I need some Jilli style advice, I think. I'm going bananas trying to come up with a new look.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She's making Kevin Federline look like the stable one, which is really...something.

I need to find something to do. Maybe I'll make some spreadsheets.

What is even happening?
Relatedly, Craig Ferguson did an interesting monologue on why he won't be making jokes about Britney: [link]
I'm not positive I share his POV but it's true the video and pictures of her after she shaved her head looked pathetic and troubling rather than entertaining in a tabloid way.
I know what you mean, but I am positive I respect his point of view and am glad he's made it public. She is vulnerable, and she is (to me) a baby, and the humor to be found in her sad circumstances isn't (to me) worth it.
I'd read excerpts of his monologue, but that's the first time I heard the whole thing. I love him. I'm going to have to start TiVoing his show.

Poor thing. I kind of hope her ex is holding their kids over her head and making her go in and stay put for a full course of treatment.
yeah, apparently, he's said that if she doesn''t finish rehab, he's going to petition for full custody.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think the Britney thing is funny, but I do think the K Fed shit before was. I'm not sure where the line is.
Craig's monologue weirds me out, and I'm not sure I can put my finger on it. Maybe it's just that either you're the sort that mines other people's tragedy for humour, or you aren't. Why try and get extra points for making a banner announcing your conversion?

If it bends, it's funny; if it breaks it's not funny.

My co-workers and I just had a discussion in which we decided that the world has now entered The Ascendecy of The K-Fed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not watching the Ferguson clip right now, but I do love him in general.
