I heard "fookin' ell," but either way, this is very funny, and thanks a ton for that. It has been a day.

that cabbie has a healthy sense of self-respect, and i applaud him for it.

This is why my bf WON'T stand up for me when someone says something. He's scared they're going to be nuts. We just walk away. I get upset with him, but I guess he's right to be worried.

Actually, on Jezebel a far more common question is 'why don't men standing by intercede?' and I think this is a better answer to that more frequent question. While women are justifiably more aware than men of the risk of sexualized violence in public, men tend to be more aware of the threat of generalized…

On a totally unrelated topic, Barack is how you spell peach in Hungarian and my family still living there can't get over how cute it is.

Except that it is her profession and she is not ashamed of it at all. Why should we instill that shame on her by saying "Oh we won't mention what you do for a living." If she were a doctor, lawyer, etc. would you say something like that? Do you recognize that telling people they should omit that is basically an…

Are we just supposed to accept that these people can literally get away with anything?

In reference to the engineering problem that traffic dynamics presents, I'd have to disagree with you...Traffic lights are one of the biggest reasons to speed.

This is why is this issue is difficult, no one is really wrong. You're not wrong for wanting a local business that suits your needs and your neighbors aren't wrong for fearing what those local business could lead to. Nor is the person that wants to open the coffee shop or wealthier person who sees the nifty coffee…

Oh, you are so new. If you honestly think that the Black/Latin people who have been living in those neighborhoods for decades never complained to their aldermens and other district/city officials about the shitty conditions, then I have a lovely bridge to sell you. It connects Brooklyn to Manhattan and is quite…

Who said people are moving in for "exoticism"? They're mostly moving in because it's cheap in an expensive city with tight construction limits, not because they particularly love living in a poor, ethnic neighborhood.

Well, maybe you move into that neighborhood because you can't afford to live anywhere else. There are poor white people (mostly rural poor, as opposed to urban poor, so they're not very visible or discussed). I grew up in a minority-majority neighborhood that started off nicely and then quickly went downhill in terms…

Remind me; is she a teen mom or a real housewife?

A friend of mine lives in Southern Africa - and unfortunately there is quite a movement there against vaccinations, too with even more horrific results. Frankly, at this point I'm not even sure whether anti-vaxxers are fit parents; I think they're up there with Jehova's witnesses who'd rather have kids die then…

Tell me again about how Megyn Kelly was wrong about Santa being white?

It's mainly because every holiday season police in the UK go batshit about how we're all going to get drunker than usual. It means more rape PSAs (at varying degrees of good and dreadful) and, hearteningly, many more PSAs about drink driving. It gets a little irritating to be bombarded with this shit when you're…

NYC and Boston residents both want to fight you now.

I think this is a little ridiculous. Jezebel bitches (and rightly so) when models are overly Photoshopped into unrecognizable fleshsticks wearing clothes.

Thanksgiving at the Reilly house is going to be awkward on so many levels this year

UK immigration law (including legislation on trafficking) is predominantly concerned with keeping poor, brown-skinned, low-skilled people OUT of the UK and ensuring they have no rights in this country if they have made it across our (incompetently policed) borders.
