Of course scandals like this are nothing new in curling. Last year at the Tournament of Hearts the Skip of the Manitoba team was busted for having a blood-alcohol level under .12. The sport still hasn’t recovered.

Fake news. It was Crooked Hillary Clinton that did it.

Meh. Tone deafness in advertising is nothing new. Some years ago, American Express used Lennon’s “Imagine” in one of its credit card commercials.

Some really clever programmer should create an ad blocker that somehow downloads the ads and clicks on them in the background, but doesn’t show or do anything with them and kills off the cookies. I’m happy with screwing over those people who create these predatory ads.

This seems like the sort of article Lifehacker staff might read the comments to, so.

They probably just wanted to get you to make a microtransaction.

Yeah, it’s weird to actually see a First Amendment violation happening for real, rather than some crybabies on twitter getting upset a corporate entity took a marker away from their name.

You are correct. Other than animal products, the only thing vegan food cannot contain is flavor.

If you really want the “Heather isn’t fucking around version,” here it is:

Loot boxes are, ignoring the hair splitting of insufferable pedants like yourself, gambling. They are crafted, from probabilities to visual to their contents, to condition individuals and encourage repeated purchase and use. People with

This is exactly how the people who’ve greenlit the last 6 years’ worth of DC movies think.

It’s practically impossible for these films to leave anything open for surprise, that’s why I still love that controversial Iron Man 3 mid-film reveal. I did not see that one coming.

“should”

No, passing on a double yellow is being an asshole. Swerving to intimidate and kill is [attempted (edit)] murder. Asshole is much lower on the scale.
