The REALLY funny part isn’t the matter-of-fact phraseology of the depressing and incontrovertible truth about these fairy tales, but the outraged comments from brainwashed little girls who aren’t ready to be disillusioned (which I deleted).

I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict. I will never understand that. Now I’ve actually read in some magazines that I’m too skinny. You can never ever ever win.

YESSS Singer Chris Brown denied entry to UK:

In a statement, the Home Office said: “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns.

“Each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits,” it added.

SADY: I mean, that’s the thing. People have been calling Megan Fox “ungrateful” since forever. And I can’t figure out what she’s supposed to be grateful for. Being in the worst-reviewed film franchise of recent years? Having her ass used as a plot point and/or focus of interest for sweaty dudes who have, FOR WHATEVER BIZARRE REASON, a really strong interest in “Transformers?” Knowing the role she plays in the fantasies of said sweaty dudes, and/or professional film critics, who write her ass up as one of the view interesting points in said film franchise? Money? Sure, money. I’d be fine with money. But I get creeped out when a dude looks down my shirt on the street. Megan Fox has been, since high school, a professional Shirt down which to Look. People are just so bitter that she’s not into it! She’s not even NOT into it; she does it all the time. But she’s not like, “ohhhh, I just sit at home in my lacy underthings thinking about all you sweaty dudes and the hot things I’m going to do with your action figures when we meet.

I’M MAKING A SHIT TON OF THESE AS STICKERS AND GOING APESHIT WITH THEM

“

[This book on sexual harassment, ‘Back Off’ by Martha Langelan] reminded me that when I was in law school, I ran a daily gauntlet of men hanging out around the bar on the corner of my block in a bombed-out area of New Haven. The men kissy-kissed the air, made what I identified (having been raised in a farming area) as dog- and pig-calling sounds, belched, yelled invitations in English and Spanish, and occasionally howled in an indeterminate tongue. After trying everything else, I made up yellow cards that stated, in English and Spanish: “You have just offended a woman. This card has been chemically treated. Your prick will fall off in three days.” Then I walked the gauntlet slowly, looking each man personally in the face, and gave him a card. Looking completely startled, some shook my hand. Others mumbled, “Thank you.” Even after — for, I assure you, years — when they saw me coming they became engrossed in their shoelaces or the pigeons on the roof, or went inside for a drink.

Okay I know she causes some consternation sometimes but come on, this is great.

Pretty epic, and clearly effective.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Would you ever ask a man that question? (Laughter.) (Applause.)

MODERATOR 1: Probably not. Probably not. (Applause.)
