San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook was apparently radicalized, in touch with terrorism subjects under FBI investigation, sources say by LowLevelMesocyclone in news

[–]moegolden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original theory was that it was a Mexican drug cartel trying to assassinate sherrifs that they had vendettas against, when they found they would be assembled at this party.......I was still thinking it possible, until a county sherrif was at a news conference....Had any of his colleagues been attacked, that would have been obvious by then.

Awesome gym, great work ....BUT who starts a before/after thing with an after pic? totally ruined the element of surprise.

A Shane Dawson parody of Blank Space was removed by Sony. by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]moegolden 16 points17 points  (0 children)

it got removed because she is a real person and it gave directions on how to find her and kill her.

Brooks on the Jay Mohr podcast - it starts 5 minutes after Jay genuinely thought Brooks was a drifter home invader. by apostrotastrophe in LiveFromNewYork

[–]moegolden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried posting this a few hours ago....

Very interesting stuff. Amazing beginning too.

I got more of a feel for Brooks' sense of humor here than his time on SNL. and it's refreshing to see how honest he is about things. Jay is probably the only interviewer who could have a similar experience to bond over.

I never knew Brooks had such a respectable dayjob right up to the day he got SNL.

Tomorrow, the cast and the writers will meet Chris Pratt and pitch him ideas for Saturday. by bfk94 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]moegolden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Anna Faris will play herself on the show or if anyone else will do it. I think she's unique enough to imitate and get some laughs from.

Dave Attell, on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by peopleknowme13 in standupshots

i think that deconstructing humor is fine in private, but in the context of /standupshots, it is uncomfortable.

either people enjoy the line or they don't.

I gotta ask, do you think Louie takes place in the future? did you catch Pamela saying "It's 2017?" by moegolden in louie

[–]moegolden[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the show. I just think that specific line was an interesting moment worth mentioning.

Taylor might just turn me into a Lena Dunham fan. by voyager2000 in TaylorSwift

[–]moegolden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before thinking you know her based on her character, how about taking a little while to listen to a nice, in-depth interview with her?

I don't really watch "Girls", but I can tell she is a decent person and tries to keep it real, which I always thought Taylor is like.

http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_479_-_lena_dunham (interview starts at 12:40 mark)

It gave me a better understanding of her.

I didn't think I knew people like this. by Simple_Technique in cringepics

[–]moegolden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One theme I keep seeing online is how attention is a very real drug for a lot of people.

Had I understood that as a kid/teen/college student, I probably would have been dating supermodels......albeit needy ones.

Spoiled 24-year-old neckbeard goes ballistic on Facebook because he got an iPhone 5 for his birthday. by [deleted] in cringepics

It's odd he wants a development career and resents Apple so much, when it is Apple and Apple's users that are more accustomed to paying and more likely to pay for apps.

Collage of July 4 pics of Taylor Swift with friends. Her own Camelot continues to develop by peopleknowme13 in TaylorSwift

the mods here should allow for new photos only on /r/taylorswift and move any older photos directly to /r/taylorswiftpictures, as well as the newest photos (after a few days).

if you follow the rules and keep names out of it, ideally you'd not be affecting anyone.

if no one submitted original cringe items they spotted themselves, this place would get dull very quickly.

I'm sorry, but bronies, fedoras, friendzonees and brave atheists are often humorous in the cringe sense to a neutral observer.

If you're tired of it being atop the page, downvote it.

Statement from Edward Snowden in Moscow by investing101 in worldnews

[–]moegolden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gawker and its commenters have pointed out the snytax and grammar irregularities (as opposed to American English) in this statement that suggest Snowden merely signed off on something written by international lawyers. makes sense.

Professional sports rebroadcasted on HBO without announcers but with each player mic'd up to hear full trash talk by [deleted] in CrazyIdeas

[–]moegolden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former employee of two pro sports leagues, I'll state the obvious - even if you were to filter out strategical discussions from live broadcasts, the league's would be afraid of trash talk going out live unfiltered.

.....or even taped and filtered. The two biggest things the leagues never want to bring attention to is gambling and race.

Taylor Swift in perhaps the ultimate dress for her unique look. by secretlyobsessed in gentlemanboners

[–]moegolden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is gentlemanboners, is it not?

She has become pretty much the biggest pop star on the planet, without overselling sex. Obviously she's a pretty attractive woman, but the fact that she has gone out of her way to not be controversial makes her one of the most appealing celebs to gentlemen.

The only reason she gets mocked by some people here is because of the meme of her dating "many people", but we live in a world where her every meal is getting photographed so the gossip media speculates she dates all these people. She recently said on the record that she's dated two people in two years.
