  1. Alright - you're really gonna have to elaborate on this one.
  2. You know what use to bring down the house comedically and have 'em rolling in the aisles? Blackface. With that example, the case on whether what is considered to be "comedically acceptable" changes over time is closed.
  3. I can all but assure you that from her perspective, the "connection" involves handing over more money. If it doesn't, then she's not particularly good at her "job".
  4. Here is a history of QBs the Jets have drafted since the salad days of Ken O’Brien: Christian Hackenberg Bryce Petty Tajh Boyd Geno Smith Greg McElroy Mark Sanchez Erik Ainge Kellen Clemens Brad Smith Brooks Bollinger Chad Pennington Chuck Clements Glenn Foley Jeff Blake BROWNING NAGLE Troy Taylor Bill Ransdell This is a draft history ineptitude unparalleled in its longevity and consistency. It’s the Cal Ripken Streak of Shitty QB Drafting. I sometimes wish I’d grown up a Bills fan.
  5. Saudi Arabia's state media on Monday tweeted a graphic appearing to show an Air Canada airliner heading toward the Toronto skyline in a way that recalled the September 11, 2001, terrorist hijackings of airliners that struck the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
  6. For the record, I would've voted against Montenegro joining NATO as well. And Albania And Bulgaria And Czechia And Estonia And Hungary And Latvia And Lithuania And Poland And Romania And Slovakia And Slovenia
  7. There's someone else about whom that argument was routinely made and look how that worked out for us. I'm not going to deny David's intelligence and thoughtfulness -- because it's clear to me that he IS intelligent and thoughtful -- to deny that this is something that he clearly understands.
  8. Strip clubs are pathetically boring/boringly pathetic places.
  9. Bautista has elevated this into the realm of the greater culture wars by stating that it is "nauseating” to work for a studio "who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists". This is no longer merely about defending a "raunchy" colleague -- this is now firmly within the greater social conflict being fought in this country.
  10. Once again, Bautista has seemingly taken this into the realm of a "moral issue". He used the word "nauseating" to describe working for Disney after this incident. That's a pretty harsh indictment of Disney management and one that I simply don't see how he can reconcile with continuing to work for them. He honestly seems to think that he can have his moral cake and eat it too which is where my entire disdain for his actions is coming from.
  11. For Bautista, it really does "appear" to have transcended from being solely a business disagreement into something that that has an actual moral component. Once it crosses that boundary, the options to display dissatisfaction or opposition become far more limited and those that remain are necessarily more drastic.
  12. It's the epitome of "social media slacktivism": "Look at me! I'm doing the absolute bare minimum for a cause that I supposedly believe in, but I'm not actually gonna take any real personal/professional risk because that's too hard!" Screw that noise and screw him. Hell, if I'm a Disney executive right now, I'm having my attorneys comb through his contract thoroughly to see if any grounds could be discovered to fire his ass.
  13. Apparently it's one that's not "moral enough" to opt out of the contract and incur the financial penalties. Until he's willing to do something that actually requires "pain" or "sacrifice" beyond making meaningless Twitter pontifications, he should just keep his trap shut.
  14. Modder thekempy has altered the emotional cutscene away from the limited 3rd person of the original game and into an intimate, focused first-person camera that allows you to see the work that went into the motion capture and facial animation for the scene.
  15. Just how "Japanese" is it? I mean, is it anime/Final Fantasy level Japanese which will make me want to drop more nukes?
  16. I'm surprised Ray has managed to keep this shtick going for as long as he has. And, lest we forget, Ray "obstructed justice" in a double murder investigation. If you're keeping score, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has two inductees "linked" to a pair of double murders (Ray Lewis and OJ Simpson) and one inductee who all but definitely murdered a guy (Marvin Harrison).
