I will stop when Lars releases the long-awaited blooper reel, and not a moment sooner. These are my terms.

I know! That was actually my favorite part of the essay, because it demonstrates so clearly that having special needs doesn't preclude kids from forging their own identities and learning to navigate the world in ways independent of their parents/caregivers.

What they don't tell you is that the ice-sheets are breaking off in the Antarctic because CTHULHU STIRS IN HIS HOUSE IN R'LYEH.

PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN!!

That line was a clunker, but reading the article in full, I think Sinead was trying to say that while Miley may think she is innocently exploiting her own sexuality, in reality, a bunch of older men are really the ones exploiting her.

Yeah, I've come to this conclusion about the whole mess: if you listened to Nothing Compares 2 U on repeat for weeks after a breakup, she inhabits a tiny little part of your soul. If you missed out on that the whole thing must be a little mystifying. Now excuse me while I watch this agian and remember what it was…

Sigh. Science reporting at it's finest, amirite?

I like Miley and I'll always defend her right to do whatever she wants, no matter how crazy, as long as she is the one choosing, and not some lecherous sociopath

Jezzies, can the next Dirt Bag be about how I slept with Zac Efron? Please? I'll make up all sorts of stories and shit, it'll be fun!

There's a difference between not thinking Sinead is completely in the right (on the article about the first open letter, I was really bothered by the "your body is for you and your boyfriend" line — gag), and saying she's trying to get on Buzzfeed or this is a "publicity stunt." Those comments are the ones that reek…

If someone co-opted my art to create something that I considered an abomination of the principles which guided my art, I'd speak up too. Sinead shaved her head to subvert the expectation that she'd sell herself sexually as a female artist only to, twenty years later, watch someone who claims to be inspired by her…

Slut shaming? There's a difference between "Don't act sexual or you're a slut" and "You're being used by a giant corporate machine to make money off of your sexuality". Maybe we could save "slut shaming" for the former and call the latter "good advice".

If Tim Burton and HBC do not have an open relationship, I will eat my hat*. They've both had sex with Johnny Depp and we all know it!

As an aside, to get through these comments with my sanity intact I've decided that everyone accusing Sinead of trying to piggyback on Miley for attention must be Miley's age. You can't know even two things about Sinead O'Connor and believe that.

I remember when these photos came out last year. Another one showed some really short shorts. However, how do you go to the mirror before this event, look in the mirror and think, "nailed it!" THE EMPEROR HAS NO PANTS.

I thought Sinead was slut-shaming, too. "Behaving like a prostitute," I mean, c'mon. That said, Miley could have reacted with more class and left out Sinead's tweets from 2 years ago. Yes, Miley is young, but doesn't she have a publicist or something who could advise her....of course, that assumes she'd listen.

Smith live-blogged the induction of a bunch of original muppets donated by Jim Henson's daughter. I was all teary-eyed and getting choked up when they tweeted the pic of Piggy wearing the diamond. It immediately made me grin an reminded me that the last thing the father of the muppets would want is for his fans to be…

And Sinead has the most beautiful voice, and managed to get tons of attention by looking into a camera and singing...no antics, no theatrics, no overt/stereotypical sexuality. The Catholic priest sex abuse stories weren't really in the news in 1992, or at least weren't as well publicized as now in the US. She was so…

The only thing worse than Max Landis are the nerds who think he's god's gift to comic book movies.
