    The Big Picture: Off Target - Don't Censor Me Part 2

    Once again Bob, I feel the need to remind you that censorship does not need to be from a government. Merriam-Webster defines "censor" as "to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable; also: to suppress or delete as objectionable" That is exactly what Target did...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    I liked this episode because censorship is one of those words that gets bandied around all the time by asshats looking for an excuse to keep being asshats, but I do disagree with Bob on a couple details. I would argue that what happened to the Dixie Chicks was censorship of a kind...

    Virtual Hotties

    I must have missed this, what exactly is the Nothing Else reference? I guess I didn't see the thread or whatever.

    Hasbro is Crowdsourcing Official Monopoly House Rules on Facebook

    Are you joking? I hope you're joking. The railroads are possibly the greatest properties in the game. They're absurdly powerful and give you an enormous return on investment. If you get all four, they pay back their full price every time they're landed on, they take up four spaces on the...

    Hasbro is Crowdsourcing Official Monopoly House Rules on Facebook

    I find it amusing that the main complaint people have about Monopoly is the games take too long, then they add in a bunch of rules like the first two that just make the game last way longer. More money means a longer game. I play without any house rules and I've completed games in half an hour...

    Escape to the Movies: Muppets Most Wanted - Not Easy Being Green

    I assume you're referring to the mirror joke, which I feel the need to tell you is much older than the Duck Soup performance. The first film I can think of having it is Floorwalker starring Charlie Chaplin, which came out in 1916. There's even a play from 1894 called My Friend From India which...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 11: The Magical Place

    Yeah, except Coulson didn't go to heaven. He just went black, then Tahiti. If anyone stole him away from paradise, it was Centipede when they robbed him of sandy beaches and replaced it with brain surgery.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 11: The Magical Place

    I'm confused as to why Coulson is so pissed about all this. I mean, I can understand his problems not knowing what happened, but now that he knows, what's the problem? They brought him back to life (some appreciation for that might be in order), but the process was traumatic so they gave him...

    Judge Refuses To Dismiss League of Legends Terrorist Threat Case

    If this kid gets convicted, I might have to go break him out of jail myself. OH WAIT! Saying that is clearly an illegal THREAT! Someone report me, I obviously deserve 8 years of jail time for this blatant and dangerous act of terrorism. Or perhaps the previous statement was sarcasm, not...

    "Why not just watch porn?"

    Okay, I didn't think I'd have to clarify this, and I'm also pretty sure you're both being intentionally obtuse, but whatever. No shit it's appropriate in Terrance and Phillip. Except I'm not talking about Terrance and Phillip, now am I? I'm talking about Fullmetal Alchemist. So do you...

    "Why not just watch porn?"

    With the example of Fullmetal Alchemist, imagine if the comedy in the show was instead replaced with Ed just farting on Al, Terrance and Phillip style. That's what the ecchi in HSOTD feels like to me. It feels just as relevant and just as appropriate.

    "Why not just watch porn?"

    My point is that just because it was in their original vision doesn't make it good. Art is made to be consumed and thus is only as good or as valuable as the consumer deems it. If an aspect is loved by the creator, but disliked by everyone else, then it is not a good aspect. Now whether or...

    "Why not just watch porn?"

    Shia-Neko-Chan is, or at least definitely seems to be. Sorry to call you out man, but I'm with this one.

    "Why not just watch porn?"

    What a lot of people seem to be missing here is that art is created to be consumed by someone else. I'm an actor and if I put on a show, I want to get feedback. My artistic decision might be to play a character comically, but if everyone comes up and says "that didn't work, he should have been...

    I don't understand tipping culture...

    If they paid minimum wage, I probably wouldn't tip like I do. As it is, they are allowed to pay less than minimum wage to servers because they get tips and those tips are taxed. So not paying a tip here isn't some noble sentiment, it's actively denying people the salary they work hard to make...
