Yep, I think people misunderstand the concept of satire much like the word irony is tossed around; close, but not quite. Which is a shame since my absolute favorite form of comedy is a really sharp satire.

It is, but I promise it's worth it. Just book tickets quickly. Like, now. Shit sells out months ahead of time. In New York there's a 6-mo waiting time.

Exactly! By the way, if you haven't yet you should totally go see The Book of Mormon. Fucking hilarity.

The way I flirt with men and women is by being super friendly and smiling a lot and then reading it from there (sometimes not so successfully), so I'm probably not going to pass along really helpful advice because I'm pretty lousy at flirting :) But, the good news is, it's easy to be not-sexist by pretty much avoiding…

Er, I think he did, based on Lindy's comment... but anyway it doesn't matter, clearly we're all in agreement here. Which is why it's cute.

I see your point about the homeless episode and yeah, sometimes satirists fail but I think they generally have the right idea. I don't think it's all from a sense of altruism, either; I think satire that has a point just makes it even funnier (yes, funnier. dammit.) precisely because it's so clever.

Interesting point. As you say, even with the breasts=girls, there's a slightly different attitude towards it that with men and their dicks. "Girls" is more of a pet name and less outright anthropomorphism.

I agree. I thought this was a well-written article from him. Bonus points for all of the different ways he tied in hard and soft dick analogies.

"Women need to share the blame for being distracting, not shirk responsibility for dressing appropriately onto the poor teenage boy trying to focus in chemistry class."

I was going to write a reply to this guy but damn, you pretty much said it all and then some. Well done!

Heh, well if he missed the joke at least he's on our side ;)

I've found Family Guy to be super offensive and yet I've never been offended by South Park. Ever. Because Parker and Stone are brilliant satirists and McFarlane just makes jaw-dropping jokes and somehow gets away with it on shock value.

I would argue that South Park does this brilliantly, and Family Guy does not.

Really? I love this article because I thought I was the only one who found "Ted" to be super bro-heavy and misogynist and McFarlane is a complete sexist douche. Yes, Family Guy is funny at times but this guy pushes it a bit too far with his humor—makes you wonder.

That was my exact thought. I wonder how she felt about this... I wonder if in the back of her mind she was like, "hmm, this is a bit more bronzer than I expected; perhaps not such a good idea after all" or if it's so competitive she didn't give 2 fucks as long as she got the work?

Ugh that's got to be insanely frustrating. I hope things get better for you model gals of color; as an artist, I'd think that it would be cool to have a variety of ethnicities to play with as a canvas for a cool outfit, but what do I know. Maybe try alternative/indie stuff? Are they typically more open to women of…

To answer your clarification, I would be more turned off by hyper-manliness (traditional/stereotypical manliness) than if a guy were a slight bit effeminate. But, I hate football and I LOVE a man who knows how to dress really well and I will practically jump a guy with long hair so I actually like dudes who have their…

hahaha

Okay. Glad to know I'm not the only one; I can imagine exactly how your skin must have looked too because mine does the same thing! And then I figure, there's no way a little hair looks worse than rashy, red, swollen skin. I went out and bought a cheap razor that men use to trim their beards, works really well to keep…
