And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

They are billing her as this girl who is just trying to go out and get laid, but she's having soooooo much trouble.

Is that how it's being sold? That's really not the show at all, based on the pilot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unfortunately, none of my single friends are interested in prying themselves out of the house, either

Excuse you? You're playing the other people are hermits card?

Actually, that's my point

But not mine. You just said someone that pretty shouldn't be having difficulty. The pretty doesn't fix it.

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

Urgh. I hate when someone says I haven't watched any of X, but character Y is...

And when they draw conclusions about how an actor felt about their role based on nothing other than the movie, disregarding interviews and subsequent roles. You're not having opinions, you're making stuff up.

I just got an invite to my 20th class reunion. Hasn't the advent of Facebook killed these things off, yet? Also, *cries*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You are not the only one with this question.... [link] Although apparently it's the 10 year that's really losing out.

Since the show hasn't actually aired yet, all I can base my opinion on is the trailer. Which doesn't make me want to watch the show.

Saw this quote at Think Progress:

"By the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over."

-- Rep. John Fleming (R-LA), in an interview on MSNBC, on why as a small business owner he can't afford a tax increase.
