My rage at the loss of Millihelen has started to mellow a bit, but hot DAMN! I’m still mad. As others have said, this was a welcoming, non-judgy little part of the Internet for Laydeeeez, full of insightful commenters bringing their own real world experience. I met Don’tBeSuchaBoobPunchTina, my fellow fortysomething…

I never realized anyone, let alone Nicki Minaj, gave a crap about a VMA.

I really hate how all this went down, but you don't really get to argue for editorial freedom when you've proven yourself incapable of wielding such freedom responsibly and ethically.

It’s ok to be really pissed off about the breach of the editorial wall, but holding this offense up as a defense against ever having to address the actual subject matter, and, you know, use some judgement and morals and have some compassion, is completely tone-deaf and makes you look a lot like the types of people…

i am bummed i wont get to hear mean. or our song.
