The men's free skate was an embarrassment. If Dennis Ten hadn't scored so poorly in the short program, he would have, and should have won, for the strongest free skate of the the last two groups. Hanryu won because of the huge score he put up in the short, which was entirely deserved. All the top six men skated…

You are a shill for the Russians, as you have amply demonstrated all over this page, who actually thinks Lipnitskaia, with two falls, merited a place on the podium. You have no credibility here.
I agree. I don't think Ashley was as low-balled as some do, because she doesn't always achieve full rotation on her jumps, and sometimes cheats on her landing edge. But her bigger problem is that she is unapologetic that she wants to win and that she thinks she's talented and deserves to be in the mix. She's not…
I have to agree that Sotnikova benefited from inflated scores. Her technical marks deserved to be very high, and and she did have higher difficulty and more technical content. Her spins were superior, and she skated with a joy and abandon that made her fun to watch. Kim was a bit reserved in contrast, although…
It seems weird the piece would quote Shae-Lynn Bourne, then go on to discuss Jason Brown's free skate to Riverdance, without mentioning Bourne and her partner, Victor Kraatz, skated to Riverdance in the 1997-1998 season. It was one of their most popular pieces, but didn't go over that well with the judges, and was…
Not sure how you missed this: http://jezebel.com/so-benedict-cu…
I first saw him in Cambridge Spies way back in 2003, and it was over when I saw him in the mini-series The Last Enemy in 2008. And then I saw him in the cinema broadcast of the stage production of Frankenstein in which he rotated roles with Jonny Lee Miller. Dear Goddess, that man is talented, and that talent makes…
You may well be the most wonderful person on earth. I'm quite sure of it, actually.
It's worse than cortisol levels. Racism kills. http://www.blackagendareport.com/content/health…
I'd agree with you if not for the letters he sent from jail and the comments about his arrogance, violence and racism from his long-time neighbor, particularly the fact that the neighbor and his wife immediately assumed after hearing the story that he had shot someone because they "failed to comply" with what Dunn…
You are not alone. And remember how once in a blue moon it was like your cable would forget itself and unscramble for a minute or two? It was like winning the lottery!
Yes, Showtime. You're lucky I didn't dump you after the debacle that was the Dexter finale and whatever the hell you did with The Borgias. Do this right and don't make me turn this car around.
If I had millions, I would pay you just for putting this in my mind palace.
NOOOOOOO!!!!! I NEVER wanted to see this!
The idea that I am so old that someone I have been watching skate since he was an adolescent has been married TWICE is breaking my brain today!!!!
Now playing
You know, I actually think it was better for him, and us, that he never managed to break through and get on the podium at the Olympics. It made him even more creative and cultivated his ability to play to the crowd. He is the consummate ENTERTAINER.
What in the name of Kurt Browning did I just watch?
This is so true. Phil Donahue does not get remotely enough credit for truly giving voice and a forum to diverse and historically marginalized guests, and a lot of the 101 I brought into my own social justice work as a WOC and as a constantly learning ally to other groups was learned from his show.
My response was more intended for McHotSpot than you. Damn you, Kinja.
I think the answer to any question that begins "How is this any different than white people..." should get a tldr answer: Racism. History. Disparate impact. Unequal access. Disproportionately affected.
