    At the risk of being labeled a pervert (and having absolutely no defense) it surprises me that no one has mentioned the obvious....this girl is downright HOT. HOT i say. I am almost tempted to quit my job here at the elementary school and simply stalk this child forever. That's enough for now.

    Ham, this is the third instance of segregation in two days. AA, Ling-Lee, and SJP have all gotten separate posts by separate authors at Gawker and Jezebel. Good fences may make good neighbors, but it also cuts down on the entertainingly gratuitous violence.

    But this is the UK: they're used to their 23-yr-olds looking like Amy Winehouse (AW=45 in US years). This young woman only looks about 5 to them, put a cigarette in her mouth, 10, tops

    Their hoodie sweatshirts are awesome and the only thing worth going to American Apparel for. I've heard their T-shirts are good too, but I hate the way they fit, so bleh.

    Their ads suck big donkey balls, which come to think of it, will likely be the theme of their next campaign. (With the tagline ASS).

    Goddamn it, if you're going to use sex to sell products so blatantly, please make the people look like they might possibly be slightly interested in sex some day. The look on that lady is one step above asleep.

    What sort of fucking idiot can't see that girl's age?

    People today are so warped by makeup and disgusting beauty standards that they have lost any and all ability to judge a beautiful, natural woman's appearance and so reflexively think that anyone fresh-faced must necessarily be portraying a nubile lolita.

    @Pope John Peeps II: yes, I'm 30 and I get carded all the time still, a while ago I chalked this up to the fact that I hardly ever wear makeup. She in no way looks underage to me.

    Did anyone read that article? "The controversy is it’s the fact that she’s a white girl blowing me and I’m black. That role reversal freaks people out." Yep. That's the shocker. It's all about race.

    MTV wouldn't drop someone's bare ass in a celebrity's face without clearing it. Em has a better sense of humor than people give him credit for. I just wish Aukerman never admitted it was staged, so we can continue to hear Em fans sexual harassment rants. Hilarious.
