A male friend actually lost 100 lbs playing dance, dance revolution and I lost about 25 doing wii stuff, so video games can help. But I don't see why knitting or crosswords wouldn't be just as effective by his theory. You could also constantly paint your nails..wait until dry, take off and repeat until you're a…

At Cosby's level, it's largely about money. My cousin, however, is a public defender. He and a lot of the public defenders do it because they really and truly believe that everyone deserves an advocate, even (or perhaps especially) those who have been accused of the worst crimes.

Who is the victim? Victim(s)...I say the women he drugged and raped? Fuck this guy.

To the contrary, he asked that they adhere to journalistic standards and approach the story in a neutral manner—without a predisposition to either side of the story. It is of course what we would expect of all media.

Oprah had a doctor on who said hypothyroidism is caused by "swallowing your words" (in case you didn't know, it's usually autoimmune). She also spent a couple years promoting The Secret which was essentially "if you think good thoughts, you'll get rich and be healthy and all the good things will happen, because I…

Well golly gee, knowing this beforehand would have made so many of my experiments so damn simple XD

When I was in Vegas, Phil McGraw's bobblehead wife was at the table gambling like crazy with their playmate daughter in law and her two sisters (the three of them were triplet playmates together). It was weird and sleazy.

I blame Oprah for two of TV's biggest quacks and charlatans: Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz.

It's always empty when I'm there (I go 4 times a week), but without fucking fail every time I want to use a specific machine there is someone draped across it, texting for 20 minutes and then loudly complaining to their friend on the machine next to them that they haven't lost any weight and I'm filled with silent…

How the fuck is this dude gone say "let your music speak" when they ain't listening? Is he trying to tell me that Igloo is speaking better? Tha fuck outta here with this nonsense.

Ashlee Simpson: The "and guest" of her own life.

That Facebook post makes it sound like they really, really want you to believe that he was accidentally given a pool noodle in place of a cane. Like it's just one of those wacky things that happens. This is some bullshit.

It has a lot to do with sexism- if a woman writing for a female audience on a women's website isn't acting like something is totally perfect and awesome and great!, she must be outraged by it.

Nope.

Because no white girl EVER got pregnant as a teenager, AMIRIGHT???

Matt Lauer is a secret sleaze like Stalin was subtly scary.

Interestingly, there wasn't much in the way of evidence at the trial either. It isn't Koenig's role to convince you he didn't kill her any more than it is the defense's job. "Reasonable doubt" is the point, not "absolute certainty." There's enough reasonable doubt in the justice system to warrant an appeal hearing,…

I've enjoyed the first season of 'Serial' and look forward to the next season, but I've never thought of it as a murder mystery. Going in, I didn't expect a grand reveal in the final episode, a moment where Koenig assembles all the interviewed individuals in a tasteful British country estate parlor, pulls out a pipe…

I went to UC Santa Cruz, but I see your point. The argument that Krakauer is making is that this is part of a well-covered criminal case and it's in the public interest to know how the school handled it before it reached the "public" court system. I agree with him. The fact that schools have, for all intents and…

One correction, IMO. Krakauer is NOT a reporter. He is a fucking journalist, in the true sense of the word.
