I read a review of Naomi Wolf's 'Vagina' (there really is no good way to phrase that, but hey ho) which said "She literally does not know what the word literally means". I loled.

To paraphrase Bart Simpson; if that's not Amanda Bynes, somebody's done their homework.

"Ooh, Mr. Selfridge, I'm not sure the public will go for this idea which everyone watching the show knows worked perfectly well in the end!" - someone, at least once, in all 1,378 episodes of Mr. Selfridge.

Your name caps this post off beautifully. David Bowie is the anti-Joe Swanberg.

I love it when this happens. Old X-Files episodes and David Tennant-era Doctor Who episodes are particular goldmines.

Disagree. He killed it in The Ides of March.

I didn't mean you, I meant the Tea Party Hunger Games fans who made the above.

Much as I love Veronica Mars and AD, it does bother me that, given the keys to the machine, all those fanboys and girls who complain about Hollywood making too many remakes, spin-offs and sequels are funding... remakes, spin-offs and sequels.

At least now we know who was complaining about minorities being cast in the Hunger Games movie.

Agree. She seems fun as hell in real life, too.

You're defending a show that has dragons in it with "but this is reality!".

There's a brilliant Jon Ronson article about the trial of the 70s pop manager and pedophile Jonathan King, where on the last day in court his defence team played a video showreel of all the artists he'd discovered and managed. Ronson points out that he was trying to do to the court what he did to the people he

Yeah, the sexual violence element is really jarring and unpleasant. The underlying thought appears to be that slackers and rapists are both side-effects of men being thought of as "useless"; so ladies, if you don't want to be raped, date more men! Ugh.

"Project my assholery" is brilliant. I know some people think everything written on Jezebel is man-bashing, but as A Dude (and therefore entitled to waffle self-indulgently about being A Dude) the only stuff that ever seems to hew close to misandry is Hugo's writing, and it's because he just casually assumes that all

You've got to praise his originality, though. Most dickheads are mourning the fact that white people can't say the n-word, but a truly fearless thinker like Simon just reaches straight back into the nineteenth century for his whine. I can't wait until he discovers the word "quadroon".

I, myself, am an internationally famous commenter on the internet. Bow before me!

What surgery did you have to make you sound like an asshole?

You're adorable. I've never seen anyone go from actual snobbery to reverse snobbery so quickly.

I always seem to have got on better with lesbians and bisexual women than any other gender/sexuality combination, but then, I'm a bisexual man - I've got no problem going to a gay bar if I want to meet them. I wonder if a lot of other men feel this way but choke it back because they're more 'bro-ish' and their
