Concur on all fronts—their marketing was shady as hell.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. This was my argument when Yasmin and its derivatives were the target of similar reporting/lawsuits a few years ago.

I think every kid needs something different—everyone responds to different incentives. I think things like iPads and smartphone entertainment should be items of last resort, though (largely for the reasons outlined in the article).

Word. My boyf potty-trained his toddler by buying her underpants and letting her experience trial-and-error for a couple of weeks, with no punishments or shaming for accidents. She got used to using the toilet right quick without needing any sort of digital entertainment.

Oh, that lip sync was filthy in the most delicious way.

I never heard of that rumor—was it attached to a particular contestant?

WHO WOULDN'T?

I've always wondered about this. My partner has children from a previous marriage that visit us a couple times a month, and when they're not with us (and even to some extent when they are with us and are cooped up inside due to weather, etc.) they spend INSANE amounts of time playing on computers, tablets, handheld…

I think very few professional settings care about whether or not interviewees are wearing makeup. At my workplace, we mainly just want to see someone who took the time to practice good hygiene/grooming habits (e.g. their hair is clean and combed, their face is washed, they aren't wearing chipped bright green nail…

Black market for breast milk? You don't say! Totally not a result of creating a cult of motherhood that shames mothers who can't/don't want to breastfeed, right?

My embarrassing admission is that I'm in love with the weird-flavored Oreos. Birthday cake? Sherbet? Watermelon? ALL OVER THAT.

I've been a workin' girl for the last 5 years or so, and I go home for both. It's a 1 hour flight each way (expensive as hell but still manageable), and it's the only time of year I really get quality time with my family. It's so tough for me to get time off any other time of the year to see them, so I will take what…

Ah yes, toxic masculinity at its best. Treats a woman—a stripper for that matter!—like a human being? Must be gay!

This is what concerns me—leafy greens are one of the leading causes of food poisoning outbreaks, just behind meat last time I checked (though it appears the rate is on the rise relative to those traced back to contaminated animal products). And they're only inspecting meat products?

Glad to know that you're coming out on the other side. Your ex sounds awful.

Did you date my ex? He used to tell me that he'd want to have sex with me more often if only I went to the gym. And then when I gained a bunch of medication-induced weight, told me that he was no longer sexually attracted to me because clearly I had let myself go.

Not to invalidate your point—I'm sure the opportunity was there for her and she probably did take advantage at some point or another—but maybe she was reticent to let her father make calls/connections on her behalf, well aware of how it would perceived?

Sometimes I have really bad breath in the morning?

I wouldn't be surprised if Erin did have an apology in there and JC stripped it out. I think Erin is one of the few writers for Jez that has a conscience about these things (based on what she Tweets), but ultimately JC's editorial discretion trumps the writers'.

I adore them. They seem so genuinely happy and FUNCTIONAL together. That and they just seem so madly in love with each other, how can you not feel a little warm and fuzzy about it?
