Me too! Although that was mainly because I never said or even thought the kind of godawful wrongheaded victim-blaming horseshit that Leslie Rasmussen is getting "over-zealously eviscerated" for, regardless of my age.

If every criminal investigation was approached with the skepticism and dismissive hostility directed at sexual assault victims, our entire legal system would disintegrate within a week.

I've known more than a few alcoholics/problem drinkers in my life (and according to my GP, I'm one of them). Surprisingly few of them ever tried using "But I was drunk!" as a justification for anything more serious than a shouting match or an awkward crying jag, and the ones who did all had one thing in common:

Is that what happened at the end of Mass Effect 3?

I read that quote and all I could think was "Oh man, just wait until you try to play your next gig."

Fair enough, although I'd argue that all of those people had vastly more popularity and influence (and money) than Rasmussen does, and thus were able to resolve their legal issues and protect their careers. Which is a profoundly fucked-up aspect of the American legal system that definitely needs to be addressed, but

I must know! Dish!

It's been a surprisingly long time since I went lightheaded and dizzy with pure, overwhelming rage, but reading those two paragraphs did the trick.

I think everybody who watched that scene spent at least a few hours wondering if they had a latent snake and/or foot fetish. Such is the power of late-90s Salma Hayak.

Am I supposed to remember which actress/fictional character I first felt actual pubescent lust towards? Because it seems like everyone I know remembers except for me. My favorite was an ex of mine who realized she was bisexual at age 11 or so after watching the scene with Uma Thurman as a mermaid in The Adventures of
