I was scratching my head over that picture, too. “Who?” and “Why is she famous?” and “What does she do?” spring to mind. Don’t you need to be, like, Of Some Consequence before you get to be a waxwork?

It’s a cynical campaign designed to get Sesame Street to bring legal action and generate public interest and visibility. The use of the word positive there is intentional. This is similar to the GoldieBlox thing from a few years ago.

It was a play on words. They’re pretending Bert is dumb and thinks “positive” means “optimistic” or “all good” but in reality it means Ernie tested “positive” which means he has HIV/STIs.

The most baffling question I’m left with after reading this article is — Why would any self-respecting wax museum go to the trouble of making and displaying a wax statue of Kendall Jenner?

The wedding invites will start coming again when your Millenial friends get divorced, then decide to remarry in a few years.

Who is “Grimes”?

when i was in a scientology based rehab (long story) part of the “formula” was to “deliver an effective blow to the enemy” to get out of the “liability condition.”

Because they harassed and attacked IRS officials until they granted them religious exemption status.

Eh — “groceries” is a weak simile.

That’s cool, but anime aside, I’d like to point out Pacific Rim is criminally underrated. I don’t understand how it didn’t do better at the box office. It may be one of my favortie movies ever. Then agian maybe I’m just biased towards giant mechs and kaiju.
