Just… just make sure it's a Joel episode, for reasons you either already know or shouldn't research right now.

Rob Lowe and Parks & Rec. Adam Baldwin and Firefly. Does every show want to have a charismatic garbage person in its cast, or is it just some sort of affirmative action quota?

Someone I've known almost my entire life has just explained that they are not a racist or bigot, they're just saying the Liberal government's promise to take in 25,000 Syrian refugees means that Islamic terrorism is definitely coming to Canada and they're not going to listen to any politically correct garbage claiming…

On one level, both sides do it. On another, actually-true level, one side's prominent, leading, and powerful figures do it, and the other side's sorta-well-known but essentially powerless figures do it. Right after 9/11, for example, Noam Chomsky wrote an editorial for Z Magazine talking about how the victims of 9/11…

Well, I stand corrected. Joel Hodgson produced 69 episodes of MST3K, but obviously he knows nothing about the process.

Well, a number pulled out of your ass doesn't become a "fact" no matter how fancy your ass is, so it's more that I was already snarky long before you came along.

Since it will make you happy to hear someone say it: well done, some guy on the internet, you know a lot more about how to make an episode of MST3K than the guy who made the first sixty episodes of MST3K. He has no idea what's going on. He probably didn't even google anything.

The Caked Piper and the Treatster are both ready to go.

Probably because they're planning on paying the writers, cast and crew in money, not bullshit internet exposure.

However many months back I ended up going to opening night for Pitch Perfect 2, and this was one of the trailers that preceded it.

The key to that code is that "catering to the SJWs" is just another way of saying "producing something not meant for 13-year-old boys and grown men who think like them".

I hadn't realized there was a hole in my life in the shape of Bots Talkbackwithman hosting MST3K, but now I can think of nothing else.

There's something refreshingly honest about the goalposts (ha pun) being moved from "this name is not offensive and in fact is a tribute to a great people" to "of course this name is obviously offensive but so are thousands of other trademarks".

White, in a lot of debt, and not the real racists.

They've already got carriage deals with cable providers for this channel. Shutting it down and starting a new channel means reopening negotiations with America's cable industry, whose slogan is "thank you for holding onto our money, but we'll be putting that on the pile now".

You say "absolutely no good reason" but the pile of money from the carriage fees and ad sales is right there.

You missed it last time, I take it? There was a mini-spasm of whining that George Lucas was criticizing (then-)President Bush, but that would only make sense if an elderly black-hearted psychopath working behind the scenes through a dumb, naive puppet as his route to imperial power reminded you of anybody.

Yes, Mr. Old Man Yells At Cloud, that cloud was asking for it. Yes it was. #AllCloudsMatter

Well, you get your information from Fox News, so it's not surprising you still believe that.

For example, there was that time the mainstream media kept repeating White House claims that there were WMDs in Iraq, and gave cover to a war that killed thousands of Americans and created ISIS.
