Today we heard that a racial slur lawsuit against American Apparel had finally been settled. Seems someone was repeatedly called "the N-word," which is not good. What is good is that the comment inspired this, uh, inspired comment from a reader.
Today we were once again bemoaning that everything's broke and the future is doomed. This led to a discussion of economics and politics and whatnot, which led to a good joke. Here it is!
Today we laughed at all the chumps and suckers (chuckers? sumps?) who waste their time at film school. But wait, is that unfair? Is it a waste of time? Well, that depends, reasoned one commenter.
Today we told you about a rude mother-in-law who sent her rude daughter-in-law a rude email about her manners. There was lots of rudeness and mother-in-law bashing going around. But what's even worse than an awful mother-in-law is an awful mother.
Today we heard that all the gay professors are biased, according to a survey of Texas college students. Who are these young people who are always crying bias? Well, some of them are young libertarians, keened one commenter.
Today we heard that actor Shia LaBeouf has maybe been shagging and telling in magazine interviews, which is sorta rude. Was he always this rude? Yes he was, claims one commenter.
Today we saw an amusing clip of presidential candidate/jewel-eyed angel of vengeance Michele Bachmann (R-Land of the Lost) inadvertently comparing herself to John Wayne Gacy, prolific rapist and serial killer. Terrific! Man, she's always making mistakes, isn't she? She is, says one commenter.
Today we looked at a dumb way to pick a personal trainer, an important issue here in the United States of Blubmerica. What do us Blubmericans need to do to look good? Well, stop relying on personal trainers, suggests one commenter.
Today we heard the zany story of a university president, a pimping professor, and a hooker named Krispi Kreme. Good story! But why are these people in trouble? That's ridiculous, says one commenter.
Today we remarked upon how hilariously awful the New York Observer's op-eds really are. They're pretty awful! What future awfulness awaits us? Some commenters speculated.
Today we heard the troubling news that even the Amish are sending illicit sexts. Sext messages to 12-year-olds are not good! What are good? Amish jokes! So here's one.
Today we heard the news that private schools are getting even more expensive, thus closing their gates to ever more poor, downtrodden upper-middle-classers. But you know what? Who cares! Private school is for jerks. So says one commenter, anyway.
Today we watched a promo for Keith Olbermann's new show in which he talks about media bias and whatnot. So he's sort of a windbag! But maybe he's kinda right? One commenter agreed.
Today we heard the happy news that Natalie Portman gave birth to a son yesterday. Good for her! It's rather amazing that she did it actually, one commenter points out.
Today we heard the news that the wacky Europeans over at Airbus are designing a new super plane that will feature sex hibachis and gay Facebook or something. Read the article. But all that is unnecessary clutter. Let's be more practical here, argues one commenter.
Today we heard about a Hooters-related war currently ongoing on Long Island. What is the deal with Hooters anyway? What kind of people go there? One commenter analyzed.
Today we heard about a new trend sweeping Europe: Naked hiking! Sounds exciting and freeing, doesn't it? What could possibly go wrong? Well, one commenter knows just what.
Today we once again waded into the ever raging debate of whether or not the suburbs suck. All you New York-dwelling cityphiles came out hot-to-trot on city living, but one commenter suggests that you don't even know where you live.
Next Thursday evening, June 16, Gawker is hosting a screening of Page One, Andrew Rossi's new documentary chronicling a year in the life of the New York Times media desk, on our roof deck. And we have an extra pair of tickets, just for you!
