I’m pretty sure the family in the Funkytown story was Richard Heene, father of “Balloon Boy.”

I’m more offended by the fact that they don’t call them “small,” “medium,” and “large.” Have we all forgotten to be outraged by this? Their tall cups are short!

True, if you count Best Buy and Walmart’s web sites, the online deals were almost the same as the in-store deals. I thought you were referring to online-only retailers like Amazon, which were terrible. Most of the deals offered on Amazon were technically price-matches of things offered by Gamestop, Best Buy, and…

Except last year and the year before that, but otherwise yes, always.

Yes! I had that one at the beginning of this semester. I also frequently have a dream where I’ve forgotten to prepare the first day of class and have to go in and just wing it. Or even forgetting to write an exam!

The PS2 released a year after the Dreamcast, not a year before, and its software at launch was terrible. What a weird thing to lie about.

Yeah, but then Nintendo would have had to make a game for Wii U that wasn’t a 2D platformer. So you can see the dilemma.

I got 10 paragraphs in and then realized there were at least 100 paragraphs. Holy shit this article is long, especially considering the subject matter.

I’ve always found it surprising how generous internet commenters are to Harmonix and to Rock Band (over Guitar Hero). But I guess now I know why.

What the hell are you talking about? Kasdan wrote Return of the Jedi.

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the hotness of this take.

Anakin did not say that in Revenge of the Sith. Sorry.

I agree you can save some money by using public transportation instead of buying a car. (That’s exactly what I’ve done in my life, but I’m no longer poor.)

This might just be the old man in me speaking, but for me SNL was at its peak 25 years ago (when I was at the right age for it, I guess). I do not remember everyone obviously looking at the cue cards all the time. Sometimes the actors would actually look at each other!

I guess I’m also somewhat surprised that three car lengths of distance at 45-50 mph is considered “more than necessary.” I learned the rule of one car length for every 10 mph and still try to follow it (but of course every time I do someone decides “that’s plenty of room for me to squeeze in for no particular…

The Daily Show had exactly the same joke about how in the end all the Democratic contenders are going to support Hillary Clinton. I am voting for Sanders, but I think it’s still pretty unrealistic to think he will win the nomination. I want to be optimistic, but I was a Howard Dean supporter in 2003 (and he was much…

They all read straight from the cue cards. That’s how SNL has been for at least the past 10 years.

I am a big fan of Sanders and did not find it mean-spirited. Sanders himself seemed to enjoy it.

I went looking for the study and found this.

Yes, it’s amazing how many people are taking “20 mph under” as a fact when the video does not make that clear at all; it seems obvious to me that the filmer is speeding at the beginning of the video.
