But, um, how would Justin Bieber's trainer really know? I'm assuming he's saying he's seen Justin naked, but even if he has, maybe he's a "show-er"?

If you don't think trying to cash in on 12 people's deaths in a shooting spree is crass, I'm not sure anyone can help you

I don't mind that she is tweeting solidarity with Charlie Hebdo, I'm upset that she's using it as an opportunity to shill for her new album. Especially after the embarrassingly crass twitter campaign she's been carrying out for her shitty goddamn album, with photoshopped images of people had no say in their images

When I was a kid, Seventeen magazine had something about "Madonna just got a belly-button ring, so now we all know belly button rings are no longer cool and edgy." That has been proven true again and again and again every since. She was on the edge of trends once, when she first got started. Trends she stole from

Dobie Gillis? Is that a crack about how terribly old she is? And we all know that when women get old, there is nothing redeeming left about them.

Proofreading is such a great thing.

This man became the leader of the free world because he wanted to "prove" to his family he wasn't a silver spooned ne'er-do-well. He put countless men and women in physical harms way, set back relations with other countries by decades, tanked the economy in this country and others, destroyed the housing market,

It is sad also a lot of Americans do think that Pakistan is located in the Middle East.

Yet another German with a terrible sense of humor.

Longer sentences don't mean jack shit if prisons aren't actually good about rehabilitating prisoners. Europe and Canada have very light sentences compared to the US, and much smaller prison populations (proportionately), and much "nicer" prisons, and yet recidivism rates are way lower.

Nah, that's not idiocy - that's malice and evil and all kinds of fucked up. But not idiocy.

IMHO, strike one was abusing women...

He's a fucking idiot. To show your employers pornographic videos to prove your innocence was strike one. Strike two was creating that bullshit Facebook post, and strike three was the frivolous lawsuit. You'rrrrrrrre out, Ghomeshi!

Out of curiosity, is Canada usually good about these sorts of things? Or are people surprised that he was actually arrested? I just want to know exactly how shitty I should feel about being an American right now.

Oregon always has a high turnout because they vote by mail. Smart Oregonians.

I've witnessed exactly what you're talking about - I have a couple of girlfriends who never cracked 5 feet. Do you find that people infantilize you? Do they take you seriously when you tell them that you don't want to be patted on the head or picked up?

I am a white woman, and I will most definitely agree that white men have harrassed me in the creepiest and most uncomfortable ways. I think their sense of entitlement and privilege is far higher, so they feel they can go further and get away with it. The story of him touching you makes me so angry, to act like thats
