I was expecting this comment thread to be incredibly sneery - discussing Keira Knightley in the UK always seems to devolve into a bitch-off - but am heartened that other people seem to love her as much as I do. She's badass.

I found out the other day that WaPo hack Jennifer Rubin thinks Obama might endorse Caroline Kennedy instead of Hillary for president, which hahahahaha no.

Quick, put it out with Diet Coke! Nothing can go wrong there!

All I know about her is that she famously gets around (which is good), but she cheated on her boyfriend (which is bad), but having said that it was only a Kardashian (which is good)... anyway I think the point is the frogurt contains potassium benzoate.

Every time some new 50SOG casting is announced, I go onto the fansites to see what they're saying. Current source of fury: Rita Ora is COMPLETELY THE WRONG HEIGHT to play Mia and this is a vital, meaningful part of her character which cannot be disguised on screen at all. They never disappoint.

Yeah, but they're reading from the American Journal of Shit That Backs Up Your Pre-Existing Prejudices. The peer review there is tight.

Although "disgraced Republican politician likes the wang" wouldn't be this big a news story, would it? You just assume it in their case.

It's so weird. I mean, "privileged" is the nicest, cuddliest euphemism for "bigoted" possible, and yet people still throw their toys out of the pram if they even think it's being applied to them.

I love that optimistic "volume 1".

Just one strong breeze away from Jedward.

Right. OK.

1) He didn't die 'for' street racing.

He didn't die as a result of street racing. You are aware that the Fast & Furious movies are not a fly-on-the-wall documentary following Paul Walker round in his everyday life, right?

Russell Brand and Kanye West in one Dirt Bag? Was there a Buy One, Get One Free sale on horrible, woman-hating bastards who we're inexplicably not allowed to dislike?

Like a lot of reasonably well-off people, he plays the hardscrabble child of poverty card so often to get people on his side that he's probably started believing it.

He also writes songs like 'New Slaves' while collaborating with Middle Eastern slave labour regimes and selling Confederate merchandise. And hijacked 'Strange Fruit' for a song about how bitches don't like you unless you've got money and that's just like lynching. Oh, but as the plot of the above-linked film…

That's a great point. Jews also do not tend to have ties that give them access to the Rothschild's billions.

Yes. Fuck. This. I'm so tired of the way Kanye frames every single debate - whether about money, class, race, success, fashion, culture, technology, anything - in the most myopic, materialistic, misogynistic way possible, and we're all supposed to stand up and cheer for him because, well, he's a genius, isn't he? …

Not a gif, but I couldn't resist:

I wish people would learn that satire has to be, you know, exaggerated. Putting up a site of completely mundane, plausible-sounding news and laughing when other people repeat it proves absolutely nothing other than the massive newsflash of "Most people don't have time to run a deep background check on every website…
