Watching metal mutate into various forms throughout the decades and going out with "not a bang, but a whimper," Simmons might be qualified to reflect on the fading of youth culture. The fact that Simmons hates rap music, as much as my parents hated metal, doesn't mean he's wrong.

Three words "Kennedy-Volcker Plan".

I heard the Region 2 title was changed to 22.11.63.

Killing Oswald is one solution to preventing JFK's assassination, getting the voters to pick Nixon is another. It'd be a little late in the game to find Nixon a stylist for the debates, but running a particularly nasty smear campaign might do the trick. Track down a few mistresses to challenge the pre-Clinton era

Who is this Timothy Geithner character, and why is his name all over your money?

The "Pam, the Overly Confident Morbidly Obese Woman" theme works perfectly as a "That Girl" musical backdrop to Liz's character in the pilot episode, and "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" captures the feel of "Monster Mash" without being a direct ripoff. The first episode I saw of 30 Rock was "Cleveland" and the tourist montage

Garry Marshall pretty much managed to milk the laughs out of the concept in the 70s, and Richard Donner managed to milk it even more in the 80s. Unless there's a lot of stuff blowing up and gunfire, the stakes here are pretty low.

He comes across as being human, subject to the same neurochemical ups and downs associated with sexuality and disappointment. If it turns out he's a robot created by the Toyman without all the weirdness and awkwardness associated with hormones, then I might agree that he's been programmed to be evil.

Because in that scene, a drunken Cat Grant, admits she cares enough about her employees to notice the little things. The Supergirl reveal had nowhere near the impact of the revelation that Cat has actually been paying attention.

The hacking attack is pretty much what sold Cat's speech at the end. The email story suggests Cat's abrasive self-absorbed image is manufactured. That makes the reveal, that she's actually paying attention to the little things happening to the people who work for her, a lot more believable.

Your second favorite doula related trivia should be that Gina Crosley of Veruca Salt also worked as a doula.

Not quite like English does. When Americans talk about sex and other bodily functions, the language of origin (Germanic English vs Anglo French) is what gets the blue haired ladies all riled up. Our problem with four-letter words isn't what they mean, but the class of people they represent.

This speech happens right after we see a close-up of a Garrison/Jenner 2016 button. "Being as politically correct as possible" and "fuck them to death" are both totalitarian viewpoints. As much as people love to point fingers at conservatives and liberals for political intolerance, totalitarianism isn't necessarily

It ultimately was about South Park's image, and the image of the townspeople. The conspiracy was branding.

…or, it could have been a nod to the "Chekov's Gun" trope (which was brilliantly subverted in this particular episode).

I don't think Garrison or PC Principal were being portrayed as villains. I think Parker and Trey did a decent job at showing how both extreme viewpoints were flawed. It looked like the real focus was on getting people with differing opinions working together for the good of the community, instead of relying on

You're completely missing the point. If you honestly believe euphemisms solve issues of inequality, you're sweeping the real problems of systematic oppression under the rug. The biggest irony is that the English language is (and has been for centuries) systematically classist, and PC is yet another method of
