I feel like MA should automatically get an A for MIT and Harvard. Screw Western Mass...they're just bring us down.
I liked when she retold her version at the party ("I woke up with a squirrel in my mouth") and Josh goes, "She's kidding. We went camping last night." (I'm sure that's not verbatim, but you know)
Why did you pick such a terrible cast picture for the headline? At least give me one from season 2 or something.
Thank you, kind sir/madam. That has just made my day. :) (Even if it is only one tiny frog)
I was thinking more like a cartoonish tower, like the tiny frogs are trying to reach something on the top shelf.
The statement "Along the way, he learns that human nature is inherently corrupted and that no society is ever perfect, and that everybody has their own weird beliefs and cultural disputes" is ABSOLUTELY false. The whole point of Gulliver's character is that he's incapable of learning anything - hence the reason he pretends to be a horse for the rest of his life. WE are supposed to be benefit from Swift's satire because it is painfully obvious that Gulliver never will. Plus, the critiques of the "other societies" are often critiques of English imperialism, more so than another country or culture, and are designed to lampoon England's ridiculous habits. Believe me, Swift had no interest in edifying anyone, just excoriating them.
That said, otherwise a fun article and I like the premise.

I understand the copyright infringement aspect of it you're pointing to, but isn't it overall a positive thing? Celebrities (whether flesh-and-blood or 2-D) advertise effectively. People listen to famous characters they look up to. For something as vital as monthly self-exams, what could possibly be socially wrong with taking advantage of a good opportunity to reach the female population that enjoys comic books? I actually particularly like the copy on these ads; I think they're great creatively, and very unique. I wish we had them in the US.
I was really hoping for a photo of two tiny frogs stacked on a dime. I'm a little sad now.
PS this is why I don't have children. My laziness/selfishness would outweigh good parenting.
I agree with the benefits (and in my mind, ethnical aspects) of allowing your child to chose whether or not to follow one religion or another. That said, if I want to expose my kid to church then *I* have to take her and that's the last thing I want to do. I hated going as a child and I don't think I can stand it as an adult. I'm firmly against religious schools, so that's out. Can I just let her watch Veggie Tales? Does that count?
That's an amazingly hot picture. Thank you.
Since you're so interested, I'd love to see you write a ff about it. I'll be your first reader :)
Yeah, see I was trying to avoid that realization. It's a giant's hand, obviously.
Well honestly it doesn't make sense reading it, either. Yu is really stretching. It's a cool concept, but he tries too hard to include like...every science fiction thing he can think of and relies heavily upon your just accepting his incredibly bullshit "theory" of time travel, etc. Not that I'm supporting a *real* theory of time travel but his version is like "well you push this button." Whimsical is probably a good word, because it's sort of a fan tribute to multiple science fiction memes. I actually think it could make a much better movie than a book.
See I'm waiting for the non-medical marijuana law. Then we can talk. I want the "artistic inspiration marijuana" or the "I just found this awesome laser light show in Hackettstown that's like twelve dollars to go so you wanna get high and go marijuana." Etc.
I'm going to pretend this is just zoomed REALLY in.
I used to watch this *all* the time as a kid. Man, I miss being that age.
I'm really happy that about fifty percent of the comments on this article are pictures of people with a lot of teeth.
I really wish our popular culture were not in such a state that "vampirically inclined" constitutes its own fan category. I want to reject that category as falling under the "sci fi" aegis. At least the gifts you chose were either referring to acceptable vampires or were parodies of shitty vampires. Also, if my partner is reading this, I would like the inflatable Dalek, please.
Chris Martin needs to be much closer to the bottom - as you pointed out, he does nothing but stand there.
