Why are we reading about this? A lot of people were involved before this got to my face and now I hate all of them. Especially THE POLICE, who sure spent a lot of time investigating this.

I had such a crush on Kermit when I was a kid. That’s probably what makes me such an enthusiastic furry to this day.

What is WITH SNL & the gross family sketches? In the ’90s it was that family that chewed each other’s food, in the aughts we get the Vogelcheks. SNL is like the annoying kid in middle school who repeats the same joke, louder & louder, until he’s sure that EVERYONE in the room has heard it.

To be serious, though, this is the best season of SNL in years.

1 unit of Real Talk, thought: Dakota Fanning is a college student of legal age. You may have gotten to know her as a child & , while she may not have gone the Miley Cyrus route of asserting her adulthood REAL HARD, she’s still an adult. It’s kind of not her problem that you still for some reason think she’s a child even though you’re presumably familiar w/ the concept of the passage of time.

She’s greater than or equal to a lot of models, age-wise. Plenty of very sexy bikini models & underwear models. So, it’s fine? Also, is pretending you have a giant flower cock more sexualizing or more plain hilarious? Food for thought.

But Elle Fanning is a tiny child who shouldn’t be sexualized (although her ad… not really sexual. Maybe to some weirdo Riverside Park fetishists or something). I think people get confused b/c she’s tall.

You’re old to me, but only b/c I love your work over at the Hairpin.

Oh, I disagree w/ you so much! Some people have connections w/in a single network/production co. Some people work on the same types of shows over & over. People who work repeatedly w/ children aren’t necessarily child pornographers (see: early childhood educators). Also I doubt there was much “extra footage” that was sexually explicit. Your logic for identifying pedophiles is faulty, please don’t apply it.

I just meant that the Invention of Lying was not a cute look for him & made him seem both tween girlishly navel-gazey AND overbearingly superior.

It was the perfect opportunity for SNL to do a Degrassi parody (my #1 wish in this life).

Also, no TV show is ever gonna stand up to the glory of the TAL show for Showtime. Am I right or am I right?

Can we talk about TAL for a second? I, too, listened to a lot of their back catalog. Once I got thru most of it & started to only listen to more recent episodes, I noticed a marked decline in quality over time. (I’m sorry!) Also, in that WTF interview, Ira Glass sounded totally over it. I am registering my concern.

Ugh I’m wrong; it’s “MISS Chanandler Bong”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejRk40vHdhE
