They ooze schmaltzy sentiment until you drown in its saccharine over abundance of moral messagery, hammering it into your brain as tentpegs of mediocre empathizing. I don't hate all of their work, far from it, but they've made a heady descent into the annals of boring the shit out of me of late. Apart from Tintin.

You are absolutely cock-on. While I appreciate some of the other comments along the line of "it's a big deal to some women" (and in the US, abortion seems to be turning into a logistical nightmare for most women), for my entire life any discussion or article about abortion has always been prefixed with "it's the…

My proposal for the second ever 'abortion rom-com' involves three women who meet in at a crisis pregnancy center and have to use their combined skills and wits to escape. With the nearest abortion clinic hundreds of miles away, they decide to pool resources and embark on a wacky road trip. Unlikely friendships and…

I'm always convinced this is what's going to happen to me when I try to stealthily walk into Sephora simply to touch up my makeup without buying anything. They totally know what I'm doing, don't they?

Wait, you don't just do it every day? I thought we were supposed to do it every day.

Gross explanation by medical student:

The first quarter of Juno was all about her debating if she should have an abortion. And there was comedy involving the Planned Parenthood-esque worker.

I don't understand how Brad Pitt forgot to pack a tie to a wedding at his house.

That guy is a skeevy creep. That article is horrifying.

One of the books I read when I was about 15 or 16 featured a character that decided to get an abortion, and it was dealt with in such a matter-of-fact way that it actually surprised me a bit. A few humorous bits along the way, and the only character that did some overdramatic handwringing was called out on the…

brittany's family makes me super uncomfortable :/

Ew, what a creep. There's a million legitimate reasons to get mad at a movie about your daughter's addictions and death, but "the actress isn't hot enough to play my daughter" isn't one of them.

I feel bad for the lead. Poor girl is just looking for a break/ paycheck and ends up being called a mockery of another actress's good looks.

You CAN care, you just don't want to. Just keep feeling sorry for yourself and dressing like shit. It's not Slut-Shameless's problem.

Go to the thrift store and buy some goddamn jeans for $2.00. She's not talking about spending thousands of dollars. You can give a crap about proportions and your personal style while still buying at thrift stores. Women do it everyday. Finish fucking reading things before you jump on your huffy bike.

This exactly. I wish I had paid more attention to the way I dressed when I was younger, I bet I would've been much more confident. It wasn't until I hit my 30's that I realized I needed to take a good look at my clothes and how they fit. I threw out so much and bought simple, easy pieces that I can mix and match. …

Apparently I am heartless because I don't think this was offensive in the slightest. The timing's somewhat unfortunate, sure, but the headless horseman is a huge part of the Ichabod Crane story, which is a teensy tiny bit older than ISIS. Also, it's not like beheading is so extremely rare that everyone would have…

Agreed. I think it was more unfortunate than thoughtless.

I would say you are right, except that the insurance company will actually get the ring in exchange for the payment. The ring will then be cleaned and resold.

There's a "ring" joke in there somewhere - but I ain't gonna touch it.
