    This is exactly like the notes we passed in junior high! Exactly! Somebody said something and somebody else scoffed and that one came back and roared and then another one said he didn't get the message. There's nothing new under the sun, but I think Mardou was more incisive way back when ... #skype

    I was wondering why I never came to Gawker anymore. Cheap, ill-informed vitriol in the morning reminds me!

    How in the world can Oprah be America's faux cultural tastemaker? America has no genuine culture for her to approximate - unless hybridizing and multiplying by 3 the cuisines du monde counts as a culture.


    Way to stay classy, Gawker. In a week when several billionaires gathered at the Rockefeller University to discuss revolutionizing philanthropy, this was a much more riveting story.


    Now, there was something unique about that story. If only I could remember what it might be... If only there was a blog aimed toward smart independent women that could remind me what it was... I guess it's just easier to cross-post this bullshit, or, you know, post about somebody getting drunk enough to lose a tampon up their cooch.

    Caj, I love ya, but step away from the Oprah. Don't make me take my earrings off.


    P.S. Oprita's been Skyping for at least a year or two now. Personally I think it's Harpo Studio's way of cutting costs - "why fly 'em in if you can skype 'em in".

    I was so hoping that the answer to the original question was "James Frey." Then I realized that the recipient of Oprah's hypothetical poop laurel was described as "something cool."

    My 53 year old sister, who still has AOL, has been skyping her kids for 3 years. Whatever Oprah, and Gawker.

    Cajun Boy, fight the good fight, and run the race to the finish line, for in the end we have the certain knowledge that truth will triumph over Harpo Studios. Or something.

    That's right, blame it on mothers, you serial killer. What is it that makes having a kid suddenly turn a woman into the most uncool being ever? Rhetorical question. It's past 8 p.m. I have to give the kid a bath and go to bed where I'll languish in unfulfilled agony reading porn, I mean a romance novel.

    @The Cajun Boy: Uh, sorry I didn't see this last night, but I really did have to bathe Little Penguino and then go to bed. I commute, so it's up early for me. All I was trying to convey was my frustration that mothers are the single group that can bring ruination to something fun and/or cool (per your description, above). No one flees from something because dads like it. That's all. Sorry for the outburst!
