They don’t ban people anymore do they?
Those “warnings” must really be serious!

Do you have an email address I can send a couple things to?

Do You Want a Popular Tumblr Post?
Quote something I said several years ago on my old personal blog—now password protected, so you’ll need to take time out of your day hounding The Wayback Machine (or you could just email me for the log in)—post it on your Tumblr and there you go. Also, if you mail me a self-addressed, stamped envelope, I can send you some of my used toilet...

Who pissed in her guitar!? →
She’s just so edgy.

http://tv.gawker.com/comment/34604871/ I do not understand why people have the need to bomb a perfectly sweet video with their own contrary, irrelevant childhood experiences. Other people being happy are not doing it to, in fact, to spite you.
Like they said, they’re bitter.

I don’t know if I like this Tumblr or not; I’ve been reading Jezebel for a while and it was my first feminist resource. Here’s what I think (though you probably don’t care): you’re disrespectful, sarcastic, honest and mean. However, you have many points and I can see how dealing with stupidity will cause you to go batshit crazy and stop playing...
“Sometimes, people freak the fuck out over no big deal whatsoever. I take a lot...”
– Guess who said this? Hint: her blog is now password protected but there is a workaround way to access it.
Role models? Who needs feminist role models when we can have this?

Cute.
You think you just need an apartment and cooking skills to be a good parent?
I think you’re 19 and an idiot.
bigwinnie asked: I tried sending this earlier, but my internet connection timed out and it might not have been sent. I just wanted to apologise for my rude, self-absorbed and off topic post. I was trying to be flip about the fact that the wedding industry is so over the top it's led to big newspapers having wedding sections that run stories like this, and failed. I like to think this is not representative of...

Ever see that episode of The Simpsons where the advertisements come to life and terrorize the town? Eventually Springfield realizes if they stop paying attention to them they’ll go away.
I just don’t understand why people send me whiny messages, or whiny reblogs and expect anything other than contempt. Then they go over to GT to complain when I didn’t respond in kind, basically...
well shit.

What is the point of this comment and why was it promoted? http://jezebel.com/comment/33677188/
The point? To pat ourselves on the back, naturally!
I wrote that original comment. Looking back, I feel badly about what I wrote. I didn’t realize how awful it sounded, and it’s a reminder to carefully screen my thoughts before I put them in such a...
Why Gawker Got Hacked, What is Gnosis, And Are You... →
Hm, this person is a dick. I wonder what comment got them approved and who did the approving.
Hey guys? Guys? How about we stop approving people like this?

Does the media show an unrealistic portrayal of childbirth? Sure.
Are childfree women challenged EVERY FUCKING TIME they bring up their childfree status? Yes. What world is someone living in if they think no one challenges women who don’t want children?
The world isn’t suffering from depopulation. There’s no reason to encourage people who don’t want children that they...

90% of the comments on the VS racism post are about…the commenters and what they think about VS bras and VS stores and their own bra sizes and their own boobies. Sigh.
90% of Jezebel commenters are suffering from narcissism. Every post is about me! And it’s an invitation to write about issues I should have hashed out in my journal 10 years ago!

The TyLiPink commenter is a (quite young, I assume) teenager who, erm, tries really hard. I saw this comment in particular a few weeks ago and thought of submitting it, but I felt kind of mean and like I was picking on a kid: http://jezebel.com/comment/32325780/
I’m really not fond of most teenagers.
Which I guess I’m being unfair. Most jezebel commenters...
I have a good idea for the title of Tracie's book

“How I Set Up a Teen Mom Charity Scam”
Ohh! I wonder how much money Tracy the teen mom kids collected!
