Am I the only one who has no clue, like literally zero clue, what Boy George is talking about?

@thesadtomato: Gosh, I really do love Franny and Zooey.

@confirmed spinster formerly angryyoungwoman: Why, thank you! You're hearted too! And yes, I didn't think I would get into The Blind Assassin — I think it was once Alex Thomas got introduced that I fell for the concept. Such an intricately-constructed book.

I just finished Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin and quite enjoyed it. Couldn't agree more with the Alice Munro tip-off, though: she's basically a god to me.

@chritter is a nocturnal feminist mancatfish: I was frissoning all over on that one. It a nice "let's expose this rotten industry once and for all" smack to it.

@thatgirlmay: Well, if my ex was publicly claiming he had footage of us having sex that I didn't know about, I'd be upset. If the split had been acrimonious, for example, I might feel that he had filmed us having sex without my knowledge. And that's kind of terrifying. So I understand Heidi's stance here, and fully…

@introverted_innovator: Ha! Same thought exactly.

@erinna: I think it's to do with the name as a brand. Song and album titles aren't copyrighted (I'm betting there's about a zillion called "I Love You" or variations thereon) but brand names are. So that's the issue. Silly, I know.

@drunkexpatwriter: The article specifically stated that a better alternative would be "I love curvy girls". It was the direct comparison with another type of "lesser" woman that made this offensive. Which was kind of mind-bogglingly clear, all throughout the piece. So, yeah.

@Sukie: Sea Gangster: That is beyond sweet! I love it.

Isn't blotting the one where you put a little piece of tissue between the lips to remove the excess? I know not.

@Tchotchke: This is the best thing I have ever read.

@ms.windupbird: Someone on this thread knows what Aha Shake Heartbreak is! Thank you.

@mova: In reference to these offers, Jared said: "We could have sold out so much more."

@TulipJefferson: Is this a joke because he suffered from anorexia as a teenager? Sorry to be all "not funny," but I'm not totally sure that's funny.

Now all you have to do is find all those thousands of guys who totally definitely want to have sex with you, by virtue of you having a vagina.

@Aesop's Foibles.: This is nothing to do with sharing or not sharing your opinion — I just find "low-class" offensive when used as an insult. Because, you know, I am low-class. And my parents worked hard for me, and they didn't smoke. Still, you have a right to say it, I just also have a right to tell you how I feel…

@MagImpalor is a god damn spy.: And yet there is nothing more freaking annoying than conservatives who say "So there's no women in government, so what? That's just like saying there's no people with green eyes in government, it's meaningless!"

@MagImpalor is a god damn spy.: Your hair is brown! Look at your eyes, they also have a colour! Har har har!

@scullymurphy: This:
