The intention of the law was to stop the creation and distribution of pornography involving children under the age of 18.

The defendants' lawyer is pissed that the child porn law is being applied in a way he claims is outside of the intention of the law and vows to fight the charges tooth and nail.

This article needs not one but TWO memes!

Because in Minnesota, if one party engaged in a sexual activity is 15 and the other party is 48 or fewer months older, it's not statutory rape.

I'm not sure how this guy is a dickbag. I mean, it seems like he was sent to do a press junket interview, and Mila decided she didn't want to do it when she got there. He keeps trying to salvage it, and it keeps spinning off.

I read the interview and Kunis definitely sounds cranky as hell. (Was this post just a proxy defense of the Gawker post the interviewer mentions by making him seem like a jerk?) Cutting him off, suggesting he's "fishing" for an answer (he asked what led her to acting — the nerve!) and generally being undiplomatic to…

I'd be a horrible interviewer. "What's your favorite cartoon? Oh mhmm, good choice. Do you like mustard or mayo potato salad? Very interesting. Would you like to go get ice cream? WHY NOT LET ME LOVE YOU WE COULD BE HAPPY TOGETHER"

"not that I'd risk offending her by asking" — I'll just write it into my story, passive aggressively.

What's blowing my mind is that they want to base the FAFSA off of only family size and the previous year's income. I'm a financial aid counselor and I've seen it all. I've seen families with zero EFC's (which demonstrates high need) cut $18k checks per semester. There are plenty of people that no longer make a…

If you call people poor, and if they accept they're poor, we as a society might have to look at the reasons for poverty, or ponder how Federal assistance is great, but maybe a good education should be truly affordable in order to help people rise out of poverty. This is exhausting. More importantly, this is America,…

Not only did I think it was funny (well- a "heh" level of funny, anyway), it reminded me to fill out my FAFSA this year.

speaking from experience, they're not mutually exclusive!

In this case "the internet" is a relative handful of disgruntled tweeters.

Or be, you know, cool.

Yeah, I didn't find it offensive. I kind of got annoyed in college with all of the euphemisms people used to avoid calling me poor, as though being poor were some sort of shameful insult or slur.

As someone who qualified for a Perkins loan through FAFSA ("low-interest federal student loans for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need.") I seriously do not find this offensive, but actually kind of cute and clever.

Maybe people could take a joke if they weren't, you know, crushed by education debt.

Color me kooky. I thought it was funny. (AND I filled out my FAFSA every year when I was a student.) I guess I'm far enough away from student loans (other than paying them monthly), that it amuses me.
