So. Gross.

I love this feature, but I don't think you should worry about spoilers. If I haven't read the book, I want to know the spoilers, because I know I'm not going to read the book now, and I like reading your full analysis without dancing around plot points. Maybe if you included a warning it would be better? But I…

Ugh. I think these best and worst comments reinforce the nasty queen-bee attitude more than anything. It's not that stupid to suggest that Japanese are ethnically Korean, it's just not quite worded correctly. While purists want to say it ain't so, Japan broke off from Korea way back in the day and Japanese people…

I haven't watched The Simpsons regularly for a few years, but this is one of the things that bothered me about the new episodes I saw. I know Lisa is smart and wise beyond her years, and we accept it because it's a cartoon, but she's still supposed to be a little girl. She's eight, she plays with Malibu Stacy, and…

The kids obviously have psychological problems. My sister works at a children's home for kids with behavioral problems, and this is basically the exact kind of stuff they do. They have a room for meltdowns, and the kids destroy the rooms and engage in blood and feces smearing, which it looks like the little one was…

Did anyone see Revenge of the Nerds when Louis had sex with Betty, the hot cheerleader in the space room at the carnival and he was wearing the Darth Vader mask the whole time and posing as her boyfriend and only revealed himself after the deed?

I cried about three times in a year and a half on my last job, and I worked at an all-female office in Japan. It was especially humiliating because I hate crying in public, but also there are all these stereotypes about emotional foreigners, but it was a really dramatic, stressful place to work. Of course, there…

In the UK, most if not all school kids wear uniforms, so it's objectifying school girls in general, not just Catholic school girls.

Oh, and "The Accidental Tourist" is both a movie and a book. Gina Davis and Michael Keaton (?) I think. I haven't partaken in either.

My mom totally told me to sleep without underwear to air out, too! I wonder if it's a generational thing. I mostly did whatever I wanted about it growing up, but now I'm ultra conscious of vaginal health (thank you, vulvodynia). Last night I was watching ANTM with my boyfriend, and when I saw them put on those beef…

@BiscuitDoughJones: Interestingly, my favorite Barbies were always the ethnic ones. The blondes were usually the bitchy friend of the swarthy heroine of the sexy adventures.

@ShoplifterOfTheWorld: Seriously. "Sweet and innocent"? As a perverted little kid, Barbie was my porn. There were endless storylines and combinations, sexy adventures a big-titted blonde could have while I was trapped in a child's body.

@marie123: Word. I hate Janice. All she did was call the girls fat and wallow in her own ego and self-importance. She was also completely fickle in a really unstable, crazy way, both in her criticism and on the personal level, like when she went off on Gina in cycle 6. Overall, she's just a nasty person.

Weird. I was spanked as a kid, and sometimes it was pretty traumatic. As a result, I think spanking is the opposite of sexy, because I can't help but connect it to a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and, oh yeah, MY PARENTS. I thought being into spanking was more for people who hadn't really experienced it. …

@3cardkitty: Also, I'm sure hundreds of better written screenplays already exist, and most of them won't ever be made either.

@3cardkitty: Nope. Why write a screenplay that will never be made? I prefer writing plays anyway.

I agree people are being way more harsh to her than they would be if she were a man, and that sucks hardcore. I was so ready to love Juno, but when I watched it, I was struck by how TERRIBLE the writing was. Seriously, the writing was the worst part of the movie for me. I'm sort of a writer, and for a second I…

Ever since flushing tampons seriously fucked up the pipes of the first house I rented, I've been throwing them away. You might say that tampons are so much smaller than, uh, "human waste", but the difference is that said waste breaks down, as does toilet paper, and tampons remain wads of cotton that sit in your pipes…

Oh, god. This thread really upsets me. It's just like a pro-ana discussion minus the encouragement to stay strong and avoid the food because nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Since we know that even smart, independent women like us are vulnerable to doing stupid shit to be thin, don't you think some of us might…

@rsr26: Just to make things clear, Japan has a HUGE self-defense army. It's basically like any other army, except they aren't allowed to take any offensive military action, and the people who are in it really are the best and brightest, rather than at-risk youth. And there are bases throughout regular Japan too,…
