Not to mention - the "Whore of Babylon" is a misogynist projection of women in the bible itself. It's a fictional character originally created to represent all women and how evil they are (except for the Virgin Mary), so using that fictional representation as a "monster" you get to kill in your show is no less…

Wow you dodged a bullet on the Crystal-Blue. I assume that was meant to be "Crystal Blue Persuasion" the Tommy James and the Shondells song, but...

Really? I would think the mythology would rule that one out, especially from your Dad. I'd be kinda pissed if my dad suggested that.

Planned Parenthood

I think any column like this needs to start out by defining what you mean by "diverse." Your addressing specifically ethnic diversity, but LGBT representation and people with disabilities are not addressed in the article. And although women are not a minority, their under-representation on television and in film by…

That is the exact reason why I'm terrified of dogs too. Got chased by a German Shepard as a kid. I sympathize with your son.

As a vadge-lovin' feminist, I've always felt incredibly welcome on Jezebel by all the dick-lovin' gals. I certainly think of them 'real, strong, independent modern women.' Because 'real, strong, independent modern women' don't hate on the gays.

The best female runners have an advantage over other women. Should we hobble them, too? Where do you draw the line at keeping women confined to a certain low level of ability?

No, we thought your joke was moronic because you were basing it on bullshit.

Heather Hogan has discussed the lesbian subtext in Anne of Green Gables in several articles for Afterellen.com. Interesting stuff.

I think the lines are drawn by the courts pretty much, but I don't have the links to specific rulings right at hand to help with detail. I have a bookmark folder full of copyright legal guidelines at home. I think you're right about money changing hands having a lot to do with it, but I think there is also some level…

Is the first dude making money from the sketches? Rogen might have some sort of financial claim against him for use of his image. But it would have to be settled by a court, not by "my friend will nullify your potential legal issue by doing something illegal in return."

Ah! Sorry; I'm handicapped by not being able to click through due to being at work. Didn't want to open a NSFW pic and get in trouble.

Pretty sure that *is* how art works, though. I haven't clicked through to see the comparisons, but if they're close enough that people think "where have I seen this before?" then yeah, it's copyright infringement. Here is some more info on the copyright related to paintings:

In the future when television and the internet are more integrated, weather alerts will appear on screen but link you over to coverage of the storm, so you can find out info about dangers without interrupting the show if the weather doesn't apply to you.

Celebrities are not Gods. They're just people. Often they are assholes. Fame is not a sign that a person is more worthy / valuable / exciting / good to know than anyone else. Fame is just a whimsical mother-fucker who confers public attention on people in a rather haphazard fashion.

The movie "Going All The Way" also stars Ben Affleck in a uniform, on the chance that you haven't seen it. It's supposedly not very good, but hey - Pearl Harbor didn't win any Oscars. Except for music and stuff, and that doesn't count. :)

I popped into the article specifically to find the thread referencing JimmyJane. I assumed someone would already post one before I got to it. :)

I have a alternative "real" laugh for when I'm laughing at something that I'm not supposed to think something is funny, which is a "hm hm hm" under my breath. My sister called me out on doing it once, because she noticed it sounds exactly like my grandpa when he used to do the same thing.

Had the fried Kool-Aid last year at the Indiana State Fair. Tasty. Only ate one tho - we shared among 6 people. As you do at the fair, because Death.
