He really has that rifle because he's nervous in front of the camera. Which is just the worst marketing solution, give the nervous looking person a rifle!
Mr. Situation, I'm sorry that your earnest uplifting song is being treated in this detestable way by the members of the videogum community.

Is it racist to make someone looks like a hasidic jew, if you don't think badly of hasidic jews? Because if it is, OOPS!

Just a few posts away you agreed that it's common for guys to call each other "faggot" and now it's not common, but where you come from? Where do you come from, SOCIALISEDHOTELPRISONIA? Anyway, the point you're missing that even though homophobic, it's not on the level and in the way portrayed on videogum and tmz.
That's just it, we don't single them out, not in such a way. Someone mentioned that louis c.k. uses the same term, but he hasn't been singled out by Gabe. The whole tone of the post is that of a most horrible trespass by a very horrible individual. Not that of a usual, common trespass (and part of a larger, common problem) by a regular individual, which even though offensive, doesn't even have to indicate planned, aggressive homophobia.
In today's society we are very conscious of how horrible and damaging is to use the N-word. Being conscious of that, only someone very callous and/or racist would use it. But that is not the case with "faggot", which is very commonly used and often without a conscious or direct homophobic intent.

It's not a problem of the caliber it was presented here. Singling out Ronnie as some kind of huge homophobe for using them in short, angry outburst during a fight was unwarranted.
Of course i can't outright dismiss that most guys only call each other faggots in private, do it with calm and even tempers, and don't yell "fucking". But maybe they do if the stranger is picking a fight with them.
Also, i think we're kind of being dicks. (NO HOMO!)
Is it really right to say that it's a duh that "Cast of Jersey Shore Engage In Casual Homophobia On Regular Basis OBVIOUSLY", because Ronnie called some guy a faggot during an argument? It's on the same disingenuous, sensationalistic level as TMZ calling the 10 second clip a "Homophobic Tirade".
A 5 second clip of him calling someone a queer faggot in anger? Duh aficionado magazine: Ronnie is a regular guy and there's nothing attention-worthy about this
Imagine if the tank took down the airplane with it's canon! I can't believe hollywood had a parachuting tank being attacked by an airplane, and chose to shoot it down with a stationary machine gun. WWMBD!!!!!!! (What Would Michael Bay Do)
That's just his cover story. Or should i say a muumuu story, because a muumuu covers you when you're fat. NAILED IT! (Like fat kids being goth and all "I don't like people FIRST!!!")
I feel like this kind of making fun of people/culture has been thoroughly played out and the only new thing these guys are offering is that they're from south africa. :( :( :( Sadpost. :( When attending parties i literally poop them by clogging the toilet. :( :( :(
As long as you like "How i met your mother" where in the first 5 minutes of the latest episodes these jokes happened: "Your beer looks flat. It's not beer, it's whiskey!" (ORLY??? SWITCHAROONY!!! SHE'S HAVING A LOT OF WHISKEY, COS SHE FEELS DOWN, ALCOHOLIC DEPRESSION LOLOL) and Barney answers the phone, talks about boobs to find out it's his MOTHER!! (SWITCH-OHSNAP-A-ROONY!! YOU DON'T TALK LIKE THAT TO YOUR MOMMA!! AWWWWWKWWWAAAARDDD LOLOLES)
See how her face is partially obscured in that video? That's how we know it's supergenuine and sincere! She didn't even know they were shooting her, it was a voyeur! A beautiful kind hearted voyeur captivated by her childlike sincerity and earnest longing!
I never said leno isn't a pompous jerk, i'm saying he doesn't have brilliant, scheming foresight as you have been implying. When leno was leaving and giving his show to conan he didn't know NBC would grant him another show. And he couldn't have known that NBC, after having the determination and confidence to give conan TTS would give up on him so easily after only several months, without calculating in that the reason for conan's decreasing ratings is that it's lead-in is jay leno's horrible, ratings failing show.
Sure, jay leno took advantage of horrible NBC exec decisions, but taking advantage of idiots doesn't make you brilliant or impressive.
Also, the existence of leno's show doesn't have to do with NBC's lack of confidence in conan. If they didn't think he could do it, why shuffle the shows at all? What it has to do is their miserable misguided attempts to milk the late night format for all it's got. "Hey, let's have leno before conan to milk the super tame audiences, and then maybe even people who are waiting for conan will tune in as well!". Except it didn't work out like that.
That's a matter of opinion. You think he extended his shelf life, i think he gave himself more time to go even staler and stinkier, where he'll repulse more NBC viewers who'll switch to competing shows. And that is an example of poor decisionmaking of NBC executives and not a credit to leno's impressive foresight.
How did he extend his shelf life? Conan replaced him because of being stale, then he got another show that was stale, and then to freshen up his new stale show they moved it to it's old air time hoping it would magically unstale itself, even though in it's previous incarnation in that air time it was stale. That's not a result of a scheming mastermind, that's the luck of a dumb schmuck, who's new show will continue on a downward spiral and meet an idignant end, instead of a dignified one he could have chosen by quitting when he said he would.
That all sounds like pure chance and idiocy of NBC execs to me. He knew he was going to get pushed out of his terrible show because he sucks, but he also knew he would get another even worse show because he sucks? That guy is mr. logic! And you are mr. professor of logic studies for being able to follow that.
Why is it impressive what jay pulled off? What jay pulled off is saying he's retiring and giving his show to conan, then not retiring and getting a show before conan, then taking back conan's show. That's not impressive, that's dishonest plus not a hardworking pulled up by his bootstraps achievement but a result of incredibly bad NBC executive decision making.
This is the worst, diffuse, no real point, cowardly neutral PLUS a dick to everyone involved response to the tonight show situation, and the worst louis c.k. statement/thing louis c.k. says ever.
God gave us free will so we could decide to love him, being forced to love him doesn't feel as great for god, but because we have free will we can also decide to rape people for wearing whimsical attention-whore pants.
I don't hate this movie because it makes rape a magical fairytale, i hate it because it's a tired thriller/drama story, spruced up by superfluous and shallow supernatural elements, pretending to be a groundbreaking genre.
This doesn't force the person on the receiving end to say yes because it's not happening in real time and all eyes aren't on the proposed. Since this happened 10 other things have been posted on videogum (a majillion on the internet) and we've averted our gaze to a kitty being angry at a tickle me elmo or something. By the time she decides if she'll marry him we will have forgotten about it, and won't be reminded as she probably won't agree to or reject his proposal in the manner it was made.
If you want someone to spend the rest of your life with you, you have to show them that you care about them, and that you are prepared to go out of your way for them. ACCOMPLISHED!
Telling everyone about your intentions proves that you don't mind thousands of other women knowing you are writing them off, and that you aren't ashamed of your choice.
Having considered all that, this is in fact the most perfect proposal ever.
By that logic we either shouldn't work on stopping bad things, because bad things are still going to continue to happen anyway. And, roman polanski's raping might actually be a good thing because what kind of world would this be if it weren't a post polanski-rape one since it teaches us valuable lessons.
Yeah, you hate this controversy so much you're doing the inevitable --when the original controversy has been milked dry, do the the "the wrong person is actually in the wrong!" switcharoony and SHOCK EVERYONE AGAIN!!!! OMG-- milking.
Nice job Fox News Gabe.
