oh thank christ. i was hoping for another dogpile article, it's been a while since you all got to congratulate each other on holding the correct opinions

If you feel a deep need to watch infallible authority figures using christlike powers to save a populace of sheep from the evil menace, CBS is happy to shit out CSIs onto your face until the end of time.

yay! another AV club dogpile where everyone can congratulate each other for holding the correct opinion! I LOVE THESE

Nothing is more exciting than a gender-politics dogpile. It's so gratifying to see right-thinking people being celebrated for having the approved opinions

What I don't understand is why, if you want to be "protected" from knowledge or whatever, would you seek out articles related to the thing you don't want to learn about?
