"A giant English manor with greyhounds and horses. I would sit around in a big dining hall and just, I don't know."

Right? We could die happy.

How nerdy is it that, as a paralegal for IP, I am actually extremely impressed that Lisa Frank negotiated a lucrative copyright licensing agreement with King Features before she was 20 years old? I've seen 50 year olds who can't manage it.

Wow, that absolutely sucks. She never should have been subject to having her license revoked or any of it.

I mostly agree, but if the car thief really had been armed and raised his gun at the owner, it would have been self-defense, and he wouldn't have been charged with manslaughter. "How easy it is to avoid being shot" is pure conjecture and wouldn't figure in at all. It would have been straightforward self-defense.

Damn, another one? In the Maple Valley one, the thief himself was armed and took a shot at the owner, that's why I was surprised.

Yup, the last time I teared up at South Park, it was in Imaginationland when Kyle briefly died and Cartman's mask slipped a little. It doesn't happen much, but it's always very poignant when they do allow a bit of seriousness in.

Trey and Matt have made so many excellent points about the way society views women through that character. This is going to sound corny as hell, but...I kind of feel like Wendy Testaberger has been my friend for the past 16 years.

Depends. What will you be wearing?

Why wasn't suing an option for your mom? Cases like these are almost always taken on a contingent basis. There was also the strong possibility of pro bono representation once she herself was sued. Please tell me your mother didn't suffer through this injustice without ever having had an attorney because she assumed…

Are you talking about the case in Maple Valley? Where the marine killed the armed car thief? I can't find anything online about him even being charged.

Sometimes I think about how incredibly easy it would be to troll the Tea Party crowd and make money doing it. Candy from a baby.

You do realize that what you said was not remotely serious enough for it to have damaged a friendship, right? Maybe it was obtuse, but it was hardly unforgivable. Sounds like she was projecting her frustration onto you. People are always searching for the best thing to say in situations like that, and sometimes…

My mind immediately went to imagining the best way to combine Benedict Cumberbatch, cats and cupcakes. Like, Benedict comes to my house wearing a Christmas sweater and bearing gifts of a professional Kitchenaid stand mixer and a kitten, and we use the mixer to make red velvet Christmas cupcakes while the kitten looks…

"It is our fault for making Kim K think she needed to have some sort of talent other than being the conduit through which we were introduced to Scott Disick."

Apparently we're supposed to do that thing where we disingenuously dismiss rap artists as arch misogynists because of their lyrics, which isn't at all suspect. Obviously rappers never rap "in character." Because that's not a well-established thing, or anything. Clearly "99 Problems" literally expresses Jay-Z's…

Single White Female reference?? I can't believe how much you just nailed this situation. Boom.

This trailer pissed me off by not crediting Andrew Lincoln after its copious use of scenes from his lead role in a top-rated television series.

I thought the same thing. It was a pretty annoying thing to say, but the idea that it only refers to Ian McKellan is more indicative of Jezebel's weirdly obsessive focusing on certain celebrities, and they've been very focused on Ian McKellan lately. Callie probably thinks "women who have played capable badasses"…

Good god. Just...fuck. *Shakes head, side-eye at the comments, backs away from post feeling slightly worse about the world, thinks of Morty and Lee and smiles, in spite of Lindy West, feels disappointed in Lindy West's ability to pick battles.*
