If that’s the case, why wouldn’t she just say that? If she and/or Maher had said “my contract obligates me to continue doing this show, I still stand in solidarity with the WGA” then the outrage would be nearly nothing.

I didn’t realize she had gotten fake tits, never seen her in motion before.

We call that “The OJ Method.”

Then she should really just say that. I’d respect more than her statement that the world somehow needs her show. 

I think a lot of us read it that way. Probably because somehow, that makes more sense than what actually happened. 

We don’t really need to do this, do we? Taryn Manning’s mental health is obviously compromised at this point in time and it’s not worth reporting anything she says. She is clearly using drugs and needs serious help. This just feels weird and gross to me.

Her Ex was probably too busy hanging out at the HS senior parking lot to notice.

The first time I read it, I read it as "picture of a man with 14 penises in his mouth". And I though huh, that's actually pretty impressive logistically.

I mean, presumably Barrymore could have (as she’s apparently within this level of decision making) negotiated a new contract with her writers complying with their most recent offer as the accepted terms and then applying for the appropriate exemption.

She is representative of her district they didn’t vote against her in massive numbers. She is representative of her district because she literally is the representative of her district. Do better next time.

But do recognize that if you attempt to racialize a phenomenon that is overwhelmingly more prevalent among BIPOC teens than white teens, you are potentially opening the door to a lot of ugly white supremacist pablum (to say nothing of putting…

College????

Eh, I’d hesitate to characterize teen pregnancy as a “white trash” thing. The moment you start making value judgments about teen pregnancy, you can get into trouble given the demography of teen pregnancy. I’ve often seen white supremacists bolster their claims about the moral superiority of “white culture” (and/or,…

She has a son who is 18 or around there.  His girlfriend had their baby in April, which is why this article called her a “36 year old grandmother.” 

Her...kids are too young to know? At what age do you expect this resentment to develop? 

Kids, don’t do meth...

She seems more upset about the fictional rape than the real one.

There’s nothing wrong with butthole licking.

Yea, there was once a time when AV Club would write this with a lot more nuance. Right now it’s almost like they’re enjoying how unhinged she seems. 

Isn’t she, uh, quite unwell? There was the whole... butthole licking/boat purchasing thing recently. I think she needs help, not mockery.
