Sadness about all those terrible tragedies really doesn't change the fact that the best path for African-Americans to combat racism is the Obama route, not the Jesse Jackson / Al Sharpton / Louis Farrakhan route.

Which is to say, once more: Do you wish for oppressed minority groups to rise up?

Then spread the message: quite marginalizing thyselves with identity politics.

Embrace the politics of intellect and individual thinking. Bigots will be powerless against you then.

Shaved and trimmed are fine...but there is something wonderfully primal and raw about giving oral pleasure to a woman with an intact bush.

I think the hairs help trap delightful pheromonal scents; moreover, the sensation of the furry patch against one's face is a peculiar mix of softness and roughness at the same time...just an exquisite experience for the giver.

Yeah, yeah, TMI indeed - but someone had to say it! Let those gardens grow, girls...=)

Butt fat holds the universe together?

As an M.D. PhD. Gluteologist, I can unequivocally say from my decades of research that this is indeed true!

Which is why I send a "Thank You" ecard to J-Lo, Kim Kardashian and all the women from the great nation of Brazil every day...

If a woman were to insert a newborn-baby sized object into her vagina, would she have a wonderful, mind-blowing orgasm?

Would an elongated squash, say, or an 8-lb baby watermelon do the trick?

And furthermore: I'm guessing that very few - if any - penii can come close to approximating the width of a baby; does that mean that almost no man can give his female lover a mind-blowing orgasm?

And that Porno was *gasp* right all along?

{Friendships among women}

There have been movies...Waitress, Steel Magnolias and Beaches come to mind...but in the realm of juvenile or fantasy fiction, it seems there must always be males.

"Sex and the City", "Designing Women", "Ya-Ya Sisterhood", etc etc...there have been countless movies and TV shows dedicated solely to friendships amongst females. And they have all been successful at finding an audience.

Maybe girls just get their stories, from films and TV, and boys get their stories from reading books.*

------------

{Your 'all boys are threatened by female protagonist' insinuation}

ls can read a story with no female protagonist and still identify happily, but boys don't seem to be able to make the same leap.

Riiiight. That's why men such as myself can never be fans of "Bones", "The X-Files", "Chuck", the Terminator films and other stories and series with strong female protagonists...or of Nancy Drew mystery books and Harry Potter tales (with Hermoine clearly being a heroine in her own right).

Except, wait a minute...turns out that many, many males have indeed enjoyed such tales which feature strong female protagonists!

Sadly, I think this has to do with the relative status of male and female in our society.

*sigh* Sadly, I think your spouting of sweeping generalizations about males has to do with a double standard between the genders:

Men make ridiculous stereotypes about females = sexist and wrong (see my asterisked, tongue-in-cheek statement above)

BUT

Women like yourself make equally ridiculous stereotypes about men = feminist and right

------------------

Mind you, I'm not advocating anything in particular, here (down, feminists...down!) I like most women just fine...the exceptions being the ones who smugly believe they can speak universal truths about male culture merely because they observed the reactions of a couple boys.

Sincerely,

Your Straw Man Troll

Fred Armisen plays a deaf guy who can't hear what another cast member says. His deafness renders him an incompetent buffoon.

...and the NEXT time, Fred Armisen plays a person with Down's Syndrome (with appropriate makeup). He drools on himself, picks his nose and happily mumbles, "I'm a tard! I'm special!" His retardedness renders him an incompetent buffoon.

...and the NEXT time, Fred Armisen plays an Iraq vet with no legs in a wheelchair. He starts an office job, only to struggle to get a file from an upper cabinet. Because he is a legless gimp, you see. His disability renders him and incompetent buffoon.

---------------

If karma did indeed exist, Armisen would have concentrated sulfuric acid get splashed into both eyes, rendering him permanently blind. Now I for one would laugh at that! Would you?

And by the way: if Armisen or any other SNL character made fun - and I don't mean parodying or teasing, but actual humiliation-type 2nd grade humor like a blind guy holding a chart upside-down - of an ethnic minority or a gay or lesbian person, would he/they get a free pass?

Of course not. Because we believe that racial minority and GLBT people are worthy of respect.

Disabled people, though? Laugh all you want. Especially if they are deaf, 'cos they can't even hear you.

Hahaha! Funny, right?!?

You nailed it in a nutshell.

I was never a supporter of Bob Dole...but during those mid-90's SNL political skits parodying him, I give props to Norm MacDonald for not using Dole's disabled arm to try to eek out cheap laughs. Mockin' Dole's weird third-person only references, though, was classic!

If Fred Armisen was the one doing the Dole impression, it would be one tired, lame, humiliation-for-laughs routine just making fun of Dole's arm disability...

Look, he lacks the arm strength to hold this chart up! Laugh now, please!

To those saying don't be too sensitive: I am a HUGE fan of the Simpsons, South Park and other forms of edge-pushing satirical comedy.

And I have a pretty thick skin and great humor tolerance in general.

But in the same way that "blackface" is not funny, humiliating the disabled just ain't funny either, people.
