Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Check out this new Burger King ad: [link]

WTF were they thinking? (It's offensive.)

They were probably thinking that it would appeal to Apatow-loving dudebros.

That's *really* offensive.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So you're saying he's not not nude hiking?

Nice work by Mrs. Sanford. What a little Lady Macbeth she is.

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

Nice work by Mrs. Sanford. What a little Lady Macbeth she is.

It's kind of refreshing to see a politician's wife opt "Throw his ass to the wolves" isntead of "Stand By Your Man."

“Not dead yet!”

I come back from going to the movies and discover that Natter has 'sploded with state gov't asshattery (not unexpected) and really offensive ads from BK (also, sadly, not unexpected-- may never eat there ever again).

He may have done some nude hiking in Argentina.

I heard the BK ads are from another country, FWIW.

He may have done some nude hiking in Argentina.

So THAT'S what the kids are calling it these days.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, I was almost ready to believe the "hiking in Argentina" story. I must not be as cynical as I thought. Or more gullible. It's just that as 'unlikely excuses' go, it was weird enough to be plausible.

I have the wacky idea that objectification of women and portraying them as blow-up dolls is offensive in *any* country.

You know, if he had been hiking the Appalachian Trial naked, it would have raised my respect level. I mean, it's a little wacky, but I'm cool with the wacky. Argentina booty call, NSM.
