much nothing about this is funny, besides privileged america once again showing its ass. At least Mark's post semi-acknowledged it.

Here's the prequel video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vxe1WH…

That's owlsome.

This does happen with men as well! My brother-in-law (who is 24 and has 3 kids with his wife) had to beg and plead and cajole his doctor into LETTING him get a vasectomy. Their three children were unplanned (though not unwelcome) and they knew that they were crappy at using birth control and didn't want any more…

Every time I read one of these posts I start thinking 'I'm really going to do it now, I'll learn how to use makeup properly and do it for work and look really amazing all the time' but then I remember I can barely manage getting out of bed on time to shower, feed the cat and have some breakfast. I'll stick to just…

That was actually the argument that got me to stop eating meat. It was stronger than every PETA video I saw.

I'm really into mermaids.

I am judging the person who wrote this article. It seems to me that she lacks common sense. What poor logic she has used in her deductive analogy. Forgetting one's child in the car, or leaving them there for hours in deadly conditions intentionally is not the same thing as purposely leaving them strapped in a car seat…

Tracy also conveniently left out this quote by Lenore Skenazy: "by far, the most dangerous thing you did to your child that day was put him in a car and drive someplace with him. About 300 children are injured in traffic accidents every day — and about two die. That's a real risk. So if you truly wanted to protect…

I agree that the comparison between Brooks and the parents who leave children in the car by accident is totally specious. Not the same thing at all, unless Tracey was going to make the connection between the deaths of children by parents who genuinely forgot them and the enactment of the law that Brooks would be/was…

There is a world of difference between people who forget their child while heading into work—and that is something that I understand and fear—and those who run into a store for five minutes. The Weingarten piece is about people whose routines are changed in just a tiny way, while the Brooks piece is about someone who…

It makes no sense to compare what Brooks did with the people profiled in Weingarten's excellent piece. They are completely different scenarios, and it undercuts your argument to put them in the same league. Regardless, I have no problem whatsoever with what Brooks did. You don't need to "tell everyone it's totally OK…
