@labeled: CRAZY AUNT KANYE: Exactly. This really isn't so shocking to me. When we live in an age where scandals and sex tapes produce the next household name, sex kitten, or reality star, the question should be "who DIDN'T see this coming?"

@morninggloria: If everyone feels like crap, then no one will, right?

@justalfie: Exactly. There is also the very real possibility that the interviewer, photographer, and set designer had just as much contempt for her as the general public and set her up for it in some manner.

@PaigeTurner: It IS really disturbing that she rationalizes their behavior by blaming the wife, who incidentally was going through a lot of health issues at the time. However, there is something to be said about how your mind changes once you've been the "other woman."

@Lymed: EXACTLY. Why the hell is prom such a big deal to some people? It's a DANCE. You are dumbing down all the fun things about senior year into about four hours of bad cover bands and Jessica McClintock.

@Penny: In high school it was the yearbook room, or going out to sell ads over lunch. I could "work" in there and conveniently avoid the fact that I had no friends in my lunch period.

Of course; bullies don't bully because they're secure in who they are. People who are even more insecure than the bully are good targets; it reminds you that there's someone lower than you are. People who are above you aren't "better"; they just need to be taken down off their high horse.

@badmutha: The amygdala is one of the most active areas of the brain during memory coding. Ironically, it also deals specifically with negative emotions. It's one of the major reasons we remember bad things that have happened to us more clearly.

@Jadis4742: I cannot WAIT until I finally get my grubby hands on a PS3 so I can go BioShock 2 crazy. Big Daddies forever!

@Lady Skittlehattington: Honestly, all the harping of "OMG it could be a woman! OMG it could be a black guy! OMG it could be one of those other white dudes!" from the absolutely abysmal ABC announcer was infuriating. Even Bab's speech put me off. I know it's important that a woman won, but this woman director was…

@pesematology: Technically, it would be the one cognizant of pain, period.

@femme-bot: That seems to be the argument. In a way, it harkens back to the philosophy of many indigenous cultures: if you must kill the animal, it is more respectful to use as much of it as possible. Is that point of view really relevant in a world of synthetic materials (and natural ones)? No, and it's certainly not…

People are surprised because statistically, she is an anomaly. The majority of serial murderers are men (they are certainly the ones we hear about most on television). The majority of diagnosed sociopaths are also men. We fixate on her case because it is different, and the difference in this case happens to be her…

So let me get this correctly:

From a marketing standpoint, he's very savvy. A&F claims to have hit the niche of "casual luxury." Luxury is inherently exclusive, like specialness: If everyone has it, then no one can. So marketers appeal to that aspirational need as well as the need for love and belonging to create an exclusive image. So yes,…

Of course she's qualified. All one needs to be an expert is a gaping maw especially adept at verbal diarrhea.

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: This is also what is hysterical about fundamentalism. By nature, it means that EVERYTHING must be interpreted literally, including all the contradictions.

@Raspberry Swirly: Facebook fights tend to dwell more in the realm of "faux argument" or "outraged discussion", and honestly, are usually so poorly written that it's not worth getting angry over (in my expereince, anyway). If there's shorthand, I usually check out.

Tumblr "didn't have a lot of avenues for negativity."

I was denied anything that could have ever possibly been construed as a collectors item.
