That may depend on who's doing the asking and who's doing the answering. My own thought is that while it may be a "normal" (interesting how this word is often used to justify something that might otherwise seem kinda messed up) social phenomenon, it's nevertheless a shame (#clearlynottoallpeople) how some concepts,…

Yep.

Yeah, I appreciate the distinction others here have made to that effect.

Come on. How disingenuous can you be? Whether they've made an overt claim or not is irrelevant, unless the bulk of content suggests a neutral or anti-feminist stance, and from where I sit that has never been the case. Not even close. Like, not even in that *galaxy*.

You could probably tell a lot based on her tone of voice and facial expression, but it seems possible that she wasn't throwing shade but maybe humblebrag "complaining" about how much she paid for it? You know the type.

This is what happens when one culture appropriates elements of another. Sometimes it goes kinda ok, but usually a lot of the nuance is completely lost on the appropriator. It's kind of poetic justice, if you think about it.

I see your point, but please understand that most "HBCU sorority girls" are not white chicks, vacuous or otherwise.

Only Jill Scott is Jill Scott. Only Erykah Badu is Erykah Badu. Thankfully we don't have to choose! <3 both of these women.

Shia: SCORE! Who's crazy now, people paying retail for classic DVDs?

Is that first part a directive, or just a suggestion? Either way, I can't really take it seriously unless you explain *why* I'm not to want a hug.

*huggles!!* LOL

Seriously, Sarah Silverman is quaking in her designer boots right now, eh?! Wait til she gets a gander at all the guys falling over themselves to heap praise on this particular niche. I heard she does nothing but hang out in the Jezebel comment section on Sundays. Any minute now: catfight! Well, ok, maybe more like…

Points? I have no use for points. Stars and cash. And make it snappy, sunshine.

Maybe it's not ball jokes they love, so much as slut-shaming jokes. Keep 'em coming. (GET IT?!!) Oh, I think you get it, all right. Go on girl, you do you. And everybody else, eh? ; ) Now where are my 300+ stars, chuckleheads? Fork 'em over, and hurry up about it. Actually I'll take the forks too. That Fieri…

I can't figure out why this is not only unfunny to me but actually off-putting. I'm sure some of the star-ers would have*colorful* suggestions as to why this might be, ha!, but truly I don't get what's putting me off about it. Let's see. I'm not a prude, I generally enjoy balls, birthdays are cool by me, the number…

Ah HA! I mean... that sounds perfectly reasonable. : ) I'm pretty open minded with food, but I admit I sometimes have a hard time looking past a personality that to me is obnoxious and irritating to an extreme. I've only seen Fieri in bits and pieces precisely for this reason. That said, I have seen him visit some…

"Rancid raspberry sauce? You call that a nightmare? *I* dreamed Fieri cut me in half and came at me throwing stale potato chips and oversalted pretzels like they were ninja stars. Then he doused me in chocolate syrup, stuck a knife in my side, and put me on display for a public jeering. I woke up just as three humans…

I can't tell if you're joking, and I am unsure if I should accord your comment more or less authority due to your screen name. Good thing I've made my peace with the fact that the universe is full of divine mystery. And bad food that some people may possibly sincerely think is great.

I know many women who refer to their male partner as Daddy once they have a kid (or become pregnant). I never considered it creepy. I've always "heard" it not like she is calling him that on her own behalf (like "you're my daddy") but rather of like... merely *referencing* him, not on behalf of the kid or baby but…

Shonda Rhimes wins. Hands down.
