I still basically love South Park even though I think they resort to a graphic depiction of violence in every episode for a shock laugh. I've wondered, though, if their 11 year anti-semitic joke has actually inspired people to rip on jews more than they might have otherwise. I think one of the creators is jewish, so I have a feeling the intent isn't to be hostile to jews. They probably want to be able to say to anyone else whose religion they rip on, "Look we make fun of jews all the time, so we're even," but I wonder if they've made people feel comfortable with hearing or saying really anti-semitic shit because they've been playing that card from their first season. It's kind of like Mother Night, right?! Mother Night is great.

I have been corrected! I apologize for my smarmy, nitpicky comment! You were right the whole time!

I'm in bankruptcy class right now so I feel comfortable judging your jealousy! He is out of money so he has to sell his stupidly expensive homes, that he likely bought on debt that he presumed he would be able to cover, at a considerable loss. His present issue is with the IRS, to whom he appears to owe six million or so dollars. It sounds like he's declaring bankruptcy and liquidating his assets to get as much as he can to his creditors before discharging whatever debt is left over. It's a shame he trusted some stupid swindler with his financial planning. If you can't trust your financial planner, you're really screwed! Like Nic Coppola here.

Sincerely, I think you've overanalyzed it.

I think Gabe is resistant to Michael Bay movies… Armageddon is at least as bad as anything ever made but it's not quite in line with this game's theme. That's fair. What can Gabe say about Pearl Harbor or Armageddon that he hasn't already said about Transformers 2 and probably Bad Boys 2 in articles unrelated to the WMOAT.

I accidentally clicked on the border of the website and it opened iTunes. Orianthi looks like Michelle Williams ten years ago.

I think she says that the guys told her that if she discontinued her relationship with Rob, she would be fired. So maybe she is referring to her choice to leave a life of sexual slavery for a role on IASIP.
