Dear Kelly: Thank you for making my favorite medium-sized pop culture blog become a wonderland of all things Cumberbatch. Nothing funny here, just appreciation.
I want someone do to a summer jam about the summer of dong. PLEASE. Because if one doesn't come out, I'm going to have to form an electroclash band called PRIAPUS and make it myself.
Okay, so I am an American living in London and I spent all day yesterday angry at the whole Todd Akin thing, and then this morning I wake up and find that a left-wing member of Parliament has defended Julian Assange against charges that he had nonconsensual sex with a woman while she was asleep (or as regular people like to call it, rape) with the quote: "Not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion." UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I need to find a country without rape apologists. Maybe Antarctica?
Thank you, Aunt Martha, for pointing that out.
And as a side note on legitimate, Akin has noted that he meant to say "forcible" instead of "legitimate," which all goes back to the House bill that tried to define "forcible" rape so as to make victims of statutory rape ineligible for Medicaid coverage of their abortions. This is great news for all of those 22-year-old creepos who date high schoolers, eh?
And guys, I don't know if you saw the correction where he says he misspoke because he didn't mean to say legitimate rape, but forcible rape? OH MY OVARIES HURT SO MUCH AT THIS DOUCHEBAGGERY.
Before I watched the trailer for The Letter, I thought the top photo referred to Lady Mary. And although I love Winona Ryder, I would like to see Lady Mary go toe-to-toe with James Franco in a movie.
But that's the thing. When I was 20 years old and angry and running around on stage in my underwear and a half-shaved head yelling about unfair expectations for women's bodies, I was creating AWFUL art. However, no one was proposing to arrest me for it because the freedom of speech allows us to make awful art. That doesn't mean everyone needs to consume it, or needs to agree with it.
Facetaco, I was set to violently disagree with you, but the mere mention of Wang Chung sent me into a nostalgia spiral that is likely to last beyond the span of this thread.
I'll drive a million miles...to be with you tonight...
I love cat stories! I too have a non-asshole cat who loves to spend her days getting chin scratches. When she is not getting those, she tends to lie on her back with all of her bits on display. It is very obscene.
My asshole cat also loves getting petted and cuddled, but I think she is just using affection to hide her true asshole nature.
My tiny cat is totally an asshole cat, pulling that move at five in the morning every day. Rings, ibuprofen, deodorant, pens. She will use any item on any counter to make her presence known.
Also, before people get all nitpicky and note that Rob played the vampire, not the werewolf, I think Starlee makes a good point about his hair and in truth, he is probably a werewolf in real life. Why do you think he looked so tired on GMA? Full moon, am i right?
Starlee, you win all the love for remembering that Chris O'Donnell film that my sister made me watch over and over and over again because she thought he was so cute.
