I prefer this one.

Eh...

This is basic sociology. Out-groups appropriate terms used against them, to control then, to neutralize them. They have that right. It is absolutely absurd for whites to emphasize their righteous indignation over racism by proclaiming a blanket ban on culturally appropriated labels. It's a demonstration of…

Chad Ghostal, on the other hand...

I drew that dinosaur, you guys. I drew it.

This was my comment to this story:
I realize this is going to make me sound much older than I am but if my little brother/sister/cousin were waving their cellphones around at a god-damn funeral I would lose it. I hate those damn things sometimes.

I agree. I do not understand our current trend of sharing fucking everything on the internet. I can't imagine my pain and heartbreak if my grandma passed and the last fucking thing I would be thinking about is how to post about it on Facebook. Fuck these entitled little pricks.

Seconded on the thank-you. You've said everything that *needed* to be said here (but, sadly, was not). Point final.

I would only amend this to say: Get the FUCK off my lawn, stupid selfie-taking assholes.

I was pretty surprised to see this was written by Caitlin Doughty, since I usually agree with her.
But this is pretty ridiculous. A selfie at a funeral is not a "form of grieving", it is a shameless attempt to make the occasion more about you and less about the actual person whose life you're supposed to be honoring.

Thank you. The entire practice reeks of mawkish narcissism, regardless of who does it.

Just no. Not everything needs to be memorialized on the internet. I don't want to see pictures of your dead grandma in her casket. Nobody needs to be involved in any of this besides the friends and loved ones of the deceased.

I personally hate the "I heart boobies" and "save second base" taglines because they imply that people should care about preventing breast cancer because boobs are totally hot, not because it's a devastating disease. That said, this is a ridiculous use of the court's time and the school's money.

Of course it was a Ferrari.

You know, I thought about seeing this movie, but after some reflection, I’ve decided against it. My boyfriend made a prediction after the success of The Help and The Butler. He said there would be an avalanche of seemingly-sympathetic/educational/raw movies depicting Black people in downtrodden positions. More…

It is very frustrating to see an essay with very important things to say that is so dreadfully written. Jezebel, if you're really trying to deal with your POC problem, then providing guest authors of colour with excellent editing would be a good place to start.

Ahem. This dish is called apple CRISP. But yes, it is very delicious.

I lived in Crisfield, Maryland and I use white bread. I dare someone to find a better crab pedigree than living in Crisfield..
