When will people learn that new formats fail or succeed based on their adoption within the porn industry? Like it or not, porn drives a ridiculous amount of tech innovation. Just ask Sony about Betamax, or the HD-DVD people.

Unless you’re white. Then it’s a racial slur. And, as a white guy, I am totally ok with that double standard. Words have meaning informed by the weight of history and it will only stop being a racial slur when white people say it when we invent a time machine and erase slavery from the history of the nation.

I’m black, and I’m perfectly fine with the double standard regarding who can and cannot say nigga. White people are going to have to let that one go.

Next week: Craig Finn on the Twins, Minnesota high school hockey, and hoodrats.

Fold the slice in half like you're goddamn supposed to and maybe it wouldn't be so hard to eat.

What kind of comedy do you like? Also, neither of these shows really fall into that category — The Office would be cringe humor and Family Guy is probably the best example of random humor.

Parents with kids in strollers are a threat to air travel everywhere. Stay home.

I miss Terriers. I loved that show.

Word is that Scott became the team pariah after giving a detailed interview to some guy that runs his own Wyvern blog. Luke even got the dude a pass to the stadium and spoke on the record about teammates while sitting in the team locker room.

The Koreans have had this down pat for some time now.

He longs to go there so he can bless the rains.

Pffffbbbtt. That's what a fart noise sounds like.

As a southerner, reading this just made me tear up. You just.... You just don't do this....

Does that come with a side of kale and boring stories about your time backpacking in South America?

Oh, you don't make your own coconut flakes?

Amen! I don't have time to buy whole, fresh coconuts direct from Tahiti. The shavings in a bag will have to do, lady. Don't treat me like I just clubbed a baby seal.

Listen, I know she caters to a specific market, and that's fine. I know she lives a fairy-tale life in the Hamptons, and that's fine. But the condescension dripping in her voice when she tells you that she always makes her own chicken stock, but you can use canned if you need to, she supposes. UGH!
