I'd like to see Spader's Reddington character and Miller's Sherlock Holmes character face off in a crossover. I think their styles are complimentary - Max Nov 25, 14:26

Have we seen the clip of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul doing the final script reading? -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 13:50 [youtube] 1
- yes -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 13:55
where is CQ? he needs to up his game - next house needs an outdoor bathtub, like this.... -- (link) - Andie Nov 25, 13:46 2
- amazing. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 14:00
- I think I saw this in a cialis commercial. -- nm - pmb Nov 25, 13:53
Katy Perry's geisha performance at the AMAs... racist or not? -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 13:44 41
- I was waiting for a wardrobe malfunction and I was left disappointed. That's what I took away from it -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 15:12
- I find it interesting, given the headline, that the only two people being quoted who are calling this racist aren't Asian -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 14:39 2
  - Calling out people for being racist is something "white people like" -- nm - Roger More Nov 25, 14:43
  - three, even -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 14:42
- though I also see why the Chinesse and Japanesse can get pissy at their cultures being combined - Jovian Nov 25, 14:24 9
  - Don't mistake the governments' being at odds (which they often are) and their people - con_carne Nov 25, 14:32
  - maybe, but *that's* racist. -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:26 7
    - thats not racist! they do hate each other! - Jovian Nov 25, 14:32 6
      - That's just what someone who'd done that would say... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 25, 15:05
      - right, but they hate each other because they're racist! It's an outrage! -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:35 4
        
        unless I just racially profiled their outrage. oops. -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:36 3
        
        why do you hate...what, I'm confused...whatever you hate, Max? -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 14:39 2
        
        White people are terrible at figuring out racism. -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:48 1

- ...!" complained the diner, as he finished his plate of "General Tso Chicken" and reached for a fortune cookie. -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:20
- As a white person, and not an Asian, I don't think I can accurately judge. I don't see it equalling "dressing in blackface" though. - JaxSean Nov 25, 14:19 8
  - Just equivocating, but it might be more along the lines of someone dressing "American" by wearing an Uncle Sam suit with a mountie hat -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 14:47 2
    - those bastards!!!! -- nm - groiny Nov 25, 14:53 1
      - Exactly. Part of the sensitivity might be that geisha culture is on the way out and people would hate for it to be remembered incorrectly - con_carne Nov 25, 15:00
  - All of those *can* be - there's a long history of Westerners mocking Asian culture from a position of superiority. -- nm - Roger More Nov 25, 14:29 4
    - But this didn't seem to be mocking in any way. The outrage generally seems to be a white person in Asian garb. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 14:30 3
      - I'm talking about the examples in Jax's IM generally, not Katy Perry's performance. - Roger More Nov 25, 14:40
      - I'm thinking the outrage is PR plants trying to get some media attention for Ms. Perry - Epiphany Nov 25, 14:31 1
        
        well, thank god she is not trying to out crazy Miley. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 25, 14:37
- I totally had to click on the white privilege hashtag. It was what you'd expect. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 14:15 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Like Twitter isn't already the Comment Section of the entire Internet -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 14:44
    - I'll pay it gladly. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 14:29
- how about "Katy Perry blah blah blah = hot no matter what" - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 25, 14:11
- It's not like she was singing African Child. Do you want to string up the Beatles for dressing like Ravi Shankar? -- nm - Max Nov 25, 14:11
- Boobs... er what? -- nm - Qale as Folk Nov 25, 14:09
- i'll take bugs bunny doing a parody of the Barber of Seville as a slur on all fine italians -- nm - thanksgeisting Nov 25, 14:06

- I ended up going to a strip club with the at the time live in boyfriend. This was after our family dinner. odd - Epiphany Nov 25, 14:04 4
  - There's a lot of partying after dinner. Most people are off the next day so the bars, clubs, etc., are jumping on Thanksgiving night. - Krusty Nov 25, 14:11 2
    - The night before Thanksgiving is actually considered one of the biggest bar days of the year (like Halloween or New Years eve). -- nm - pmb Nov 25, 14:14
