A Question For Chris Broussard

Since you're not going to really apologize and you've decided to argue an "openly living in unrepentant sin" angle, when will you begin condemning all of the other athletes who are having sex before marriage, using drugs, abusing their significant others and drinking heavily? I think most people already know the answer.

Do you know how old the Disney Princesses are ? Cracked has has some creepy lists as of late . Add a little more MacGyver to your day. Women can know knit their own boyfriends ... ... not that men haven't given women a reason to do something like that. It only takes 90 seconds for the interviewer to figure out if they want to hire you. Want to learn how to be more successful ?  Hopefully these costumes will make it into the next movie.  Work on this and you should ace your interview.

Quote of the Day

"Making marriage your goal (instead of, say, happiness! Or compatibility!) is like saving up all your money to buy a really expensive lottery ticket." -- Linday West, in this Jezebel post .

Here's my take: if you're OK with your state/county/district/town banning books, than you shouldn't get all huffy about gun restriction in the least. And if you're best comeback is, "Books aren't guaranteed in the Constitution!" then you're completely missing the point. A world where we can shoot anyone with anything but can't read Catcher in the Rye is a twisted world.

These parasites are what we would call "control freaks." Plus, snails eat poop. Color affects your spending .  Dirty dentist may be responsible for spreading diseases/viruses.  Mad mom may have killed infant for insurance money. It appears that factions of the Bush Administration were fighting each other over Iraq's oil.  The only difference is : one's about toys, the other has zombies.  Only in a world of celebrities would anyone think this woman is fat.

Quote Of The Day

Replace the word 'marriage' with 'contract', and you see how ridiculous the argument against same sex marriage really is: "Contracts between a man and a man or a woman and a woman threatens traditional contracts between a single man and a single woman. Once you allow contracts between people of the same sex, what's next? A woman entering a contract with a dog in a state that recognizes animals as sentient beings? A man entering a business contract with a minor without their guardian's consent?" -- "spookymoster," from this Gawker story on Ben Cardin.

Tyler Perry May Want To Stick To Comedies

There's no doubt that the guy has made money by making movies to satisfy a niche Hollywood barely wants to acknowledge, but his latest effort into the world of drama/suspense appears to be somewhere between anvilicious camp to a dangerously distorted view of women and faith .

"The Walking Dead" Season 3 Finale: Give Us Your Old, Your Young, Your Socially Awkward

* The Governor is getting a little tired making all of these rest stops ( pic via ). * Coming as a person who is a die-hard LOST fan (I watched all six seasons with glee; in fact, I started re-watching them since last week), I can understand disappointment. Granted, my disappointed with LOST differed greatly compared to those who expected every friggin' secret to be revealed, but what can I say? I'm a cat who walks his own path. Anyway, I think my experience in "Shows With An Unrealistic Premise Using Realistic Characters" is pretty established, which is why I'm confused at all the early-bird hate over the Season 3 Finale of The Walking Dead. Did we get an epic, Mano-y-Mano fight worthy  of Stephen King's "The Stand?" Did the romances fans have fervently tried to ship come to fruition? Did things get wrapped up in a nice bow, so we can prepare to speculate the potential awesomeness that would surely be Season 4? Hell no. But look at w

Beating women is "badong." Thanks, Chris...and we're glad you realized that beating up women is wrong before things went too far. Otherwise, you'd be on TV during your album release saying things like this:
