What's really funny about this is that I've been watching Community on hulu plus all week. But, yeah, this zoo population control stuff is sad. I was so initially appalled by the euthanasia method that I thought it was sort of important to try and understand why it seemed appalling. It does make sense to let Read more

One of the comments on the original Metro posts went something along the lines of "if volleyball players don't want to be leered at, they can stop wearing bikinis," which I think is not at all the point — male swimmers wear speedos, yet none of their Getty photos focus exclusively on their bottom halves. It's Read more

During one of the many summers my sister scooped ice cream, she got a call just before the ice cream shop was about to close from Jon Gosselin. He asked if there was anyone in the store (there wasn't), then said he'd be by in about 15 minutes. I don't remember what he ordered, but my sister said he didn't tip, so I Read more

Or eggshells, or so the super told me. I was floored. Read more

That's cool, though. I mean, there's something to be said for letting kids have enough time to fuck around outside and eat a bunch of candy at specially-designated holidays, but I really wish someone had taught me that it's not okay to put coffee grinds down the garbage disposal. Read more

Yeah, as much as I hate what this guy has to say, it'd be really awful to start criminalizing even the worst hate speech...and now I feel like I'm starting to lose my footing on this slippery slope. Read more

My sister read the first book over 4th of July weekend and said that it was really repetitive... Read more

I don't and, though I am super-tempted to say Roger Ebert said it, I think he just retweeted. I really enjoyed comic book movies when they first started rolling out, and I still really like the characters. A lot. Midnight showings might not be the precise problem — I think it has a lot to do with how serious the Read more

Haha — the Bible, though, is really a fan fiction writer's fever dream. There's soooo much material. This sales report, though, is more about Christian fiction, which I understand to be sort of...chaste, but with euphemistic dirtiness? Has anyone read bona fide Christian fiction? Would Twilight count? Read more

I'm pretty busy posting so I can't quite get to dismissing those porn gifs as quickly as they should be dismissed. If anyone sees something awful, message/email me and I can bury it ASAP. Read more

I like the energy too, and I'm always a little touched (which sounds very cheesy) when people care enough to come out and dress up for a midnight show. I went to see the last Fast and Furious movie at midnight for some reason and discovered that people who were in high school when the first one came out are Read more

He could have just had a fair chunk of family money that he spent on weapons — I know he had a lot of gear, but how much does that stuff really cost? Or, I guess the other question is, how hard is that stuff to acquire? Read more

I had no idea where that term came from, so I've changed the title. Very sorry — no offense intended. Read more

I wonder — can the dogs get room service? How do you think that would work? I imagine a servile Dalmatian bringing baskets of dog biscuits to the door and politely hanging around for a tip. Read more

Hey, so I know this isn't directly relevant to the article, but is anyone else sort of not liking (if you had been liking) 'Dance Moms' anymore? I tried to watch some new episodes and was all, "Ugh, this is booooorrrriiiiing." I'm no TV producer, but I think the moms should be drinking a lot more (like wine skins in Read more
