yes yes yes @ashleypants.

For a kid, if this had cost 1/20th of the cost—about 5000 dollars—the experience would have been pretty similar. It would not have been as grand for the internet—the real heroes here!—but the kid would have played batkid, hung out with batman and some city officials, saved the day, and had a (smaller) group of fans.…

I have to admit, I winced when I saw that price tag. On the one hand, the look on this kid's face almost made me cry, and it was so amazing to see how happy he was.

Remember when this was the same exact reaction people had to Britney stripping down for "Oops..." back in 2001?

Not trying to sound snarky or like a bitch, but why do you hang out here then? Is it a hate read thing? I run screaming from places that piss me off, but I am of delicate mind and try to not get too worked up (I fail, a lot). Again, not trying to run you off or say "like it or GTFO".

Dodai, can you please do this every week and add your own commentary under each picture? I will pay you in page hits.

Some of these are not selfies but I needed a good headline and didn't think people would be pedantic about it.

This evidence how feminism today is only catered to a certain class of women. So women actually appreciate their education and don't see it as an excuse to just party.

I'm so sick and tired of this conversation. I've never posted on an article like this before, precisely because I think it's fucking ridiculous (girls have to have a reason to behave "badly", while men are expected to? Give me a break). But, for the sake of my own sanity (and the sanity of all others who feel…

What the shit is with all these motherfucking trolls on this motherfucking site today?! And why are all these shitbirds getting out of the grey, but I and other commenters way awesomer and around here longer than me aren't? Didn't Lindy just write an article about how shitty these jagholes are? Where the fuck are they…

Marry me, Lindy. I'm in Cali so it's totes okay to have a gay wedding. Also, we can have sex with the cake afterwards, but not only will it have the image of the arrest on it, it will also have a cake topper. Plus CAKE.

Well, don't feed them on Gawker so we can keep them in the gray.

So long ago dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Here is how it should be done:

You know, Dodai, a Jez article hasn't made me stop and think as much as yours just did in quite a while. I try really hard to examine and check my privilege throughout my daily dealings, but it wasn't until about halfway through your article that I really got it. So thank you for being clear, measured, and nuanced…

DON'T JUDGE ME BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT.

I don't agree with most of Peta's marketing techniques. The objectification of women, fat-shaming, etc. are pretty AWFUL. I have NO PROBLEM criticizing those methods.

I can kind of understand why people are upset about the Holocaust comparison, but at the same time, this seeming reluctance (I am speaking as a vegan here, forgive me) to link different forms of oppression is strange to me. In my view, the systematic murder of *any* species is wrong - evil, even. Please don't yell at…

I've got to say I'm with PETA. Every movement needs the hardcore zealots who aren't afraid to shake things up. It is wrong to cause animal suffering on the scale that we do, and no one seems to be doing much about it except PETA and PCRM. If the poster and all you commenters could say with a clear conscience that…
