The Herald is so bad that this verges on being a non-story

xp to Tuomas

Oh. The person I wrote that comment to also made a Dead Prez reference but I assumed she meant Dead Presidents and I didn't follow that up with any more thoughts.

hey nakh how do you feel about pampered chef

Pretty sure Jerry Holbert's going to be rated around No. 50 or so in the ILX Comics poll.

idk pampered chef is not really a thing around here in liberal ma, it is also a wholly owned subsidiary of berkshire hathaway which is not a good look for me right now
super into rad scandinavian food right now and watching anything related to noma on youtube
rene redzepi is just multiple iterations of next level

my sister threw a pampered chef party and we bought a couple of things

xp the newer bourdain show (parts unknown?) did a pretty good ep on noma if you haven't already checked it out

i want proof that dude's kids were actually using watermelon toothpaste

tbh I've almost bought the kids watermelon toothpaste a few times when looking for travel sized toothpaste

Other flavors I passed on: bubblegum

This was in China tho

why didn't this cartoonist thought of fried chicken toothpaste

the thing I love is that the cartoonist straight up came forward and realized he maybe picked the wrong fruit, but the Boston Herald went with that old college newspaper standard of HE WAS JUST SATIRIZING RACISM SOMEHOW every time some kid doodles a sambo

very constructive post (xpost)

Cartoon was at that level of stupidity and ignorance.

I know you all aren't saying "Well, here's an example of watermelon toothpaste. I don't know what the big deal is." I know this, right?

Yeah but why sink to that level xp

fair enough

I would've all wrote "Hey, Obama! Figure a Socialist like you would be using Arm & Hammer!"

I feel that was half-hearted but I will always root for Osama thumbs-up

my wife found some notes on a comedy sketch in progress (or is it an actual starbucks order???) on the ground by an apartment building up the street.

A friend-of-friend on facebook posted this. The outrage about being sent the wrong donor sperm is in the right, but making a case that it's extra damaging because now they have a black kid in a racist town is... uhh...

"I don't want her to ever feel like she's an outcast," Cramblett told NBC News.

Not all her friends and family members are racially sensitive.

Sorry, I can't babysit for my grandchild because she's black? jesus christ

tbf she does need to move the fuck out of Racisttown, Ohio, but this angle in the lawsuit is going to do wonders for this kid's psyche some day

towns that look like oniontowns but aren't

tbf, a being black kid born to a lesbian couple in that part of the country sounds like you're going to have a bad time of things

""Getting a young daughter's hair cut is not particularly stressful for most mothers, but to Jennifer it is not a routine matter, because Payton has hair typical of an African American girl," the suit says. "To get a decent cut, Jennifer must travel to a black neighborhood, far from where she lives..."

jfc

btw the answer to this thread's question is always, invariably, yes

I can't even begin to process this

Oh come on, you can't post that and not this:

I've been through Uniontown many times, and if anything, I'm shocked to discover that there is an out lesbian couple living there. It's about 98-99% white and not lacking in Confederate flag stickers on bumpers. (Yes, Confederate flag stickers in Uniontown. I know.)

how on earth is the kid going to process this, from her own mother? that she's not good enough?

This should be linked to as well: http://jezebel.com/mom-suing-sperm-bank-over-biracial-baby-gives-on-camera-1641750642

In the segment from Fox 8 News in Cleveland, Cramblett stresses that she is taking legal action not because she doesn't love her biracial daughter Payton, but because of the gross neglect committed by Midwestern Sperm Bank.

"She just has a way about her that lights up the room," Cramblett says of Payton. "...I would... never imagine my life without her."

"I was just floored by the fact that [the insemination] was so easily messed up," she added.

I mean for better or worse the woman clearly has a malpractice case. And she doesn't appear to want her daughter to bear any of the brunt of this.

This woman absolutely has a case. It's just that pursuing this case seems destined to completely destroy her daughter, particularly when she reads all of this for herself.

Oh God, they gave me a Lutheran by mistake.
