“Forest fire? The best! LOL YOLO” -nobody ever, also, this guy.

Okay, so we’re all pretty clear on why this guy isn’t a fire fighter any more right?

Those babies have astonishing motor skills and also astonishing brains if they invented this game on their own. Guys, I think we just met our new baby overlords. All rubber bands must be sent to them immediately as tribute.

Those babies are the perfect birthday present on a day when I am at work on my birthday! (please don’t leave your real babies on my doorstep, that would not be a good present)

Are you implying that there’s something else that liberal white people possibly do to deal with issues like racism or inequality except write indignant and outraged blogs and post tweets and maybe even take an instagram selfie of themselves looking sad? I mean, do you want me to text a dollar to the latest disaster campaign so that we can all forget about it by next weekend? I will do that for you because I love you, but only if in return I get a banner for my Facebook wall so everyone knows how altruistic I am. “You’re welcome world!” -liberal white people

Oh and thanks for asking about my day Johnny Depp/Gabe, so far I have lived up to my awkward expectations by spending my birthday on a recess yard (shooting photos for work) in East Harlem getting hit on by little kids. Nothing like being macked on by a third grader on your birthday to make you feel young again!

It’s almost comical, in a terrible way, that they are reusing a show/movie concept from an era where racism rant rampant in film, particularly in Westerns, and here they are using the same racist model of what is referred to here as “red face”. Of course it was particularly striking for Native American characters, who were often played by white people or sometimes by Hispanic persons, but also for the occasional Mexican or Chinese characters in these films/shows that were also more often than not played by white people! Red/Brown/Yellow face is a very real issue in film, and totally inexcusable in an era where there are bound to be more actors and actresses of all races and types that are more than capable. I have no issue with the costuming, as film is after all an art with lots of creative/fantastical liberties, but if you are portraying a supposed character or type of character that really existed in history, like a Native American, maybe you should…I dunno this is kinda crazy…cast a Native American actor?

Guys, I can’t find Miss Utah on a map. #notmissusamaterial

Ohhhh so her problem was just in translating her Arabic thoughts into spoken English? Man, USA owes you an apology such as I am sorry for the making fun of you and such!

RIP Miss South Carolina. I will always remember the times we had such as South Africa, and The Iraq, everywhere, like, such as. Gone but not forgotten.

You and me both SpecialK! I was actually a little bummed that the one time (maybe ever?) I WON the Monsters Ball, and everyone, including Gabe’s post!, is like “wellll…what a lack luster week…no one good commented, everything was boring…real Monsters Ball next week” Dang, ya’ll, just dang.

I’m considering this MB my early birthday present, thanks Videogum! Let bday weekend commence.

Happy Birthday H-Man! (sorry the same Videogum problems everyone has been having kept me from getting on here later yesterday). I think we need to have a drink or five one day, you live in my former home town, our birthdays are a few days apart, we’re both VG monsters, and sadly we both recently lost our fathers (this is my second father’s day without him).

Hope you had the best birthday and best to you and your fam on Sunday. <3

Sorry Dads, I’m zonked. Can you just wake me up when its time for the Monster’s Ball, or when you’ve finished carving the Thanksgiving turkey, or building that car in the garage/boat in the basement/model train set in the attic or whatever it is Dad’s do for fun?

What I mean by that, is that society is more accepting of seeing them. And more used to seeing them in a non sexualized manner, ala breastfeeding. I did NOT mean that breasts, or women, are not over-sexualized or objectified. That is certainly so.

Can we just agree that the world needs more nude Jon Snow? I think that is in the Bill of Rights, or is it the Constitution?

Jeb, didn’t you read your man-ual? Any time a woman is disagreeable, it is because she is on her period. Oh also, any time a woman is not interested in any man sexually, it is because she is a lesbian.

(I’ve been trying to leave that comment ^ as a reply for Superglue for like the last hour, but due to Videogum sexism/oppression, have not been able to do so!)

 0Posted on Jun 14th | re: We Live In A Post-Bridesmaids World (43 comments)

“I’m just trying to see some dong sometimes” is actually the golden snitch of Videogum, you win the Monster’s Ball Superglue!

I prefer the term “Cavatar”, thank you

Haven’t been able to comment for like the last hour, have I reached the glass ceiling of comments?

 0Posted on Jun 14th | re: This Week In GIFs! (3 comments)

Comments not working for me, augh!

 0Posted on Jun 14th | re: We Live In A Post-Bridesmaids World (43 comments)

Well at least we have one thing we can do well in ladies, VIDEOGUM. Yes, we really shattered that glass ceiling of commenting, quipping, and judging celebrities from behind the guise of usernames and cute pictures of awkward cats/rainicorns/tina feys. I think we can take a moment, put our feet up, laugh together over a salad, and realize that we’ve finally arrived.

Okay I semi agree with this. OF COURSE there should be more naked dudes on that show, Jon Snow, are you even listening?But we live in a culture where breasts are somehow less sexualized, probably because they are seen more often in non-sexual ways, what with breastfeeding and all, than our other bits. So I don’t think its so much that women are the only ones being naked, its just that as a society we’d probably find it too shocking to see penises and vaginas every 8 minutes on GOT, or at least less shocking than we seem to find seeing boobs every 8 minutes.

I for one, am all for everyone calming down about Puritanical sexual values and boob liberation. Oh and also all about more naked Jon Snow. Who can I call about this?
