Not to take possibility #6 and make things even worse, BUT...what if the ghost truck recurs, and the farmhand was the ultimate in wrong place/wrong time, and lynched completely by mistake?

This is Tripod. Their 2010 show, Tripod vs. the Dragon, is like what would happen if Joss Whedon and Julie Taymor made love on a pile of Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks and had a geeky baby. The fact that they're not as well known in the USA as Jonathan Coulton or Weird Al Yankovic makes me very sad. And they're…

I remember that! He was shocked to find the racism was so specific that people he was talking to would casually say things like "It was a nice neighborhood before those fucking Lebanese moved in."

That's live-action model and Emmy-winning creator/producer/writer of Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs Sherri Lynn Stoner, btw.

Jezebel would like to welcome its new readers who stumbled upon this article as the result of a very, very special Google search.

Yes, this. I think this is why I reacted to the "300 Sandwiches" story with so much visceral disgust...he's been awake for 15 minutes, isn't even out of bed, the drool's still damp on the pillow, and now he wants to bring a food item with mayonnaise into the equation??

While I agree with Ellen Pompeo's larger point, "There weren't enough people of color dancing for our entertainment" is not a critique one hears very often (outside of ballet and Riverdance.)

It's a horrible photo but Gregory's Girl is actually a very sweet, funny film by Bill "Local Hero" Forsyth that gave teen-Oaken a lifelong crush on people with Scottish accents. It makes me sad to see it lumped in with Blubberella.

Ugh, yes. At least they didn't pull the "it was a social experiment!" excuse.

To be fair, I feel bad for all those idiot kids whose tweets are posted at www.helpmesave300.com . Maddie Kennedy could be a lifesaving nurse, but now whenever her name gets googled all people will see is her "I wish the first party didnt get busted. Cause that shit coulda got so much bigger!" tweet and know beyond…

Red Sox fans know the full verse of that Standells song actually goes "Love that dirty water (when it's in someone else's stadium)"

500 acres of wilderness, including wetlands and a pond? And they're telling kids to run, run, RUN away through the woods at night from adults who mean them harm? Setting aside the emotional trauma for a moment, it's just a miracle they don't lose a kid or two each year.

But if you don't leave on the rind, you don't have any little nooks and crannies for the melted butter and salt to cling to!

I'm picturing weekly tributes to London Fashion Week, personally.

Preach it! I've received mail from Russian spambots who had more of an idea of when to capitalize words than this person apparently does.

If it wasn't for the "satire" and "it was a social experiment!" excuses, the portion of the internet that tries to defend indefensible stuff would grind to a halt.

It'll still be inspiring people a thousand years from now.

I'm not really up on the Star Wars universe: is there a race of aliens that have some colored limbs and some pale ones? Or did this cosplayer just run out of red makeup and go "Aww, fuck it" ?

My guesses were either "something from Bioshock" or "Steampunk Galactus." I wish I'd been right about the second one.

My wife and I were just discussing this (as we sit here in Boston listening to the honking at the rotary outside). She grew up in Northern Virginia, and pointed out that Boston's usually so congested that you just can't get up enough speed to do major damage. If we had a beltway system as good as DC, we could turn…
