I’m no physicist, but I am also baffled how he came out of that slide like a Jackie Chan movie outtake where the paramedics had to get involved. We need that footage, specifically the timestamp where he thuds his big dumb bonehead into the slide which definitely happened.

Man, the amount of people in these comments that are willing to write off a huge group of people just because they want some spotlight is really gross. I find it strange that people seem to have no problem empathizing with SAG strikers but are fine with a group of performers who have less protections and are often…

“At the outset, we require our third-party production partners to have appropriate workplace policies and training in place.”

Then again, NBC was responsible for The Biggest Loser, and that show was...not good. I know folks who worked on that, and NBC deserves a lawsuit if anything similar was happening on other shows.

I’ve watched that video half a dozen times and it gets a hearty chuckle out of me every single time. The mysteriously loud clanging followed by the rag doll floppy exit. The coup de gras is that piece of his Batman belt flying off.

The public deserves to know what exactly happened in there while he was ping ponging around inside the slide. Twitter needs to petition the Mayor and the police department to RELEASE THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE! 

I’ve been on a popular reality TV show (not the networks mentioned) and had a similar experience. Crew would show up reeking of alcohol from the night before, and would often make lewd comments toward the cast. Post-show, one of the producers started texting me about how big his dick was. I never complained for fear…

There was a period of Survivor where Tyler Perry (yes, that Tyler Perry) told Jeff Probst that it would be fun to only allow some of the female contestants a very minimal amount of clothing to wear, often just the bra and underwear they hit the beach with on day one. Jeff Probst thought that was a great idea, and they…

It’s easy to be sympathetic in regards to the children. Even Wil Wheaton has come out and talked about how professional actors had little protections from parents robbing them blind. (I think Angela Watson, from Step by Step, was one of the most vocal towards the changes made... Even Mickey Rooney complained about how…

Hopefully the children on these shows can get some protections and/or compensation. The Duggar children were screwed over by their own father who made money off them for years and manipulated them in to signing contracts. The Gosselin kids probably should be paid as well.

I stopped watching “reality” tv during MTV’s The Real World Hawaii because the producers let Ruth drive while intoxicated because it made for good TV but next episode threatened to kick her off the show if she didn’t get help.

No, they’re right. You can be friendly and open and a great boss, but you need concrete professional boundaries.  Turning your employees into friends is a recipe for disaster.

Actually, it happens A LOT MORE...but having an eating disorder that makes you too skinny or too muscular is not a moral failure in this dichotomy, but being fat IS. 

It’s more railing against the idea that there’s only one body type that’s completely healthy. That being skinny/overweight isn’t an automatic death sentence that the media likes to portray sometimes.

The best interpretation here is that Lizzo thought her dancers were are friends. I know nothing of Lizzo beyond good as hell and her brand. Sounds to me she thought she had a posse of friends, not employees. I can see how these allegations could be a girls night out gone wild with Lizzo believing she was creating a…

It’s pretty much the same defense as Lea Michele, Jonah Hill, and Ellen DeGeneres.

I think the Booktok aspect makes it problematic because they have fancast a character as a real person, and now they are harassing that real person who has nothing to do with these novels and just wants to play hockey without people yelling/messaging sexually graphic things at him, and I think he’s entitled to do that.

I think it’s hilarious how desperate the author is to excuse what she admits is a double standard. Might as well have ended every sentence about women harassing men with 💅.

That’s typical of conservatives. If they are forced by personal circumstance to recognize some right because they or their loved one suddenly needs that right, they’re for that right. But only that right. So if they’re trans but not a trans athlete, they’re for trans rights but not trans rights for stuff they don’t…

Oh, Caitlin. Always making herself the poster child for “Equality, but just for me!”
