There's so much shame surrounding it. Which is incredibly stupid and awful.

I do, too. I admitted it before and immediately got terrified for outing myself on the internet. How fucked up is that?

I read a thing on Cracked a while back about "needs" that were created by ad companies. Allegedly, up until about 1975, herpes was just a thing that people had. It was like getting pimples sometimes. Nobody really cared and it was a fact of life. Then a pharmaceutical company decided they could make bank by demonizing…

Me too. I feel your pain.

I was going to say something along these lines but wasn't sure how to say it without coming off as oversensitive and whiny. It's something like a quarter or a third of all Americans have herpes, and a lot of them didn't get it from being skeezy and wearing fedoras. And then they spend their whole lives feeling super…

I'm glad. I have a crazy fear of coming off as an American who remains blissfully unaware of the rest of the world.

Catherine Tate is hilarious! And this skit is one of the funniest. Are you disrespecting me? And it's like Beirut in here!

Oh, cool! I hope that my comment didn't come off as doubting it's existence as a nickname. I swear I understand that there's a whole wide world outside of my home country!

I have never heard it called Newkie Brown. And I legitimately laughed out loud at the commercial.

Totally! So scary!

But, for all of Miley's antics recently, she hasn't been caught driving drunk or really doing anything in that realm. She's just sticking her tongue out a lot and appropriating black culture. Not that that's excusable, of course, but she's certainly not beeing putting people's lives in danger with her poor…

I love how it was "the teepee" not just some random teepee. Like Billy Ray clearly has a teepee on his property just waiting to be used for having sentimental heart to hearts with young pop stars making bad decisions. He's waited his whole life for this!

THIS. I have nothing thoughtful or interesting to add, just that I completely agree. Her age and sexuality are like wevs. It's literally every other thing that she does.

That gif is magic.

You are amazing for doing that! Well, what you're doing amounts to basic human decency, but that can be hard to come by. Anyway, I just know that your stepson's friends are so appreciative to have a loving place to go. It's little stuff like that that makes a huge positive difference in people's lives. :)

This is everything.

All I have ever wanted is to have coined a term with cultural significance. Steal away!
And you're probably (definitely) right. I just wanted it to be her coming out SO BAD.

It seemed to me like she acknowledged her sexuality a little bit. She said something about love not being for just some people, but all of us, and then pointed to herself. I may just be Dan Browning this. (Which is a term I just invented where you overanalyze otherwise normal things to make up some sort of hidden…

I really don't like it.

I can't decide if I love Taylor Swift's "fake surprised" or "fake not disappointed" face more.
