Someone post a RL picture of Quintain please.

I can't stand Michelle Bachman, and I hope she dies in a fire, but I have to say that the infamous "hiding in the bushes" photo is total BS. You can clearly see from the shape of her body that she is sitting down, facing away from the protest. The only reason it looks like she is hiding in the bushes is because there is a hedge between her and where the person who took the photo was standing. Taken from a different angle it's a woman sat next to a hedge.

Anyone know if there is supposed to be any new Dark Millennium stuff previewed this year?

For what it's worth, you can read my take on it here if you like.

Yeah, you're right. A complete Oscar-baiter. You can tell that by all the endless press he ISN'T doing. It's a real giveaway.

I thought this film was a huge disappointment and a metaphorical failure in my opinion.  Even though the visual scenes were phenomenal, it was too artsy - but annoying artsy... like that Family Guy episode where the clown is flipping the pancake in black and white.  

There's just a bunch of random scenes of different things (a stair, a spiral, etc.) and I just think that it was a metaphorical bomb, not to mention that the way the Director depicted the family was, in my view, totally unrealistic.  Oh and like 85% of the whole movie is people whispering. God that was fucking annoying.  

Stupid Oscar bait, like "American Beauty". You paid money to see it?

What an absolutely ridiculous comment. All that says is you know fuck all about movies. Terrence Malick has made all of five films (including this one) since 1973. He Made Days of Heaven in 1978 and then didn't make The Thin Red Line for TWENTY YEARS. He wasn't there at Cannes when the film premiered (and won the Palme d'Or, btw), nor has he personally spoken to any press whatsoever about this movie. I don't think he really gives a flying fuck about winning an Oscar, do you?

The court ruled in her favor and now she can masturbate at work

BRAZIL, May 11, 2011.- A woman aged 36 was enabled by the justice to masturbate in her workplace because she has a strange disease.

This is the story of Ana Catarina Bezerra Silvares, an employee of an accounting firm, a divorced mother of three who lives in the village Vila Velha, Espírito Santo.

The woman suffers from a rare condition known as “compulsion orgasmic”, caused by a chemical alteration in the brain region of the cortex, which leads her to masturbate several times a day to relieve the deep anguish that it causes.

Under this circumstance, Bezerra started legal proceedings with the company where she works that eventually won and that enables to masturbate for 15 minutes every two hours, besides using the computer to see erotic images that stimulate her desire.

The Brazilian newspaper North Regiao reported that the woman confessed, “There was a day I had to masturbate 47 times”, adding: “I began to suppose that this could not be normal, and decided to seek help.”

Currently, Bezerra follows a treatment that includes a potent cocktail of sedatives which gets her to “only” masturbate 18 times a day.

Scratch that. Even Quintain wouldn't be so culturally insensitive as to offer to pay them in Tacos. Tacos and the implied approval of a white man?

Yep. Being made to feel as if you're drowning, over and over, while strapped helpless and upside down is just "uncomfortable", right Quintain. Nothing but a little bit of an inconvenience, really.

Deranged Penguin - Encounters at the end of the world

...that sad duck with his spilled glass of juice. Thanks.

Firefly may very well be the best series ever canceled after one season.   Though Pushing Daisies makes that a "may very well be..." instead of a "definitely is..."

American Gothic...Studio 60...Twin Peaks (One and half seasons).

He doesn't have "dozens" he has three or four at a time. And he doesn't "treat them like shit." It's not like he bends one over his desk and beats her bare ass while he makes the other three take turns sucking his cock. It's like any other working environment. He just doesn't pay them cash money. They are compensated in the form of exposure for their work and a regular byline that they can add to their portfolio. I don't agree with it, but it is not at all uncommon in the field on journalism these days. Doubt me all you want. It only means that you're a fool.

Alright, let's follow your thinking through then. Suppose you reply to one of those adverts, saying that you are interested in their unpaid internship position. Do they then, in your mind, send you a reply saying: "Hahaha, we don't really offer unpaid internships. It was just lulz and you fell for it, you bellend!" Is that what happens?

Look, here are just a few examples pulled off of Craigslist for NY writing/editing jobs, all from the last few days.

This one promises an internship at "one of the top blogging networks in the world." It's unpaid.

This one looking for someone to fact check for them, where duties will also include light proof reading. It's unpaid.

Here is one for a Literary Agency. It's unpaid.

Do you see what I'm getting at?
