Capitalism isn't some omniscient being. It's a system that is propagated by businesspeople who don't always understand how to sell to traditionally under-represented markets. And because people in those markets don't see items marketed to them, they don't buy. It's a vicious cycle, but it's pretty silly to ignore the…

Madonna is using ALL THE FILTERS.

The only thing that makes me feel better about how hateful LeAnn and Eddie are to Brandi is that she is also the worst. There are no winners here.

This is what I think, too. He was probably cheating on her before the ink was dry on their marriage license (if he waited that long). I'm betting that he's just going to get so blatant about it that the embarrassment over having a husband who won't hide his straying will outweigh her (very correct) belief about the…

He is so smarmy that I can't even find him handsome. I don't tend to care about celebrity scandals, but I'm going to be all over it when she finds out that he's cheating on her.

Sorry Zachary Quinto's eyebrows, but nobody should have to be photographed next to the hotness that is Matt Bomer. It's just not fair.

Of course I judge what people read. They can read it, I can judge it. [Anything is open to criticism, including other people's criticism.] I'm also willing to make a distinction between things that I personally don't enjoy reading and books that are just not good. I do think it's completely ridiculous to make such…

Book women? Or, in my case, library directors. Reading is vital to my mental health, and I'd still read a ton even if I wasn't a librarian.

We definitely shouldn't discount the idea that he's turned on by that, but there's also the fact that 1) some disrobing must occur for pooping to happen (even if it's just underwear being taken off underneath a dress or skirt and 2) the person performing doing the disrobing isn't aware of the camera - that's a huge…

There are some really poorly written things out there in all genres. There are some YA books that I'd pit against the best literature aimed at adults, and there are some YA books that I can't believe anybody thought was worth publishing and/or reading. I definitely judge people for their choice of books, but I'm not…

Holy HTML fail, Batman...

This woman is a moron. Authors write books, and publishers decide how to market them. When books feature teenage or adolescent protagonists, they're most often called young adult, regardless of whether that's the intended audience. Also, people who espouse this opinion need to keep in mind that if <em>To Kill a…

Maybe his stuff isn't to her taste. It's great that Tadashi Shoji is doing this, but other designers need to pull their heads out of their asses and do the same. Designers do a lot of custom stuff for celebrities come awards season and for premieres, so it's not as though there's no precedent for a designer to…

I used to live in Teaneck, NJ, whose zip code is 07666. It only happened twice, but while confirming my address over the phone with Southern call center workers, the CSRs were incredulous and then horrified that that my zip code ended in 666. "Can't they fix that?" one asked me. Never change, ignorant people. (Just…

Yeah, I appreciated that while they're getting the dance right, I didn't find their movements inappropriate for their ages.

I think that designer shit is pretty stupid anyway, unless there's a demonstrable increase in quality that accompanies the name, but designer gem jewelry is bonkers. The only thing I find brand name engagement rings useful for is avoiding anybody who says, "And then he got me a Tacori!" Hard pass.

Outstanding.

I have complicated feelings on couples asking their friends and families to finance a honeymoon. If you want to take the trip, you should be able to pay for it without your loved ones' assistance. While almost everybody does give a wedding gift, it's important to remember that gifts are optional. This feels the same…

Exactly what I came here to say. If your god is using your body to indicate that it's time to pack it in, who are you to use outside measures to supersede those wishes?

Her kids are going to love reading that in 15 years, but the rest of what she's doing is laudable. Way to turn an interest into a positive for others. There are lots of physical hobbies that can lead to physical problems down the road (contact sports, running, gymnastics, etc) that don't seem to engender the same…
