Which mob of young people forced the publisher’s hand?

Why would publishing this memoir be more beneficial to the publisher than choosing to avoid dealing with the lost money from bad PR and having to replace a significant number of their employees? 

Oh man. I’m gonna buy a jet ski!

Alex Trebek has been a foundational piece of my life for so long now. I started watching it and playing along most every day in jr high, but it really became a daily fixture when I was dealing with a chronic illness in my teens that mostly kept me out of high school. I’m now in my 30s and it feels really special that

It would be pretty simple. Set up the shot, hit record, act at the camera, hit stop, and then send that shit without watching it.

I would pay $11 to see that. 

I think he’s actually Italian. I don’t know how Kirk feels about that. 

Is that the movie where Mark Wahlberg played a guy named Melvin?

Being a mediocre actor who is now getting to be too old to rely on their good look overshadowing the mediocrity also doesn’t help.

Flav has been using backing tracks for live performances for quite a while now. Fans won't be missing much. 

Flav can’t even point to his musical contributions to the group anymore. Any time he’s performed with them in the past 15ish years has involved the bulk of Flav’s exclamations/interjections being played by a backing track. 

Cool. I might see it. I am generally more comfortable with thrillers. 

“How scary is it? I’m kind of a wuss;”

I feel you. This is a question I always end up asking when I read a horror review. Is this recommendable for a person who somehow managed to have nightmares after watching The Witch? 

In reality, Sheeran was only half Irish. 

“...everyone else treats him like ‘this big dumb idiot”

People treat me like I wear a size 9 1/2 shoe. It makes sense. 

“I think that lately, the tone of the Newswire has been a mish-mash of snark and then earnest outraged concern that only highlights the contributors’ own biases.”

The fundamental issue is that this site doesn’t generate enough revenue to pay skilled writers with nuanced perspectives. 

In response the creator indicated that he wasn’t comfortable depicting the specific real acts of trauma that people experienced at Auschwitz and felt symbolic representation was sufficient to provide viewers access to the emotional reality.

Bro, if you have to euphemize genocide, maybe you should pick a different

That new Cattle Decapitation leans a little too prog for my tastes. I really loved how they engaged their more 90s Death Metal influences on The Anthropocene Extinction. I can see why Rosa might like them. She does love animals and hates people. 

It was you. I liked that comment. 

There isn’t a non-disgusting way to say, “No orifice would be off limits with Melissa Fumero,” so I probably should have just said, “If she wanted it, she could get it.” That’s unfortunate.  

This comment chain is a compelling argument for the AV Club to revive the weekly We See What You Did There feature.
