"Minority programming" like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Sleepy Hollow, Elementary, or The Walking Dead, all of which have multiple characters of color...?

You don't seem to be taking into consideration how Nielsen ratings work.

Did you mean Jonah Hill has been nominated for more Oscars? Because by my count all three of those guys have won zero oscars.

Why?

Tell your boyfriend you don't want to hang out with her anymore. She sounds like The Worst. How is the rest of the group not already annoyed by her behavior? I say be straight with them - "Look, I have to be honest with you guys, I'm tired of Becky's inappropriate behavior with guys. I've seen her flirt with all…

Honestly, the older I get, the less tolerance I have for that kind of shit. She's not a good friend, she's not someone you need to be around. Cut her out, and make it clear to your mutual friends why you're doing it. If they're smart they'll cut her out too.

In a broad sense, yes. I shant bore everyone with the ins and outs of TV ratings and how viewers do and do not translate to advertising dollars. I understand your overall point though.

That's not quite right. Ads are sold based on the number of people who watch the show Live + the 3 days after air (so yes, DVRs/Tivos are counted in ratings and in ad sales). And advertisers don't "assume" anyone is watching the ads - they count who is watching the ads. They don't pay for people who fast forward…

I liked it - I found it a pretty quick read. As someone else mentioned, it is pretty gritty, so skip if you're not into that kind of stuff.

In the book, people around him can see the horns but don't really register it as something wrong or out of place, and then forget about them as soon as he's gone. They kind of put the people around him into a bit of a trance.

The only thing I remember was there was a handsome young student who was flirting with her, and he cornered her at one point and tried to make a move. She rebuffed him, but there was all this tension and energy between them. As a 10 or 11 year old I just remember thinking it was so scandalous and sorta exciting but…

This really bothers me too. I actually looked up some age equivalent actress/actor romantic pairings. Prepare to be icked:

Yeah, most tall women, but not models-turned-actresses. They tend to be the exception to the tall broad lady rule.

Was Catwoman WB? I'm genuinely asking, I'm not good with those things. But if it was, it seems like they're even, and they just both need to start agreeing to make good female superhero movies.

Nothing "causes that." People who cohabitate before marriage probably have higher divorce rates because many very religious people who are against living together as an unmarried couple are ALSO against divorce. Doesn't mean they're any happier. Correlation =/= causation.

Solange kicked and hit Jay Z several times, with other people present, and then they both walked away. An NFL player beat a woman unconscious and dragged her out and put her on the floor. Just because both incidents took place in an elevator doesn't really mean they're comparable.

Did it occur to you that she married him anyway and maybe defended him to the NFL because she's fucking terrified of him?

NBC brass supposedly offered Kristen the lead in Peter Pan (the follow up they chose after Sound of Music), but she had to decline because she's pregnant. She would've been a great choice, though.

His name is not that hard. At all. And Google is everyone's friend. He has several Tony Awards and a Grammy for the Broadway show In the Heights and is nominated for a couple of Emmys this year.

This was my thought too. They closed all of their stores last month! Paris, you're wearing something that was out of style 7 years ago!
