I Really Don't Want to Have to Name My Baby 'Norbit.'

@Kolea: I know the restaurant closed, but yeah he's a weirdo nightmare.
How great was it that under his name, instead of being the exec chef at Xie Xie (R.I.P.) this time around Angelo is the president of the "Sosa Consulting Group," which, if you didn't know, specializes in Asian food and mail-order brides.
@MagImpalor is a god damn spy.: The two institutions (the CC and the truck stop) were actually connected.
Have you ever seen a Taco Bell/KFC combo building? Think sort of like that. The brave girls there were too savvy to fall for it though. God bless 'em.

@blackbirdfly(ingundertheradar): Yikes, if you don't get the intent, I'm guessing you went to FSU. Because I'm being entirely, completely serious. Sorority matters are not a joke.
This scam was initially attempted at the local community college/truckstop, but when it yielded no results, the perpetrator reportedly moved on to FSU.
eh, this isn't exactly like m.i.a. tweeting hirshberg's address. the staffer was responding (however inappropriately) to an attack that turned out to be incredibly hypocritical.
also...carpetbagger? sounds like a leftover insult from the democratic candidate in the 1888 congressional election.

@darkmstr: Perhaps. I agree it has nothing on the Ben Quayle ad in terms of comedic value.
I am shocked, SHOCKED that the majority of Gawker commenters don't find this ad hilariously stupid.
I am sure this "what's the big deal" stance has nothing AT ALL to do with the congressman's party affiliation.

@KarmaChameleon: So now I'm a wrestling fan?! I think you're confusing "wrestling fan" with "critical thinker." I have to admit, that's not a mistake that gets made very often.
@SparklyTempest: I'll be honest; I don't like the message this sends about women, but I'd put its potential to damage somewhere above beer commercials and below porn. That is to say, not something I believe McMahon should be flogged in the streets for.
@Donovanesque: It's gross, but it's grossness as a form of entertainment. My argument is that characters are being objectified, not people.
Major overreaction here. This is like thinking someone is an asshole for writing a play where a woman is mistreated.
I have friends who have worked for WWE corporate, and they've assured me women (although not necessarily their performance alteregos) are always treated with respect and that there's a healthy working environment.
I'm sure you could dig up a couple of examples of how men are objectified in wrestling too. Why? Because it's an entertainment product that is being marketed to a specific audience. Everyone is playing a character. I thought the last time I'd have to say this was to my six-year-old cousin, but wrestling isn't real.

@gertymac: Yeah, there did seem to be a lot of meta wink wink-ing in there. Which, you know, made me feel totally in on it and awesome.
Well, there was the pregnancy problems answer. Awesome.
Countdown to Post's "Snook gets Booked!" headline in 3...2...1...
Man, I thought getting my defunct AC unit repaired would be the best news of the day, but this wins.
Julie's a fantastic writer (but then, you already knew that). I got to talking with her once and emailed her subsequently, and she took the time to give me some very sound career advice. She's a class act and such a fucking talent.

@Irksome: Maybe that makes sense; I'm not sure. The fact that you called your umbrella a "parasol" made it impossible for me to process anything other than how ridiculous that is.
