My hometown network affiliate is currently running a local news story about a woman arrested for having a quickie with her passed-out-drunk boyfriend in a parking lot and the tone is "LOL nowhere but here, amIright?" instead of, you know, "oh my God, this woman publicly raped her boyfriend."

God yes. And the fact that unlike Rolling Stone he sought out the rapists to talk to is part of its power, I think. It really lays bare the banality of evil to hear how utterly unable they are to process the idea that they did anything wrong.

Feel free to point out how much my love of the movie prejudices me, and maybe it does, but I always thought those jokes operated not around rape being funny, but on what utter cartoony sociopaths the bad guys were being funny. Sort of the same with "Up yours, n—-er!" which is a joke where the butt is a sympathetic…

40 Days and 40 Nights, too. And in both cases the implicit secondary joke is that he shouldn't complain because she's traditionally attractive.

Good thing this posted on a Friday so all the MRA types will be too busy with their rich social lives this evening to swarm it.

Hahahaha oh my God. Yes. We are the parasites. Not the ones who profit from art that we don't actually do any work to produce, but those of us who object to same.

Wait, are you glad to be rid of the boys club fratty attitude or did you like Millar/Hitch on Ultimates?

In this case, it's most likely literally just traced porn.

That's definitely the level of anatomical know-how I would expect from whoever drew that and whoever had the idea for it.

Just the cherry on top of the Gillian Flynn Cool Girl sundae, I presume.

Homegirl should be a star by now. But also she needs to take the lead in my novel before she gets prohibitively expensive by now.

Allison Tolman!

That sounds like a New York Post hed.

Worst Beck song EVER.

I've always wanted to write something going deeper into people who don't just cavalierly use music for purposes the creators don't approve of, but are active fanboys of people who openly loathe them—-not just Christie and Bruce but Paul Ryan/RATM, David Cameron/The Smiths and Glenn Beck/Muse.

I dunno, the South still has its share of Joe Manchin types, conservative Dems who survive by being total wingnuts on energy and/or the scions of pre-CRA political dynasties. I can see how someone like her could support basically zero left-of-center positions and still identify as a Democrat because she's voted for…

I can see why he appeals to Ted Cruz.

Of course, he also endorsed Obama in '08 and got ammosexuals het up by banning guns from the bar chain he owns. Basically he sounds like a moderate who made his bones with a wingnut anthem and is comfortable accepting those people's money.
