affablyevilMisha Collins' minions made a real live charity. I am laughing so hard at this. Celebrity dictatorships are a srs bsns. I'm sure the man in question is equal parts startled and delighted. Naturally, there's potential for abuse, so I like the protip of "up to $5."
Speaking of which, Newsweek wrote an article about how celebrity narratives are "The Greatest Show on Earth," which is supposedly a defense of tabloid culture. Okay, now give yourself a moment to throw up in your mouth after processing that. I find it interesting because it proves I am incredibly prescient (except not, since when did we start talking about the cult of celebrity? Wasn't it right around that guy in Germany started shouting? Oh wait, the Victorian era? Earlier?), but also when it comes to RPF at least the emphasis and awareness is on the fiction. Yes, the accusations of forced closeted gay lifestyles or whatever applied to reality are ridiculous and abhorrent, but we see so much worse examples in the way the media acts that we're just adapting those as socially normal.
I'm very much of the camp of "Oh you adore each other, hooray!" rather than interest in who's up to what or passive aggressively seething at a total stranger for scoring someone I will never meet. I mean, of course there are some celebrities I want to burn in hell (or a jail cell) forever, but that's a justice thing.
I am sitting in the airport and I will be in America in like 14 hours; I am so stoked to be able to use Hulu and CW streaming and Pandora and crap again.
Also this meta on Dean and food is totally spot on to me, and convinces me even more that John was the most incapable parent ever.
