It's interesting that every woman out there has at least one physical aspect that is considered sexually arousing and/or fetish worthy by guys...

You have big boobs? There are guys that are into that.

Small boobs? No worries, there are guys into that too.

Big ass? There are guys that are into that.

No ass? There are guys that are into that.

Really hairy? There are guys that are into that.

Hairless / shaved? There are guys that are into that.

Skinny? There are guys that are into that.

Average size / athletic? There are guys that are into that.

You are a fat-positive, 400 lb SSBBW who demands society shower you with nothing but esteem-affirming compliments as you inhale your 14th Krispy Kreme of the day?

Yup, u guessed it: There are guys that are into that!

**************

Sadly, it doesn't work the other way gender-wise...

When was the last time you heard of women who were into men with belly paunches?

Or men with small penii?

Does that automatically mean I'm a jingoistic Red Stater with an IQ of 70?

Does my satisfaction that Batman prevails (oops, was that a spoiler?) automatically mean I am a xenophobic, warmongerin' neocon?

I have no problems with people who didn't like this movie.

I DO have problems with people who knee-jerk reflexively dismiss those who DID like this movie as unwashed masses of mouth-breathing fanboys.

Does that make me a troglodyte who should be limited to only watching films that star Ashton Kutscher and Tara Reid?

________________

Ahhh, popular culture. The last realm of society where *ahem* "intellectual" elitist snobs can flaunt their bigotry against those who would dare to contradict their psuedo-aphoristic opinions and taste.

I'm off to watch a film from my Werner Herzog collection...while I munch on *gasp!* non-organic, butter-covered popcorn made by the epitome of mainstream, popular/populist, unwashed plebian snack suppliers: Mr. Orville Reddenbacher.

Because the Overlords of Discerning Counter-Culture Taste found out I didn't consider myself too superior to watch/like the Dark Knight.

What a sad, sad day: I am no longer allowed to listen to Sleater-Kinney and Artic Monkey...

And I am no longer allowed to watch films about gay Croatian orphans...or any movie made for less than $5 million dollars.

And I am no longer allowed to brandish my hipper-than-thou self-righteous sneer against non-vegans who don't wear 100% fair-trade, all-hemp apparel.

Woe is me!

I hope you Overlords of Taste all choke on your Kashi.

Keef, that last panel was as hilarious as slapstick gets...kinda reminds me of the scene in "Shrek 3" where the baby ogre deluges Shrek with a tsunami of puke!

Hang in there, my dear sleepy-headed comic auteur - when he starts pre-school 3 years from now, you'll be able to doze uninterrupted for more than 15 mins. once again! =)

I never laughed once at any of those shows. Smarmy, smug winking jokes - especially from arrogant assholes like Alan Alda - just't aren't my cup of tea.

Will Ferrell's approach to humor can and does fail, but when it hits the sweet spot (as it so often does), I laugh my arse off.

And please stop comparing Ferrell to Dane Cook and Adam Sandler. Equating these three makes no damn sense at all!

Ferrell - Funny, talented, can be humorous one many levels

Sandler - Capable of humor on only one level, but has his moments

Cook - not funny, not talented, no level of skill or appeal, does not deserve to procreate, should be forcibly sterilized

Cheers,

Lonewolfy

P.S. - To the elitist highbrows who treat slapstick like it is a non-organic, non-macrobiotic banana: "The Three Stooges" reruns and popularity will outlast you all. Just sayin'...

I'm a long-time X-Files and Scully fan, but I couldn't bring myself to read Rebecca's article beyond the first sentence.

Exactly why is it mandatory to have an annoyingly knee-jerk reflexive bash at IronMan and The Dark Knight (both of which feature positive, empowered female characters - played by Gweneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal respectively) in a story about your girlcrush on Scully?

You have a strong, female character you admire. Fine. But why can't males have the same?

I loved IronMan and TDK. And I love Scully.

And reflexive Women's Studies 1001 "Male-oriented (insert art form here, e.g. movies) suck" thinking continues to play a big role in why I call myself an egalitarian and not a feminist.

-- The Abstinence White Push-Up Bra with Falsies ("because second base is no place for double-plays")

-- The Abstinence White 9-inch heel Knee-High (Don't-)Fuck-Me Boots

-- The Abstinence White Pheromone Perfume Spray

Any others that I missed? ;-P

(Re: Robin Finck}

he is better than what Axl Rose is doing with G'n'R and he is better than what Trent Reznor is doing with NIN.

In all fairness, Axl is at least trying the path less traveled with "Chinese Democracy" - with mixed results so far, IMHO.

The last NIN single I heard, "Discipline", wasn't too bad - but pretty much stayed true to formula.

I agree that Finck is a decent guitarist - and he was certainly a better Slash fill-in than Buckethead!

And watch the Democratic Party lose the most winnable election in history.

I'll tell all of ya the same thing I told MN progressive "purists" when they started hatin' on Sen. Wellstone (RIP) for daring to not blindly follow the 'liberal' agenda:

Join the Workers World Party, already. Feel free to continue pissing and moaning over there. Throw in some good talk about evil capitalist world conspiracies, too.

We remaining Dems? We'll happily help right the direction of this country under President Obama.
