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

most boring overheardinnewyork ever?

Totally.

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

neither am I. that's incredibly offensive, and I'm not even Jewish.

neither is she for that matter

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.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Was it this season, or the Faux-documentary a couple years ago that's the issue?

I think it was from this season--I didn't see it, just read about it at TWoP.
