Oscar Trivia Correct

Unless Olivier directed one movie called "Hamlet" and acted in another movie, the same year, also called "Hamlet"

Are you sure...

You don't mean a "To Tell The Truth" parody?

Understandable

You seem to have Scalia and Cheney mixed up in the article, which is not surprings since they are both evil balding white men.

Original article: Who wants to be a MILF?

Stupid marketers...

If you are going to have a line of baby clothes called Pimpfants, then for god's sake, at least try to live up to the brand expectation.

Slogan on the babywear should be "My Mommy is a M.Y.L.F" (Mom You'd Like To F***), and should have a mommy editable area below which says something like "And you can for _______". Mommy could write in there exactly what her baby is pimping her for...Candy? Pimped out rims for the stroller? A gem encrusted rattler? A crunked-out sippy chalice?

I think I feel a bout of Cafepress coming on...Onesies that say "Are You My Baby Daddy?" and "Wanna take my mommy on a playdate?" will proably also make me millions...

Another T-Shirt

Kevin Andrew Murphy, thank you.

I now envision a t-shirt with a (public domain) portrait of Mary with the words "Virgin, Teen, MILF" above it, and below it "Hat Trick for Joseph".

I'm going to go pack my bags for my upcoming trip to hell now.

Condoms and HPV

I thought that the "condoms don't stop HPV" stuff had already been disproved by studies in the years since they started making that claim.

Not, understand, that I am saying they don't still use it. I guess just wonder why they won't keep using that old argument even with a vaccine available as in "Condoms don't stop the strains of HPV that the vaccine does not stop, therefore, we should not be using condoms or the vaccine. Also, aspirin can't cure cancer, so we should stop using aspirin as well."

Defending Neil Diamond

gonnabechef, I have to disagree on the idea of "America" as a conservative song. The watering down of White America by the mongrel immigrant stock may bring tears to conservative eyes, but they are not tears of joy. I'm pretty sure they would even shoot that cute mouse Fievel at the border.

As far as what would qualify, I'm thinking anything by Godsmack...

Where's Patrick?

More important than the whereabouts of Karl Rove, has anyone seen Patrick Fitzgerald since the alleged meeting? Have there been any sightings of mysterious jet's taking off for locations unknown since the meeting? After all, I'm pretty sure that indicting Karl Rove is a treasonous offense, and just being a U.S. citizan is not going to prevent Patrick's extraordinary rendition to Uzbekistan...

It's a Great Idea

I've long been in favor of anything allows employees to integrate their work lives and their real lives. My experience has always been that the company that is willing to work with their employees - whether it's allowing a parent to care for a newborn onsite, take time off to care for a sick child without repercussions or (and I am not drawing a parallel with babies here) bring their dog to work - are the companies that succeed beyond expectations.

If you do the minimum possible for you people, they will do the same for you; if you go the extra mile for them you will probably find that them willing to go an extra two for you.

Original article: Finale wrap-up: "Lost"

Excellent commentary

I too was disappointed by the season finale, not because of it's content, but because I know whave to wait for the their d season to start.

However, I have a new mystery to unravel in the coming coming months, one that will only be solved by piecing together tiny clues that will be provided once a week or so here on Salon.

Has the sarcastic, flippant, "more than a little mean, but wonderful none the less" Heather been replaced by a thoughtful television critic? Will she no longer call her readers various food products? Will she still watch all of the worst reality television in order to make us feel better about the fact that we watch it as well?

Was it the marriage that did this? Has she been replaced by some sort of Stepford Wife?

Only time will tell...

Oh...also...

Richard - yeah, what about the foot?!?!

Personally, I was more disturbed by the four toes than by the fact the rest of it was missing. I'm pretty sure it's something like "The Colossus of Springfield" - giant stature to Homer Simpson that once stood astride the harbor...

Original article: Let's play group sex

I guess I'm not clear...

...on why these dolls would be a problem, while the Bratz dolls are everywhere. Is it because while the Bratz dolls promote a really weird kind of tween sexual image they do so while also promoting consumerism (like Barbie), while the Pussycat Dolls Dolls would not have enough accessories to teach young girls that happiness only comes from buying clothes, purses and shoes?

Can somebody give me a hand here?

Riff-Off

The real crime here is that these no-talent hacks have been ripping off Sir-Mix-A-Lot's material, mutilating his work, and then vomiting it back out on us with absolutely no shame that we might recognize them for the biters that they are.

I thought the song was a rip off of "Glamorous Life" by Sheila E...Did Sir Mix-a-lot rip that off? I ws appalled today to hear some hip-hop song that take a riff from The Waitresses "I Know What Boys Like" - I hope they got paid for that...

tomreedtoon

For that matter, in regards to another letter, I don't think Havrilesky has changed her spots either, and she's preparing to vomit hot cynanide all over her readers any minute now.

Of course, I hope that you are right.
