It's just asymmetric perspective. Unless you're constantly self-aware, you'll fall into the trap of categorizing others as types, while assuming you're much more complex and multi-faceted.

Because it mocks a dangerous misogynist stereotype.

"Or, get in on the ground floor of a self-made man. You and he work together to have the lifestyle that you both want."

I think "First Nations" is standard in Canada, but I've never heard it used in the US (except in reference to Canadian government policy.)

You have a problem with Marxist and Marxian cultural criticism?

So do they just not have Gmail in Virginia?

They're acting like Gawker hacked into the CIA and released these photos. They were released by the fucking White House!

Why would their password be *******?

Baio should re-release the album with the four squares as the cover. It's actually a more powerful statement than the original pixelated art. And I'd love to hear Maisel argue that the four squares are copyright infringement just because everyone knows they're "supposed to" approximate his picture.
