  1. 1999. Of course, people only cared about this in the same sense that they cared about Michael Phelps.
  2. Intriguing meta-narrative going on. In this episode, Parker and Stone essentially said "Yeah, we don't enjoy doing this anymore and we know it's gotten shittier, but sometimes it's best to stick with what you know." As a fan of the show, I honestly don't know whether to be offended or impressed by the honesty.
  3. No **** it's hypothetical, that's why the point is to sarcastically over-analyze everything.
  4. There are like 10 human women total in the Star Wars universe (original trilogy) and Leia was the only hot one.
  5. I took this to mean one round in bed with Hope vs. one beer at the Cantina with Han. Hope wins.
  6. You mean I don't have to listen to that stupid ass song anymore? Let's try to formulate a way to trick Coldplay into making a Hitler reference.
  7. This is the overwhelming logic, and yet...the guy is simply an outstanding football player.
  8. How is Welker not in the top-10?
  9. I can see it from that perspective. The onus should be on the masses to parse the meaningful messages from the meaningless ones, but I suppose it's naive to think that will ever happen on a large scale.
  10. Why shouldn't we tolerate celebrities expressing their political views? Despite all the caustic rhetoric on this board, I never see anything along the lines of "Well you're just a *insert profession*. Stick to that and don't tell me your politics.". The difference, of course, is that the public is grotesquely infatuated with their favorite actor's or favorite musician's opinions but that can hardly be blamed on the celebrity.
  11. I wonder if they'll give him the option of being fired by Jennifer Lopez.
  12. It ain't easy being white. IT AIN'T EASY BEING BROWN. All this pressure to be bright. I GOT KIDS ALL OVER TOWN!
  13. If I have to endure the nickname for unique page views, so be it. As I said in the article, the new episodes might be a little awkward and ring hollow but I'm greatly anticipating the movie.
  14. To both the small and big screens. Big news for any fan of the show. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/catching-up-with-the-stars-of-arrested-development/
  15. "They HAVE TO win all home games..."
  16. I believe the average prognosis for prostate cancer is significantly better than for breast cancer, as it tends to be less aggressive. So the rate of prevalence may be similar, but that doesn't mean we can equate the two. That said, I believe that there is an undeniable bias toward women's health in our country.
  17. The premise of your thread is ridiculous.
  18. If you believe in freedom of speech, why would you be outraged over ABC/ESPN exercising it?
  19. So what about all those other game-changing touchdowns he's scored over the last 20 games?
  20. Ok, an analogy is a type of comparison. Thanks for the semantics lesson. The point is that the subject of comparison was the meeting, not the man. If he had said "That would be like Elmer Fudd golfing with Bugs Bunny" would that be a statement comparing Obama to Elmer Fudd? Granted, I didn't see the follow-up comments, which are a little bit more incendiary. But like Tom said, it's !@#$ing Hank Williams Jr.!
  21. "There's certain things called civil liberties, which are limitations on democracy. Those aren't going so great, but the 1st amendment in this country, I think, is one of the few things that's left in this country that I think are among the greatest in the world." I'd have a lot more respect for these idiots if they just said "I have no !@#$ing clue what I'm talking about, but I enjoy it when people pay attention to me."
  22. In response to the post's title, I know stuff. Just nothing about this.
  23. Lost in this whole flap is the seeming fact that nobody understands the difference between a comparison and an analogy. It was a stupid analogy to make, but in no way was Obama compared to Hitler.
  24. Would you say that she's the best approximately 26 days out of the month?
