Driving the skin bus to tuna town, you mean. 

I never saw the first one, so I can’t be expected to care about this, but I am disappointed that they didn’t call it “Sausage Party: Sloppy Seconds.

Does he still own stock in Raytheon?

Now all we need is some financing!

Quechua is an indigenous language widely spoken in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and northern Argentina. “Jerky” — in the dried meat sense — also comes from Quechua “ch’arqui” and took more or less the same path.

Take me back to the times when the AV Club boards were like that all day, every day!

Fair point, I suppose. 

It’s not that he isn’t talented or clever: he’s both. But even in rap, where wordplay counts for a whole lot, it’s usually the singer, not the song. Eminem can write and do verbal gymnastics like few others, but so what? I find his delivery too nasal and too sharp by half: the dude can’t seem to be anything but

The question is what a certain genre values. You can play country, blues, and various kinds of folk music until you’re ninety years old, but those genres revere tradition, have a relatively stable set of standards, and admire musicians who’ve honed their craft. Other genres (techno, rap, much of rock and roll) believe

I was kinda surprised that she was his only real act. Maybe he treats her differently than he treats most people, and maybe she feels that she needs the weight that he can probably still throw around. Who knows? But you’d think that a black queer woman would be uh, more attuned to that sort of toxic behavior. But then

I’m just one self-aggrandizing white dude short of a bad movie!

I can’t remember. That you shouldn’t ask them on dates after Labor Day? Help me out here!

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m back to black babes!

Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if they did, at least if they avoided discussing politics completely. 

I’d never heard that. If true, it tracks. I share his politics, most of the time, but Olbermann comes off as an asshole of gigantic proportions.

Charmingly, D’Souza was part of the “Dartmouth Review” editorial team at Dartmouth College that, in the eighties, knocked down a model shantytown that was intended to symbolize the sufferings of black South Africans under apartheid. He apparently dated Laura Ingraham for a while. Oof.

I hope that someone has The Count from Sesame Street keeping track of all the women with lawsuits against Diddy.

I think that Sprulock’s self-me-tooing should be referred to as an “I too” moment.

I see your point, but I’m not sure. “Super Size Me” is far from a perfect piece of work, but nobody ever had to teach anyone from Dinesh D’Souza or anyone from Project Veritas anything about how to be disingenuous. At best Sprulock presented them with a template, but there are always a few of those available.
