@Cairn: honestly, as a writer here, i've never experienced any interference regarding advertising and my posts. it's one of the more awesome aspects of this job. so you can just assume, that unless we specifically say that something is a promotion, that advertising isn't influencing our content. i was actually Read more

@TeFrey: i have a feeling that people who "see the light" on the island, or find redemption, or whatever, end up having a better life on the sideways story. the ones who don't, and join the dark side with mocke (kate, sayid that we know of so far) have lives that are kind of the same crappy bullshit as before. i'm Read more

@MizJenkins: the reason why mo'nique only did oprah as press for precious is because oprah produced the film. and the fact that oprah produced the film is why i think that she would be pissed—as any producer would—that a star wasn't doing more to promote it. i don't think this means that they hate each other, and i Read more

just fyi: i just tried to give someone's comment a thumbs up, but it turns out i accidentally deleted it...so sorry, whomever that was! Read more

@Thus Spake KATE!: it's not about convincing judge judy that she is a feminist. it's mostly about removing the stigma of the word. i'd think it would be better if people would stop being like, "i believe in equal opportunity but i'm not one of THOSE types." because if you believe in equal opportunity, then you ARE one Read more

@Thus Spake KATE!: i don't think it's "wasting our energy" to rethink and redirect the way that feminism is portrayed and perceived in order to be inclusive. feminism is for everybody, and it is essentially a disservice to all women for self-identified feminists to think it's pointless to make feminism more Read more

@TopLevelExecutive: if you believe that the actions of one woman has a reflection on all women, then that only reinforces the entire notion of women (as a whole) being this "thing." and we're not a "thing." we're individuals. so by saying that one woman would make it harder for all women to gain respect, you're really Read more

@Acquanetta: i didn't include it in the clip, but all the guys who were involved blamed themselves for watching/participating, and didn't blame kari ann at all, because they had a choice over whether or not to engage in her behavior. Read more

@deeemer: it's not really about convincing pro-lifers. it's more about making women more comfortable and less ashamed of their own choices, and letting women who are weighing their options between surgical and medical abortions know what is in store for them, physically. Read more

@Crunchbird: actually, i think that andrew was trying to put his drink on the ledge, and was too drunk, and it spilled, so it was totally an accident. but no matter what he did, he didn't deserve to be thrown off a balcony. that's nuts. Read more

@deeemer: i think a lot more people read twitter than read books or pamphlets. it's a lot more accessible, easy to digest, and frankly, reaches a wider audience at a faster speed. i think it's the perfect medium for such a message. Read more

@bellejay: also, she was wearing her wedding ring when she was holding the drink, and then it was missing when she was reading the will and the camera seemed to linger on that. at first i thought it was a blooper, but now i think it's intentional. hmm... Read more

@shnuguel: well, with all the time traveling, ghosts and whispers and seeing walt appear on the island when he was home with michael, you never really know about this stuff. it's not linear, or even real, so i think it might be aaron, as he has the most familial ties to the island (his mom, grandpa, uncle) Read more
