@JinxyMcDeath: I KNOW. I was looking at people's comments, saying things like, "well, so and so is more in the right because..." and seriously, both parties are being so ridiculously immature that there's no point in analyzing anyone's potential argument. I thought I was going crazy, that this series of events could…

@inabook: Don't forget black people. Remember a few years ago when PETA ran that ad depicting a lynched man hanging from a tree with a side by side comparison to a cow hanging at a slaughterhouse? Not fucking cool. It almost seems like PETA targets marginalized groups because they think everyone will understand…

@cassiemajestic: That was actually one of my thoughts after reading the last line about Caucasians—that Iranians also fall under the "caucasian" classification. It can't be easy for all those people from different parts of the world to consider themselves white their whole life, and then have Americans and Europeans…

@Alienbean: Actually, I'm really impressed when I see bits like this where Americans use totally natural English and Europeans can understand everything. In Asia it's a completely different ballgame. Even when I was speaking to Japanese teachers of English, I was totally accustomed to speaking in the simplest way…

@hacienda51: I've been to Kyoto twice and never seen a geisha. They're very shy, anyway, and don't like their pictures taken. I was probably there at the wrong time. I did see a couple in gion in Fukuoka when I wasn't even expecting it, though.

@zakkagirl: I KNOW! When they started showing pictures of subways in Mexico with people wearing face masks, I was like, wow, it looks like ANY GIVEN TIME in Japan!

@mbot in ... Hushed Rapings: I grew up in Cedar Rapids, and I was definitely a fan of Iowa City in high school. Not so much in college though, because I'd always be visiting friends that went to U of I and I'd end up seeing all the fratty douchiness (my friends were NOT part of it). Now I'm in Minneapolis, which I…

@Miss. Money-Sterling: I LOVE MANGOSTEEN!

I grew up with nature, and I HATE mice. I get on chairs, sometimes I cry, but I usually whimper "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod, someone get it!" I used to make fun of my mom for the exact same thing, then I had a series of traumatic mouse incidents as a young teenager when there was a mouse infestation in my bedroom wall. …

@Heydiddler: Papa's Mustache in the Third: I would say a resounding NO, but it looks like there are some differing opinions here. It's the first thing I noticed about this picture, and my reaction was "Oh no she di'int." To me, it's like socks and sandals.

@greengrey: I took it that Tyra was referring to Paris and Nicole as 5th Ave socialites, not just frenemies. It made sense in her head at the time.

@Nancy Lorenz: WHOSE CAT IS THAT??? Where are they??? I know, I'm weird, but I thought Tracie didn't have/like cats. Most logically, it would be her fiance's cat, but I need a name and backstory. Also a picture with it wearing a monocle and a tophat.

@WaterTart: Seriously. Regardless of whether or not this ad is for a skin whitener, I'm honestly a little offended that people see Asian advertisements in Asian countries for skin whiteners and proclaim it racist, promoting a caucasian beauty ideal. That's awfully Eurocentric. I used to live in Japan, and for the…

@lisomiso: I didn't catch all of it, but they were basically like, "What's this? It's a camera. Whose is it? It's probably a customers. Someone must have forgotten it. Blahblahblah."

Aw, a lot of people do this. I was hoping it was my friend's video, which is still my favorite because not everyone notices the camera and you get to glimpse into the booths rather than everyone just staring into the camera and saying, "Huh? A camera?"

Thank you, thank you, and welcome back!

Ugh, fashion really is getting increasingly depressing for me. I like clothes, I can look at these outfits and appreciate them, but I know that they'll never be for me because they're only for people who are very thin. With most of the outfits on that site, if you added thirty pounds to the girl (technically making…

In Japan, women pretty much always wear a full face of makeup to work, especially if they work in a service or professional job. And by full face, I mean the works, down to eyebrow pencil and curled eyelashes. Actually, I heard some women say that it's rude to leave your house without makeup on, though I saw some…

@kickingthecrap: I knew someone else must be repping MN. With the windchill it was something like -40 in Minneapolis yesterday, and for the past couple of days while I'm driving, my breath freezes around the inside of all my windows, making my car an impenetrable ice fortress, so I had to keep pulling over and…

@marvel girl: I did too! I was all, what's "fake rape", and why is the image of the rapping scene from Teen Witch?
