If you'd like to chat more about this, I would love to hear about it: anna.merlan@jezebel.com

even if the trademark thing requires her to issue cease & desist's she should maybe try to not fucking trademark shit that isn't hers

I just can't believe both the flippant (and somewhat [though I'm sure unintentional] non-sequitur-ial tone of this article [pretty sure South Africa has a set of social traumas outside the Bushes and Jenny McCarthy) and the already long stack of comments condoning physical violence and vigilante justice in this…

rambo w a woman? would watch.

oh no he could barely get a few words out but we shook hands!

i knew his grandson Zimhle when he was in med school here - like overseas study for a semester? we were in the city for a friend's wedding & started talking again. he said he was visiting his grandpa tomorrow & i was welcome to come with him. & i was like U FUCKING WIT ME BRO? & turns out he was not.

It's not insane per se but it was the coolest thing ever! I've been chronically ill since 4. Loads of kidney problems, autoimmune disorders, etc. A lot of pain. A lot of sleepless nights. That's how I got into old movies. If you're in pain & awake at 4am TCM is the only thing on. I LOVE old movies. I pray to Bogart &…

He also doesn't want to win a Grammy over Beyoncé, saying, "She deserves it way more than I do. I'd be embarrassed if I got it over her. If I got it, I'd give it to her."

I think I speak for everyone when I say that the only suitable punishment for making an ignorant mistake is losing all of your good fortune and having it be dispersed amongst Internet commenters, none of whom have ever been ignorant or asked forgiveness in their entire lives.

"there should be male orgasm face"

Yuck, I'm not a feminist! I just reap the benefits of feminism.

Oh I absolutely think she has some mental issues that need to be addressed. That can't be denied. I feel really bad for her and I hope she gets the help that she needs. It must be incredibly scary for her. And jail really isn't the place to rehabilitate.

Please continue to put words into my mouth that I've not said at all. Please. Go ahead and distort everything I said so you can feel better about your closeted bigotry. Everyone else has. Join in on the fun.

I generally agree with you, but I think that contributions to her story that make people feel that she is sick are 1. that she was engaged four times in the past few months (clearly unstable) and 2. that her parents reported her, thus making it clear that she wasn't raised in an environment that would lead to…

No it's not. The ends is not what is at issue here. The issue I am raising is the perception people have of a white convert girl, versus the perception of an Arab man. One is instantly vilified and the other gets the benefit of the doubt, sympathy even.

Did you finish my post? I am Muslim. This is how other people treat me when they find out I am Muslim. It is not how they treat people I know to be converts. The reaction converts get are "But why?!" as if they made a mistake, and maybe the convert might realize that and change their minds.

I don't know if I can agree with this. I guess, like most crimes, it seems like it'd make more sense to suspend the sentences with the requirement she do things like get counseling, do community service, etc.

I can really see this discouraging parents from reporting their children. I can't see it doing jack shit for…

There with you. ;-)

Oh wait, I just saw. Her great, great grandmother was Swedish. Man, they are really reaching here!

And just think how much photoshop goes into Vogue. And they end up with this???
