@Ack: An interesting example is Woodrow Wilson. He won for trying (and failing) to establish the League of Nations. The intent was rewarded.

@Ack: Actually, not necessarily. It's historically been awarded for tangible actions OR promising efforts.

@hydrogen_jukebox: Being belted with baked goods would be a fabulous reward for peeling the sign off! Just think, free cupcakes!

Commentate. It may be correct (or not. I don't really care), but it's nails on a chalkboard to me.

@honkytonk: Yes!! I blame Alanis.

I hate Thanksgiving food. Turkey, can't eat something that looks like a dead bird on the table. Cranberry sauce, mushy. Sweet potato casserole, diabetic coma.

@Alexis Brown: Huh, I never thought of that - but you're so right. Boo, Paul McCartney!

@Hooplehead: You are my new favorite. When I tell people that I can't stand Forrest Gump, people tell me that I must be wrong. Also, Mr. Holland's Opus.

@judgingnora: Well, can I hate Beatlemania? Yes, the Beatles were incredibly talented and influential - BUT THERE WERE OTHER BANDS. Paul McCartney is a whiny, egotistical jerk. The Who and The Stones FTW.

@KentuckyBabe: That's exactly what my mom told me when I'd whine about her being soooo mean. I'm 30 now and our relationship has just recently turned into more of an equal sort of thing.

@CaptainTaxidermy: I want them so bad. So, so, so bad. Drooling on the screen.

Thanks, Emily Mortimer! The pressure put on pregnant women to deliver naturally is insane. Suffer the pain or YOUR BABEEZ WILL NOT BE GUD ENUFF!!1!!

@rodmanstreet: Yeah, that's what I thought. On one hand, anonymous weight loss sources drive me nuts. BUT it would warm the cockles of my heart if Tyra has been a secret boozer all along.

@Jan74: What a great post! Thanks for sharing your experience and shedding some light on the issue.

@LuvEwan: Well, I think that's a separate issue. This post is about Finke using homophobic and inflammatory language in public blog posts. No one's arguing about whether the language is "appropriate" for a work environment - I think we can all agree that calling someone a buttboy is not HR approved.

@Nariel: That's hysterical. And really offensive to any sane, rational thinking individual.

@PetiteGal: I've wondered that as well. I've run into several older men in my business that seemed to have Asperger's. Instead, they're just considered a bit strange. I wonder what a diagnosis would have meant to them. I honestly don't know if it would have been a positive or negative.

@LuvEwan: That being said, I respect anyone's decision to stand up for themselves if they feel uncomfortable.

@LuvEwan: I think there's a difference between a common expression like "sweating my balls off" (which I have been known to say myself), and using homophobic or misogynist language.

@ShadowWylde: My thoughts exactly. What in the world were they thinking? Is she supposed to look sexy? All I know is that this is my favorite vintage ad EVER.
