Yup. Agree. I can think of only two reasons why it seems to be so watchable and popular and heart-warming: British accents and Hugh Grant. We on this side of the Pond will watch and applaud some pretty low-quality stuff if the people in it talk all classy-like British. And Hugh Grant really is the apex of that

Bravo. I agree with everything.

I laughed so hard at every joke in this piece people think I have Robin Williams in my office doing stand-up from 1986. OMG. OMG Lindy.

My darling Lindy,

Makes sense to me. All I want for my fictional daughter is for her to get knocked up by Nate P. (because neither of them learned about safe sex in their abstinence-only schools, and my daughter's insurance didn't cover birth control). My daughter will keep the baby, obviously, because my dream for her is to have an

This. The pull-out method works just fine if you're tracking your ovulation. Because NEWS ALERT: you're only fertile about 5 days out of your cycle.

Researcher in the field of obesity here...I generally just hang out in the sidelines observing the comments go down here. But I couldn't help and weigh (no pun intended) in on this one.

Hated that movie SO. MUCH.

I will not tolerate the besmirching of Lindy! ;)

Uh, 2 things:

First, it's pretty much impossible to tell if someone is Latino by looking at them. Leo Messi is Latino, so is Juan Williams.

Mexican culture? Shit! I forgot to put on my bandana en golden earrings when I woke up! Cause, I'm Mexican, right? I think the article is more offensive to me and I hate the fact that her only background to defend this is ONE mexican neighbor.

As a Latina woman, who has been at it that my whole life, I do not feel offended because cholo culture is not one that I feel represents my people. If she were wearing huipiles, and caites maybe, MAYBE I would feel upset. Chol@s is more East LA, gangster culture. Also my tattoo artist is white, his mother is white

I have an undying addiction to Lana del Rey's music, but I don't really care for her as a person (or her persona, I guess? I don't know if Elizabeth Grant is actually like Lana Del Rey). She is very manufactured and the "hardcore sadness" (I think she called it sadcore) and old hollywood obsession gets old real quick.

I don't want to read a lecture on race from someone who says "her albino boyfriend" and pulls a "I know all about this because my neighbor is Mexican." Learn the basics of jargon before you talk about this in public. Every single person on this site knows more than you about this.

Yes, because the only reason anyone ever sleeps with a married person is as part of a deliberate plan to break up their marriage.

Lower than, oh, child molesters, murderers, spouse abusers, rapists, and people who talk in the theatre?

I don't think you get what a 'double standard' actually is.

Yeah, what possible reason would a game site have to discuss faulty physics.... in a game!!!

Women in video-games are not represented as they actually are and are usually represented in this awkward sexualized way. That's the critique here.
