Hey, remember that time when Family Guy didn't exist and Seth McFarlane wasn't being paid to make jokes on the Oscars about sexual assault?

i mean...it's a jez article on an interesting topic. not a thesis. it's DEFINITELY super duper simplified but i don't expect post doc academic scholarly reports from gawker, in general?

I'm from Eastern Europe and I find my friends lack of attachment highly odd, to be honest. If it wasn't my for highly annoying grandfather, who lives with my parents, I would be absolutely fine living with my parents for the rest of my life. Right now, I live in the city and my parents live in the burbs where I grew…

So is this more condiments for your total nothing burger?

Hooray, more fodder for The Soup!

A few years ago, before all this happened, I made her basic pound cake recipe. It used more vegetable shortening than butter. And, while very pretty, tasted like shit. I feel like that experience is representative of her as a human being.

White America, I get it. You feel like you'd be hypocrites if you didn't take her back, because she reminds you of your sweet old racist grandma. Don't! Your grandma says some things at the dinner table that you wish she wouldn't say. Whereas, as other commenters have already pointed out, Paula discriminated against…

Right? An overwhelming majority of non-black people didn't give half a shit when the story was hot. A year later they can have their butterwitch AND claim to be fans of redemption (as opposed to lovers of, and or indifferent to, racist shenanigans).

Sure, America loves a comeback narrative. She's a loveable mascot for every American who has ever been upset that they can't say the "N" word when "all those rap songs do." And besides, since the narrative has only focused on how she said the "N" word once in a fit of anger, and ignored her other (equally troubling)…

The problem with the whole thing is that they focused on her dropping the n-bomb, whereas they should have focused on her racists-as-fuck history as an employer.

It's because he's doing homage and she's the real genuine deal. People want their flyover country tales filtered through NPR first. Actual small town folks are hopelessly uncool.

The writing team tho...

when I was 14 I went to my first co-Ed dance wearing a floral coolot jumpsuit...and a headband. When some guy tried to get me to go into the broom closet with him, I was so scared the only thing I could think of to get out of the situation was to pretend to be asleep. Like I had narcolepsy or something. No way…

What we were all thinking.

Even worse— having a judge decide that you were "in control of the situation" merely based on your APPEARANCE.

Why does the judge still have his job? No one should be a judge if they think it's okay for a grown ass man to fuck a 14 year old just because she looks or acts older than she is. Adults should not pursue sexual relationships with children PERIOD. I don't care if a 14 year old begs to have sex with you. It is YOUR…

He is not being tried again. He was found guilty. The original sentence he got for that was overturned. This is just a new sentencing trial.

Only beat-up rape counts. The sneaky ones where that person snakes into your life and gains a sense of trust with you, only to abuse the power and forever damage your entire being, potentially enough to make you kill yourself? Yeah, that doesn't count. Totally.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that those 14 yr olds are black or Hispanic.

I haven't read Self in a long, long time, but I agree with you. I am sick of fitness and health magazines being geared toward fad diets and quick fixes and over-analyzing all these "imperfections" in our bodies.
