Ugh, this show was the definition of “well-off white guy being a shitbird and not understanding that people have every right to not worship him while he’s being said shitbird.”
Seriously, the only show I watch with a white guy protagonist is “Better Call Saul” because “Breaking Bad” was a fucking master piece. I just have no time for white man woes anymore...too much awesome, diverse shit to watch.
I really like Will Arnett, but I have no desire to watch this. I am just so over caring about angsty middle-age men. I am tired of them whining about their self-destruction. It occurs to me that if Frazier came out now, I probably wouldn't bother with it either.
I don’t know, man. I thought I’d like this show because I seriously heart Will Arnett , but I couldn’t get through a single episode. I can’t do melancholy skinny white bro angst anymore. Is this show really even intended for a Jez audience?
How is Rabbies Formed?
I just read the headline and thought COME ON this has to be in response to that high chair comment chain...
jezebel doesnt care about us though:(
Oh, fuck, I love this so much. I didn’t know what to expect. I gotta buy this book.
This fucking asshole for sure sees himself as a victim. How can this be the world we live in?
I read some of the linked articles and the victim repeatedly referenced being afraid of offending him and of causing a fuss. That resonated with me HARD, and judging by the comments on those articles, I’m not alone.
Seriously. I used to admire other writers for how they would respond to people criticizing them - either with humor or with a well-thought-out argument. But this author gets completely rude about it. Why even come down here then, especially if you profess that you don’t care about the commenters? We’re doing fine,…
Why even allow comments if you have so low an opinion of your commenters? I see this attitude a lot at Jezebel and I honestly don’t get it at all. If you don’t like the fact that there’s a community in a site that promotes itself as a community (and, I’m certain, doesn’t allow paid writers to simply turn off all…
Look! I’m Twitter famous now!
You should be proud of me that I got as far as I did!. Regardless of the details, I stand by the sentiment! :P
“Somewhat oddly, our hostess asks if we’ll be needing a highchair which, yeah, I’m literally holding a toddler and that’s generally what they sit in”
By Gwen’s logic then, I should dump my husband and take up with the old man who lives two blocks away, because we are both going through the pain of a full-bathroom remodel at the exact same time. Or maybe I should start dating the girl from the 5K last weekend who had to stop and re-tie her shoe at the exact same…
“Glass-fragile egos”
Unfortunately, truth-in-advertising laws demands that the group be renamed “75% Saints,” as one of them only had one verifiable miracle performed by their intercession, allowing for beatification but not canonization.
I think it’s definitely in a different class than actual sponsored content, but no, I think it’s important to recognize this as advertising in some form. Everything we experience these days—including, sometimes, our own identities—is commodified to the gills, our public policy is bought and paid for, and it’s…
