Now this? This is journalism.

And, of course, the people losing their one braincell over the fact a beer brand is presenting itself as Not Homophobic/Transphobic, are the ones who repeatedly say “You can’t say anything these days”, and who foam at the mouth over books changing racially insensitive wording, whilst advocating for the censorship of others. I so wish hypocrisy was a deadly disease,

I worked for A-B for years before they were purchased by InBev. They’ve always sponsored Pride events, it’s all part of a marketing strategy to try to appeal to as many people as possible. I personally won’t touch the stuff, beer is, in a word, gross. But I appreciate Garth Brooks taking a stand against the trolls. We need more people taking on their ‘core demographic’ to hopefully open a few minds.

Tom, I do not pay my yearly subscription to Stereogum.com for you to bail on the weekly Idol recaps we all deserve.

sorry Tom, i’m going to need a synopsis of each episode. doesn’t have to be 3000 words. what you did above was enough to make me laugh. i expect this on my desk next monday morning at 10am sharp.

Garth Brooks puncturing this absolutely insane right-wing furore on both a basic human decency level (“If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places on Lower Broadway you can go.”) AND a business-minded level (“It’s the patrons’ call… If they don’t want it, then I got to go to the distributor and say, “Man, your stuff’s not selling.””) was not what I expected when I opened the article, but go off Garth!

First time commenting, long time lurking. I was 5 in 2010 – but I still remember Dynamite, which both my sister and I were obsessed with. She would always sing “Ay oh, baby Lasko” instead of “baby, let’s go”, the first instance of her badly messing up song lyrics. Agree with Tom’s rating of an 8, but it’ll forever be a 10 in my heart. Still can’t believe this got to number one instead, first heard it after a friend suggested I queue it up after Dynamite. It’s fine, probably a 7. I miss Luda though, for a while it seemed like Da Baby was going to fill his role of “Dude always bringing the energy and having fun on a track” but that went south pretty quickly.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!

Given the random deployment of commas in these tweets, I find it impossible not to read them in the voice of Christopher Walken.
