Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.

Him: "Okay, so if my shop had a room that everyone called 'dead nigger storage', think…

Exactly! I'm not saying calling a sketchy room the "rape room" is a totally awesome and hilarious thing to do, but the real issue is how they reacted when she asked them to stop. Another major issue is the implicit misogyny when a bunch of men fire a woman because they think she's overreacting to a rape joke.

If you have to say "It's a joke" it's not a joke.

Manhattan sits on bedrock, Boston sits on filled-in marshes and swamps.

By his logic, that means he probably doesn't exist.

Uhh.. Maybe because making a stupid, but ultimately not harmful to others than yourself/your spouse to marry for ulterior motives is NOT the same as exploiting/verbally abusing/harassing your employees?

Well, I'm glad SOMEONE cared enough to fix that typo!

I too watch a lot of KUWK and I was once of the mind that maybe Kimmy was just a sad love fool who is ALSO a media hungry reality whore. BUT then I remember the one moment from the Derp Derpington season, the episode where he proposes. Do you remember it? How fake it was? The set up and the prep and the camera crew in…

TELL ME MORE!! Are they still together? Does she regret it? Gossiping about people you don't know doesn't count as gossiping, right?!

That's true. Tho I suspect several of the black NZ players aren't necessarily Maori either. Anyway, just a curiosity. Personally, I think it's a cool tradition.

Meh, if it was just me as I am now filming my wedding, then yeah, sure, I'd do it, because who cares? No one is going to watch that shit. But if you told me I had to have Kim Kardashian's life to get the amount of money she has? Sell every bit of my personal life to the press and deal with being famous? Fuuuuck…

Hold it. These people have their own vacation home. Why am I giving them money?

If they were convinced that the treatment would have no benefits to their child, why keep doing it? It sounds like the parents thought they had medical care covered - battery power, feed lines, etc — for their kid.

It took me FOREVER to get this (OK I had help) but this is the funniest freaking thing ever.

Authorities don't like giving up power.

Once I was pretty high and decided to make a grilled cheese sandwich, and forgot to take the wax paper out from between the two slices of cheese that I used. I realized it about a third of the way in but didn't want my sandwich to go to waste so ate the rest of it. The texture kind of works in a grilled cheese, at…

My bowels just clenched in empathy

I don't know if I could eat grease-soaked bread unless I was absolutely starving, but when I make BLT's, I quickly dip the bread slices in the bacon grease in the pan. It was my Mom's trick, and it helps make them more bacon-y.

That is not true! No one can be that stupid, right? RIGHT?

To reinforce your argument: I used to have hair and my driver's license picture included hair and a beard. Later, I shaved everything off and would rent golf clubs which required that I leave my license as hostage for the clubs. Without fail, I would turn in the clubs and the person behind the counter could NEVER…
