If I was standing next to a famous female celebrity of comparable attractiveness to Lebron James, so like Kerry Washington or ScarJo or someone like that, and she went to put her arm around me for a photo, the last thing I'd be concerned about was her sweaty pits.

Ha! Yeah. That's why I made my comment. I haven't had to do it in awhile, but I spent a lot of time as a Star Trek loving teenager standing on a tiny window sill trying to get the bunny ears that had metal rods duct-taped to them in just the right position so I could watch what was still a highly grainy version of D…

I never said it was. I just pointed out that not everyone can afford a media library, so a private advocacy group, even one as awful as the PTC, (not the government) asking (not ordering) a station to cater it's advertising to an age appropriate audience (which makes free-market business sense anyways) isn't exactly…

There are still digital signal broadcasts. So not traditional bunny ears, but effectively the same thing.

Well, to be fair, my mind went exactly where the Royals don't want it to go when I saw this picture.

You're right, the PTC is an awful organization. Still though,asking for a stay from tits and violence during a kids special doesn't seem all that unreasonable. As I said elsewhere, at least they are throwing in violence. Normally the PTC has little to say about violence, and lots to say about sex.

I hate to be the fucking dingaling that rants on about classism when everyone is clearly just joking, but plenty of people still use bunny ears to tune in to stations like CBS who can't exactly afford big personal DVD collections.

Until you accidentally press the bottom of your screen and open your browser to the last page you were browsing that has a video involving two people, a watermelon and handcuffs.

Well, at least they are being consistent w/r/t violence and sex. Normally it seems like they ignore the former. I also have to say, that this request doesn't really bug me all that much. I mean, does a 5 year old watching Rudolph need to be subjected to tits, or worse, NCIS commercials?

I'm sure if you just type it a few more times, people will actually believe you.

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

As long as we get an ending I don't really care what happens, provided it doesn't have too many danglers and that Arya at least gets to kill someone worth killing, like Cersei or someone similar, before GRRM snuffs her out because she's a fan favorite.

So you admit that your attempt to delineate her from them was bullshit because by addressing her they give up all right to claim that they have any clue how to act "as if"?

I'm not sure the OP was doing that, but to me the issue is that if you are a celebrity and you don't want to have someone be seen as your equal, you can't address them.

When they choose to actually address her in their little arguments, they get rid of the distinction you raise when you say "which one of these things is not like the other".

Of the 4, she's the one you choose to unload on?

Don't underestimate the space-time continuum disrupting ability of this much stupidity and ridiculousness compressed into such a small group of people.

In a way, we're all Corgi Bride in the wonderful storybook wedding that is life.

What a dork.

My dad got Malaria once when he was traveling in Africa. He got all macho man about the prevention meds they were supposed to use, and he wound up catching it.
