pathetic insensitive
No one's claiming there was an actual zombie Jesus. The project falls under what's known as "fiction" and/or, parody. Similar to the infamous cartoons that made thousands of halfwits shoot people and set things on fire.
Religion really is a refuge for the humorless.

Frankly I'd trust the word of a religious fundamentalist before that of an SEO Specialist.

Scrump Goes For Broke
I enjoy some of the links posted to the front page of MeFi, but the comments section has never seemed worth reading -- no offense to any of you personally.
I try to avoid political discussions (with varying success) as much as possible. Too much nastiness and very little perspective.
Also, what he said.

I thought we were progressive
Why not rage instead against the airlines' injustice
Because to some of us, it's precisely that lame victimologist mentality ("Let's sue others for problems we fail to control ourselves") that's keeping this country in the shitter.
Finally, as someone who had a shirt and pair of pants soaked through by the sweat of a giant woman, about whom the armrests wouldn't lower, I fully support forcing fat people... [more]

Godwin!
I've gotta say, no word in the last 10 years has been as actively misapplied & mischaracterized as "neoconservative". It's like hearing willy-nilly usage of "its/it's", "they're/their" or "set/sit", but considerably more melodramatic.

Those Run of the Mill Hasidic Landlords
Had the statement been "This is just your run-of-the-mill Muslim landlord" who is also "a lone TowelHeadian landlord petrified in his own stereotype...", it would have otherwise, understandably, created an enormous wall of flames around AskMe. But it would have also been confusing because TowelHeadian isn't a real adjective.

16: $40 Bridge to PEI
I always assumed the 'pod' bit became part of the name because it overlapped with the (then) recent popularity of the iPod which was a watermark for making music more portable and subscribable. In essence, a podcast is just a media file wrapped in an XML feed, and the ability to subscribe to it in syndicated format does make it more portable - but yeah, it'd be nice if the term was not specifically, inextricably tied to an Apple product. Leo LaPorte often grinds that axe, even going as far as to... [more]

If we let this go past the fifth anniversary, it'll never go away.
What happened on 9/11 was a pretty consequential, complicated and sad thing to happen in the lifetime of modern Americans (and elsewhere), like it or not. People are going to post about it.

The way to commemorate it would have been a link...to the recently concluded engineering stuides of the towers collapse
Yeah, that's uncontestably Best of the Web, conducive to sober & informed discussion and a proper commemoration.

A friend in here in NYC said his office building is passing out chocolate hearts wrapped in American flag tin-foil today.
Distributing free candy...
Is that kind of unhinged depravity even legal?

Ajax-enabled tagging
I just made a post and didn't know whether to tag it "home", "homes", "homeimprovement"...It seems like an auto-suggest feature would help nudge people toward maintaining some consistency and standardization of the tags they use, otherwise variations of tags could go on endlessly, making the taxonomy less useful.
Apologies if this has been suggested before.

I feel like I might be the only one left in God's creation who has never so much as faintly chuckled at a LOLcat or desired to read a Harry Potter book :(

Assholes in Aisle 12
The post in question exists for one purpose: to start protracted arguments among members. There is nothing enlightening or 'best of the web' about it, nothing to really 'discuss'. If every terrible incident that's occurred in the world was hurriedly reported on the front pages of MeFi, the front page would be right shite.

I come not to praise Caesar but to make some salad dressing
I once witnessed languagehat enter a Guatemalan orphanage, pull a few babies from their incubators, juggle them like fruit, then toss them out of the windows. The jaunty angle of his fedora and sensible, erudite explanation for the incident forced authorities to let him off scott-free, no questions asked.

Has anyone ever considered a MeFi service akin to...
(I promise it's not spam. HouseExchange is the most common service of its ilk, so I referenced it for those unfamiliar with the process. If it was spam I would be suggesting we use the H.E. service, rather than suggesting we do something of the sort here at this site amongst members.)
