Earlier this week, Kelly asked me why it was so hard these days to find good subject matter for A Friendly Chat, and I pointed out that it is summer, and that running a website in summer is always difficult. (Boo hoo, our lives are the hardest out of all the lives, I am sure.) But it really is different during the summer. You would think that in a world full of idiots, those idiots would say and do idiotic stuff that you could squeeze a few paragraphs out of, but I guess all the idiots are too busy enjoying themselves. God bless, idiots! So it gets quiet. And you feel like you’re rubbing two stones together to make nothing. What I’m saying is, why are we letting all of the idiots have all the fun?! LET’S GET OUT THERE, DUMB DUMBS! LET’S GET OUT THERE AND DO IT UP! But first, let us celebrate our accomplishments this week.

After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, the winner of the Better Kristen Stewart Car Pranks Caption Contest, and the Editor’s and Associate Editor’s Choices.

		I agree completely, citizenchristy. This image – even if you don’t know the context at all – is such a strong one that it shouldn’t just be posted at the top of a site like this. (The image even showed up on my feedly reader.)

[Assoc. Ed. Note: While I am sorry that this scene was spoiled, it is, in fairness, a scene that aired a year ago. And, while it is a strong image, it’s not an image that is inherently “spoiler-y.” It’s not like we showed a picture of [spoiler] standing there with [spoiler] his [spoiler] [spoilered]. You know? We wouldn’t post a large spoiler without warning, but enough time has passed that I think it’s okay if we, a pop culture blog, show an image from a scene.]

		I think celebrity gossip would be so much more entertaining if it were all written in the style of Gossip Girl blasts. “We all know that a well-stocked closet is a happy closet, but clothes are meant to be flaunted! Looks like W is hoarding her Hermès when she should be sharing her Chanel.”
