I'm pretty sure those were absurdist jokes. Have you seen the show? The whole show is filled with ridiculous things nobody would ever really say, and that's what makes them funny.

It's really sad what Madonna has become. She used to be avante-garde; now she co-opts anything and everything that's already been deemed worthy by others (Kaballah! EDM! Civil rights!), and then turns it into a way to commercialize herself. She used to guide our cultural thinking; now she uses the thinking of other…

Especially right now! It's a blatant co-optation of the current incarnation of the Civil Rights movement.

I love their chicken-gouda sandwich, which seems to be part of their bourgeois re-branding.

Um. Ugh. What the hell is this thing? I thought from the headline it was going to be a turkey-stuffing (or mash)-cranberry sandwich, which can be very, very good. But what is with the burger or chicken? That is just wrong. I would like to pass this off as "oh, those wacky Japanese," but there is something evil at work…

Thank you for saying this about "perceived lack of oppression." That is the view of a true egalitarian, which is not something I see here often. Too often, people make judgments about others on the basis of their skin color or sex or whatever without considering the individual's circumstances. I get mad at Jezebel…

I know, right? It's like we don't even know him anymore.

Isn't that relevant, though? It's like Selena Gomez wearing a bindi. Iggy Azalea rapping is not the same as Selena Gomez in a bindi. This is a valid point, but you seem to think you've mastered the art of saying a couple of words in all caps in a snarky tone like they mean something, a Jezebel specialty. BARF. PERIOD.…

That was an accident. His was the first comment and I accidentally hit that instead of the general article one. SORRRYYYYYYY.

I bring up kente cloth a lot? By my recollection, I've done it twice (thanks for the compliment of stalking my comments, tho). I am referencing that movie Made in America, but that's okay if you don't get it babe. Just accept that you don't get it and don't make broad-brushed assumptions about my understanding of…

I actually accidentally hit reply on your comment (the first) instead of the one at the end of the article. Sorry about that. But your comment is ridiculous, now that I have the opportunity to remark. What is this "black people" and "white people" shit? Yes, let's broadly stereotype. That's great for equality. Derrr.

Okay, so I understand that she has made some racist tweets or whatever it was (I don't know the specifics), and she was stupid to have that "slave-master" line (wtf was she thinking?), and that is definitely an important part of the context here. But what, really, is wrong with anything she said? I think she's right…

But there's no vindication. She was lying. There's clear evidence she made the whole thing up. So, she threw herself to the wolves by making up a complex story involving a fake boyfriend, burner phones, and ultimately, a fake gang rape. She had spoken in public before about the alleged events. It was not Rolling…

I think that's a great point. It's a good idea to consult with an attorney about this, but Jezebel is not known for consulting with experts. They mostly take news from other sources and add their own opinions to them. Unfortunately, those opinions are coming from English majors, not anyone with training in journalism,…

Please don't congratulate yourself. Jezebel/Gawker had absolutely no skepticism about this story even as it began to unravel.

I did read that comment, and I thought it was ridiculous, but that wasn't my interpretation of it. Maybe I didn't read the whole thing. I agree these students should be concerned about their own campus. It's their home.

What I don't get is why these protesters aren't thinking of the low-education dude on the clean-up crew with a bad back and a low wage, trying to haul what were once perfectly-good mattresses into dumpsters. They're just like, "Oh, let's put these mattresses here, and destroy them, and the little people will clean up…

Why should the topic of the event be taken into consideration? If that were the case, there would be a lot of abuses of that policy, both from the administration and from students. Sometimes you have to pay administrative costs for free speech on someone else's property. They should have budgeted, if they were a…

Who said that? Where? I don't believe you. And if someone did say that, then they are a stupid person, not indicative that thinking like that is somehow endemic.

I think that's the message you're hearing, but the bill is separate from the message of the group. Someone had to clean that up, and they were paid to do so. Who is supposed to pay for it? The student group, as is customary. I think the message that is being sent is "Student groups have to pay for the clean-up costs…
