I came here to say the same. It is not ok to criticize someone's body, plain and simple. But while "fat" and "skinny" criticisms are in the same wheelhouse, they are not the same. That's like saying that the N-word and "honkey" are equal racial epithets. Neither, when used offensively, is ok. But you have to…

Amazing. I borderline want this to happen to me.

A$AP Rocky, it's a testament to how ass-backwards hip-hop is about "the gay thing" that you call out Kanye as being progressive. He himself has said that he struggles with homophobia, that he wouldn't feel comfortable in a gay bar, and said that he had "issues" dealing with his (presumably gay) interior decorator. I…

Thank you for this. Everyone's Dirty fucking Harry in the hypothetical. Unfortunately, in reality, you're confronted with a whole other set of emotions.

Meagan, I admire your willingness to post this essay. The public is not largely educated in punitive vs. rehabilitative prison models and it's a very natural human impulse to be blind with rage in these situations and just want to demand that the guilty pay, and pay horribly. Really, that the guilty be victimized…

The problem with your stance isn't that it's not "political[ly] correct," it's that it doesn't work. Rehabilitative prison models are infinitely more successful than punitive ones. And while I think we all have a natural desire for vengeance, fewer rapes and rapists is a better goal in the long run.

They have a US site now, if my understanding is correct http://us.asos.com/?hrd=1&mkwid=ss1JvII3Y&pcrid=18414313483&plid=&kword=asos%20usa&match=e&WT.srch=1&affid=5787&r=2. And sorry, I didn't mean to be like, "As a Thin, I don't know what y'all are supposed to wear, but I know a fatty who..." I'm a chunk, I'm just…

A coworker of mine swears by Asos' plus stuff, and she's hella fashion savvy. She's always wearing something adorable and is like a 22-24.

I want this to be true so much. And for those concerned that Joe really is an unwitting participant in all this, it seems like the ideal cover story for him. He's long battled gay rumors, so this is the perfect way to establish him as hetero and still the good guy. After all, he didn't want this harlot with the…

Dear ftloose,

I feel about Katie Holmes singing the way I feel about Zooey Deschanel singing: Who in the name of Christ gave you the impression we're all clamoring for this? Or that you're good at it? My ears bled when I heard Zooey's cover of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want," on the (500) Days of Summer…

Several horses have collapsed and died here in New York. http://www.ny-class.org/

Have you ever heard him speak? Did you see him on SNL? He's hilarious and smart and incredibly charming. Also, he has a huge dong, but it's really secondary.

Can we call off these things now where civilians ask celebrities to go to a formal event with them and the celebrity is pretty much cornered because they'd be a troll to say no?

Kimye are considering naming their baby North. Which was Kanye's idea, and which I am ashamed to admit that would kind of LIKE, except for the fact that it would be "North West," and, I mean, guhhhh.

It's pretty tough to save $845 if you're working a low-wage job "just to survive." That's exactly what I was doing when I moved to New York and rarely had enough money to take my clothes to the laundromat, let alone able to sock away almost a grand in less than a year.

That's fair. The woman does refer to herself as a "victim" and this DeSanto as a "predator" and the tone seemed to imply that she was unwitting in the whole thing. But I didn't know about the other woman or the context of this piece, so I can see it a little bit differently with that knowledge.

So she has sex with him to get ahead, get money for food, believing that she'll win Miss California USA with his help. And then she doesn't win, is bitter that she slept with a bum from a tire shop and didn't even win, and this is her version of what happened.

Right, and where did the $845 she paid him come from, then?

No no no no no! WaPo doesn't even know the difference between i.e. and e.g.? (Flies into a blind grammar rage.)
