When the Gawker Gizmodo Media Group respects the personal lives of celebrities at a beach or whatever, I’ll stop laughing at the double standard that is this article.

I was stalked by a violent and deranged man who periodically tries to find me again. I have to be super stern with people not to take my photo or post it online if they do have it. I always give a short explanation: “A few years ago, I was stalked and now I maintain no social media presence.” The usual response is…

I see a couple of armchair lawyers trying to suggest your right to take pictures in public is completely unfettered. That is actually not correct.

Counterpoint dude. JJ Abrams basically aped all the story beats of the original and turned in a largely mediocre movie which was only saved by the chemistry of the fresh young leads, Adam Driver as the Anakin Skywalker we deserved, and the surprisingly emotional death of Han Solo.

The problem is that more often than not, the fans want a million unrealistic things to happen at once.

Enema of the State is...the worst Blink 182 album

Pop culture obsessives

It's Se7en, not S7ven. I get that this is nit-picking, but when the article is about avoiding pop culture because the name is stupid, at least get the stupid name of a cited work right. 

The title and early promotional stuff for iZombie made it sound like the worst teenie-bopper crap. If I had known it was the Veronica Mars team I wouldn’t have waited so damn long to check out this fun procedural with surprisingly deep worldbuilding and a really charming cast.

McDonalds drive-thru.   It would come free with a super-size 

I think that was a few years back at this point.

“An electrician told Loeb to go fuck himself before she quit” is such a great sentence.

If men got pregnant, abortions would be available at Starbucks.

You must have your child... oh he’s brown? to the cages!
