I'm three months late, but I'm pissed at all the guys here for essentially gas-lighting you. The character was poorly written and her kiss with Nas was completely unnecessary. It also made me like Nas and Stone less because they never expressed remorse for ruining to career in a plan that didn't work and didn't end up…

Short Term 12.

I'm glad someone else thought of the puppet too. I genuinely thought Shari Lewis had released a new album with her puppet when I heard this story on the radio this morning. I thought Electronica was a weird choice for a kid's album, but I assumed the sing-alongable parts were just past where the clip ended.

I was thinking the same thing. People dress as Jesus all the time. It's usually white people which makes it more their culture I guess, but not even really then as he was a Middle Eastern man.

You think that's scary? I saw a movie where they gave one a vest and a giant gun.

Yes. Though that doesn't mean she hasn't experienced racism or that she can't speak out on behalf of others. I don't want to make the argument people are making against Kaepernik that he shouldn't protest black oppression because he has white parents and makes a lot of money. Just pointing out the humor in Mehdi…

Before she hit it big? You mean when she was 15? I'm not disagreeing with the overall point that Schumer should have picked a different song, but it's funny to talk about the pre-fame struggles of who was massively successful and rich as a teenager.

I have pondered dropping a bee hive. Instead I've just been calling the cops because I'm an old, cranky man.

Yeah. I usually like when a random accident causes a plot to come together as long as it's not too random. Coincidences and happenstance really do end up playing a huge part in real life.

Yes. Clearly Elliot's dad had a second life where he pretended to be a Swedish man whose only English language knowledge was a William Carlos Williams poem.

But why use Leon and not the completely expendable motorcycle assassins the Dark Army always uses? Wouldn't that make more sense?

Also, we just found out that Romero wasn't actually killed by the dark army. Unless you think Dom was lying, But I believed her.

If by "righteous indignation" you mean "mild confusion and even milder disgust about a song I don't really care about and should have forgotten years ago," then yes. It's very delicious. Thanks, tiger.

No, but apparently yours is. I was just playing along. Lighten up, man.

I know, right? How dare I discuss my opinion of a song on an article about the band who wrote and performed that song posted on a website devoted solely to discussion of pop culture? What was I thinking? Maybe if my opinions on your favorite band are too hurtful for your delicate sensibilities, you should not read…

Or maybe I could just not write a song about raping a 12-year-old? But that would be crazy, right?

Just? It was 1996, Dan. I don't think 20 years is "too soon."

You're welcome. I try to be magnanimous about these things.

A bit of an understatement for sleeping with a 12-year-old prostitute, no?

Dude…it's got a literal slide trombone and a happy ska beat. It's practically Yackety Sax. I get that the band sometimes juxtaposed dark lyrics with upbeat, playful music, but don't act like "Wrong Way" is a heartfelt tome for a poor, lost little girl. It's a goofy pop song about screwing a 12-year-old. Or not. As I…
