Well I was comparing popularity. If you want to compare his tasteless jokes, I would point to South Park, Family Guy and Daniel Tosh. All of whom, rightly so, have gotten into similar hot water for not really thinking through their joke material. I think Pew Die Pie's biggest mistake was not just humbly apologizing…

I don't think he is making millions off "only malformed video game junkies". He is a legit star in the tween and teen world. Just because traditional media sneered at New Kids on the Block back in the day did not mean they were not popular to a huge and very desirable advertising segment of the population.

Let's not go too far here. I think offensive comedy is fine and I think the WSJ video was kind of hyperbolic. But, and this is a big but, PewDiePie was clearly out of line in these instances. A millionaire losing one corporate deal is a mild and fair rebuke.

You won't believe these 7 tricks to get your racist memes on the AV Club. Number 4 will blow your mind!

But we drink plenty of Malk, why are our bones so brittle?

Except for the projection, sound and seats. I would not be in favor of going back to cigarette burns, fixed seats without cushions and stereo sound. Remember those times that the projectionist forgot to put on the second reel and you had to go yell at someone to fix it?

Or great for getting into a 6 month debate with a creationist on a movie I had never seen back in 2005.

I am so glad I blocked most of those people years ago. I friended them, saw their occupations, spouses and kids. That is all I really cared to know. Makes class reunions kind of redundant.

Isn't it also implied that the mother killed all the people on the bus by making them wait on her as she looked for her son? Sure they left eventually, but they might have made it had she gotten on the bus right away or told them to leave her.

What I was trying to say is that in the first tweet there is a connection to the work of the agency. The second tweet pertains to the sustainability of the agency. If they had re-tweeted some grab them by the pussy meme, then I would be right there with you. But there are times that an organization as whole can act…

Isn't the National Park service in charge of the National Mall? It toes the line, but info about how many people are using this resource does fit their mandate. The info about scrubbing the climate change web pages could also impact their work. So both were political, but they were far from personal political beliefs.

I think there are good times to lose yourself in pop culture. This is not one of those times.

Ok, for some reason I always assumed those hideous 70's appliances I had growing up in the 80's were faded and that was why they had that two tone effect on the edges. But they came like that new? Good god why?

TDS was just everywhere though. And it was the height of dumb lyrics by Trent. I am a huge NIN fan, but it would not bother me a bit if I never heard Closer again in my lifetime.

The Fragile is probably his best work. I am not a huge fan of Hesitation Marks or With Teeth, but I do think they are more mature than TDS which just grates on me anymore.

Actually he has released lossless versions without any DRM. That is kind of the point of not going through a record company. He knows enough fans will either pay for a digital copy or better yet for limited edition merch like the vinyl or art books to more than make up for any piracy. I wish more musicians would…

I buy the vinyl to frame and hang on the wall. I can listen to the digital version whenever, wherever I want.

They could bring Pussy Riot on stage as their special guests.

And it is really hard for the guy who was touting the rigging of the system to turn around and try to hold the system together. Sorry, once you call the very system into question, you do not get a pass just because you are now a part of the system.
