Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Considering the title on the OINY page, it's pretty offensive.Wow with the offensive.
And the not amusing even past the title makes it just somehow worst to me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wonder how that table would look with a sword as the upright? 'Cause shield and sword is a classic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does knowing it's completely par for the course make it more or less offensive?
(Asking because yes, I can see that it's an offensive title, but because that's the kind of thing OINY says all the time, and that's not even close to being the worst, it barely pinged me at all.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Problems writing Leo out of West Wing. I haven't been watching, so the whole flashforward complication from earlier this season is news to me. And this is a man/character that deserves to be written out with ceremony.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not at all. What are some of the other examples, so I can get my dander good and up? I admit, I'd not have noticed it by myself, because I hadn't realised they had titles. Never snagged my eye.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
The Hollywood Reporter is wrong (according to TWoP's forum posters)--Leo never appeared in that flash-forward episode.

Leo wasn't in the flashforward, I don't think. Nor was Donna
