"But this, the images; if I had seen them on TV, I would have expected them to be 18-age rated."

:lol:
 
Any decent parent would have told their child that’s what happens to kids who don’t behave themselves in the shop

That is just ridiculous. How many Bond films have there been? Is it in the 40's yet, if any franchise needs to explore a different take on a character it is this. Creatively it makes sense, and Elba is great.
 
Apple has been criticised by feminists for designing iPhones which are ‘too big’ for the average female hand..

Caroline Criado Perez, the feminist campaigner behind the Millicent Fawcett statue in Parliament Square and the Jane Austen ten pound note, said she developed repetitive strain injury from using a phone which was too big for her hand.

She told The Telegraph: “I genuinely have RSI from having an iPhone 6, and it went as soon as I switched to an iPhone SE.

"It genuinely does affect women's hand health, women do buy more iPhones than men, it just baffles me that Apple doesn't design with our bodies in mind.

"We should be furious about this, we are paying just as much money for it as men for a product that doesn't work as well for us.


"I have to make a choice between making an upgrade to the only phone that fits my hand before they discontinue it - soon there will be no iPhone that fits the average woman’s hand size - even though the technology is two years out of date. Or get a new one and deal with the fact that it'll give me RSI. That's not an acceptable choice in the 21st century, you need to have a smartphone.”

What a disgrace that this evil company is forcing these feminists to use their phones. They really should sue them.
 
The vicar's wife near my mum's house is a whinging bugger. She is always complaining about things to everyone. The window cleaner came last week and she started whinging again. He said "I know, but I still love you.". The fecking old bag called the police for sexual harrassment.
 
I genuinely have no idea if this Tweet, and the comments that follow it (have a read down) are a parody or genuine:



(Edit): am I missing some broader context here?

They want to counter this:
In September 2018, Mark Saltzman, one of the script and songwriters for Sesame Street, revealed in an interview with Queerty that Bert and Ernie were analogs for his own intimate relationship with film editor Arnold Glassman, with whom he had been together for over 20 years.[7][8] Despite the fact that he began working for Sesame Street fifteen years after Bert's first appearance, Sesame Workshop responded by claiming that Bert and Ernie don't have a sexual orientation because they are puppets.

I read a few replies to that tweet and it reminded me why I don’t use twitter.

For me, the most interesting bit of this kerfuffle is why Sesame Street felt obliged to tweet that clarification?

Yeah, I mean people will rightly call it a storm in a tea cup because, well, it is, but it doesn't exactly paint Sesame Street in the best light that they felt so uncomfortable about the prospect of two of their characters being written, or interpreted, as a gay couple that they needed to make a public statement denying it. It seems unlikely to me that they'd do the same if their writer and given an interview talking about a heterosexual relationship.

And anyway, Barthes would tell you that the author is dead. If you've written a gay couple which audiences interpret and understand as a gay couple, does it matter if you didn't mean to do it in the first place?
 
I thought this reply was on the numbers:



In response to this: “I created Bert,” says Frank Oz. “I know what and who he is.” And no, he isn’t gay", Danny John-Jules said this: "Imagine how many fathers say that about there sons every day ...."

It would be a great reply if the two things were even the same.
 
Creating an autonomous human is a little different to creating a character.
 
:lol: That is amazing. Is mother earth really a guy born in the wrong solar system, and is she flat chested, is that why the earth is flat? These are questions that soon demands to be answered
 
Again, not sure if parody:
