And Daenarys. In the book, her wedding night is all about consent. It’s the point where Daenarys and the reader start to see there’s more to Drogo and the Dothraki than just being the savage, barbaric culture we’ve been told about in the previous chapters.

Even Martin’s comments on that could be read as criticism.

That’s my problem. It’s not the fact there is rape, I know that in a show set in a society based on the Middle Ages there’s going to be rape, it’s that the writers are just inventing scenes of rape and sexual violence that were never there, going all the way…

No, FGM is not just an ‘African tradition’ it’s also prevalent in the Middle East in smaller towns and villages.

The big thing to me, and I can’t stress this enough, animals do not have gender specific pissing bushes.

He’s Canadian and did time in prison? What did he do? Cut in line at grocery store? Forget to ask the neighbor how his day was going?

Plus, when they try to make those comparisons, they’re usually wrong. Animals change gender. They go about in a completely different fashion but it happens. I learned that in Jurassic Park when I was five.

I’m teaching my entire family to crochet beanies.

There are ball jointed Barbie bodies, they’re usually used for dance/sports/exercise themed Barbies.

I have the Warhol Platinum Barbie and even she has ball jointed elbows.

It was released by Mattel, so if it wasn’t Barbie it was, at the least, Barbie adjacent.

‘Minors performing sex acts’ could be something as innocent as nude wrestling, a popular subject of ‘fitness’ magazines.

Most sources say the seized material was everything from 18th century tintypes, to 50's and 60's fitness magazines featuring models who could be anywhere between 15 - 21 year old, and nudist…

The child porn charges were lowered to possession of obscene material with intent to distribute and Reubens accepted a plea deal.
The material in question were vintage nudist lifestyle magazines from the 40's and 50's.

They were just so wonderfully camp. Someone should do an in-depth book or documentary on them.

Remember The Del Rubio Triplets? RIP.

I want to cast her in my Rainbow Brite/Golden Girls mash-up.

Yeah, I think a clip from the video online is played really quickly in a reenactment of the Jury watching evidence. I watched it on Sundance and remember being really shocked they showed brief bestiality.

There’s also an Errol Morris documentary about the first woman to ever have a pet commercially cloned in the US…

It’s called Zoo. It is a very, very strange film (the Plaster Caster replica is what got me) and one of the videos the man made of him and horse is out there on shock sites under the name ‘Mr. Hands’ contrary to urban legend, it’s not the encounter that ended with his death.

Why does your small upper-class New England town have such a high murder rate? Why do the murders always happen in your general vicinity? Like, I think you may be a serial killer and you’re framing innocent people for your crimes.

I have this friend who, in the 90's, ended up backstage at a Chilli Peppers concert and he said Flea was like really sweet and trying to force everyone to eat. Like, even though they were famous by then, Flea was still genuinely surprised that all the food was free and didn’t want it to go to waste, but Anthony is an…

Oh my God, let me tell you, I always thought that Frank Sinatra Jr was Frank and Mia’s son. So, last night, when he died and everything was talking about he was 72, I was so confused.

In the late 80's and early 90's she also did shows on Satanic Ritual Abuse.
