It wouldn't be an open society if every awful group of people didn't have their own unfunny websites and television shows. God willing someday I can turn on Comedy Central and see a block of Barstool Sports: Presents, The Best of Tumblr, and COMEDY GOLD: Something Awful Goldmine one right after the other

Speaking of terrible New England media outlets....

ESPN apparently banned their talent from appearing on WEEI over the incredible amount of pearl clutching they did when Bomani & Israel Gutierrez pointed out that Celtics fans adore white players

Take up shelter in the base of my spine

9) Off the field, the Patriots often wear ski caps with fuzzy balls on top that make them look like 12-year-olds. The Falcons wear dark caps with “The Hood” imprinted in red, which is short for the “Brotherhood” theme preached by Coach Dan Quinn.
You’re only at the ninth reason (out of 20) that the Patriots are evil and the Falcons are good and you are Mr. Incredible-style reaching for “preferred head wear.” Sure you don’t want to rethink the premise?

You mean Mrs. Incredible? Well-executed reference, dad

http://nypost.com/2017/02/05/history-tells-us-to-be-worried-about-lady-gagas-halftime-act/

quote:

Last week, the NHL presented the last person a circumspect adult would choose as celebrity host of an All-Star weekend event — Snoop Dogg, the vulgar rapper and pornographer who needs no introduction to make bail.


BeyonceGetty Images
Dogg stayed in character, treating a Saturday family audience to the sounds of a vulgar, name-calling, N-worded, women-degrading, boastful number.

Here it is, a week later, and we still haven’t heard from the NHL, not a word of remorse, regret, apology — as if what couldn’t be missed never happened. Under Gary Bettman, no public accountability for engaging a performer who, left to the civil-minded, would appear only on the NHL’s invite list as a sarcastic joke.
