Most people are too scared to write plain english.

What these kids will come up with these days...

Along with the sweater-muffins, that makes a nice set.

Crap. Sorry. I have to admit to sometimes conflating you two.

Hopefully only one.

That's odd. In my mind, I sometimes conflate dtb and gwinky. But then they stop kissing for a second and regain their individuality.

Yeah, I think that's it.

If only everyone was an arrogant, know-it-all blowhard like me, everything would be better.

Oh, wait.

That's not conflating. That's commingling.

I based my opinion on the nature of his typos, not the volume. Adder will have the wrong word at the heart of 48% of his posts. I do have a higher percentage of overall mistakes, but they tend to be background, as opposed to his mistakes, which are too often center stage.

I always find the lyrics to hip hop music so confusing. I couldn't understand a thing they were saying.

Getting an early start today?

And as this used to be a place where such things are discussed, check out the hand wringing over the use of sex and nudity on HBO's Game of Thrones on Jezebel.

First, the two scenes she specifically points out do actually serve a purpose. The first gives insight into Littlefinger's character at a point in the story when his slippery dangerous has not been established. The second demonstrates one of the ways Littlefinger became such a powerful self made man in a feudal world.

Both could, of course, been done in less licentious ways, but (a) what's wrong with some nudity and sex and (b) they are trying to get viewers.

But beyond that, what's with the whole attitude that nudity and sex are bad things television aimed at adults, and worse, should be something that turns off women. There seem to be some strange underlying assumptions about women and attitudes towards sex through that whole piece.

I tend to agree with you. Also, the sex in that first scene played an important function: How the hell else does Littlefinger get to give a monologue, that he actually believes his audience cares to hear, and without being interrupted? A lengthy speech about "this is what happened to me to get me where I am" is one of the toughest things to do in TV/movies. You can do it in a novel -- it's an extended flashback, or its the omniscient narrator giving backstory. But it is hard as hell in TV, and almost always looks fake. Game of Thrones has set up several contexts where these back-stories actually work. Littlefinger recites his history with the Starks to two whores, who don't interrupt because they are fooling around. Tyrion recites the story of his first "marriage" as part of a drinking game. In the books those were done differently, but that's because books can.


Also, I need to see as much good tits and pussy as I can on Game of Thrones, to compensate for the fact that I had to see Hodor's penis.
