I guess Lucas said if we're going to make fun of his shitty movies, we're going to at least pay him first. Oh well, on to iTunes.

There has been a rash of karaoke questions recently. Is this a thing for hipsters?

Nice!!! Good job, Kickpuncher. Suck it, Lucas. I'm watching this shit for free!

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/howard-duck-removed-netflix-1311529/ Someone tipped off Lucas. Snitches get stitches.

I concur. This movie is basically upskirt shots mixed in with crazy acting by Faye Dunaway. Also, the main plot is basically a catfight for the dude in the movie. If you thought Catwoman set women back, you haven't seen Supergirl.

Yeah, we miss Doug.

Dammit! Netflix just took it out of their instant offerings as well. What the fuck?!! Did someone tip Lucas off to the FYI poll? He's making this shit unavailable left and right.

I remember seeing this as a kid and feeling naughty because it was the first time I saw a girl in her underwear. Usually my mom was quick on covering my eyes, but she was slack on this movie.

You can say whatever you want to say, man. Just don't dictate to anyone how to take it.

Should I use your promo code or HDTGM's? I kinda like their show better, but you gave me the idea. I'm torn.

Probably. [note to Shannon: I didn't "call" this person a racist; I just agreed with their self-assessment]

One day you'll live the dream, brother!

He's not an idiot; he's from Arkansas.

And which one of you babies cried to Shannon? If you wanna tell racist jokes, get a job in The Onion writer's room. If you wanna make prejudiced statements about minorities, go to the Fox News forums; they'll love you there. If you say some racist bullshit here, I'm going confront you on it and call the ideas you have stupid because they are. Jesus, what a bunch of whiny sona....

If this history of the word is not apart of the definition of context, then what the hell is it? If you say it is the situation, then you need to get some books on language and history and read up, because it is you who doesn't really know what is going on.

The context of the word did not change in ten minutes. It is still a racial slur. Still used for hate. Dr. Who didn't go back in time and erase slavery or Jim Crow, so the word is still tied up with that as well. Do you disregard all of this when you speak of "context"? Your intent is what I believe it to be. Or in your world, does the person who getting the slur thrown at them have no POV at all?

Hannity, O'Reily and Corolla are your heroes. Now those are some white men who don't give a fuck about minorities, just like you. And I hope one day you reach racist nirvana.

Is it paranoia if you take someone using a racial slur at you in a negative way? Did the word slur have a positive connotation where you're from?

When someone lists all of this suffering and the respondent says, "So what." Then its not an assumption that they don't see black people as human. It's not even a real leap to make that statement.

I'm quite familiar with it, thank you. The context has not changed; the word is still a racial slur. Your intent was a double "fuck you" -- you got to write the slur and be condescending in one statement. Still hurt. Your intent didn't matter.

Black people aren't humans to him. He's probably a very kind man. Loves pets and the outdoors and good music and all of that good stuff. It's just that he doesn't see black people as human. Very nice, man, I'm sure, but he when he sees a black person he sees a sort of troglodyte beast that he can control. Certainly not a human; something between a human and an ape.

I love when they were ragging on Andrew for qualifying his statement about the writers who keep up this racist stereotypes that they mentioned Andrew was privileging the feelings of the writer over a section of the nation. I would like to point out that Besser and crew didn't mention the minorities who these stereotypes affect at any time and say, "hey what about the impact on them?" It was more about making sure Arkansas and Chicago don't look as racist as they are.

This is why you're idiot.

Its a fucking racial slur, that context is not going to change. You want to focus on how you dehumanized me but not really? Here's a lesson to you, I still am reminded of how people think I'm no better than a lump of dog shit. I am telling you that it does not change for the person who the slur is directed at. It does not change at all. That's why your arguments of "intent" are bullshit. With the context and the history of the word, I'll just go ahead and think that anyone who uses it is no friend of mine. Because what idiot would think that because they didn't mean a racial slur in that way, that it automatically cancels out centuries of use of people using it in harmful way. What fuckhead would ever think that?

I ran out of likes today, but I want to give this the "preach on" treatment.
