So in this context, “Apple sucks” means “I choose to not buy or use Apple products but still want to use their Apple-only messaging service and I can’t” and I’m salty about that”?

Jesus wept. There are so many legitimate criticisms to make against the company, and this is where they want to make their stand?

I’m fairly sure that should be banned under the Geneva Convention quoting either the cruel and unusual punishment, or biological weapons protocols…

The song goes “We wish you a merry Christmas”, so that’ll always be there for as long as the song is popular.

Plus (also because of the song, I assume), you say “merry Christmas and a happy new year”, not “happy Christmas and a happy new year”. Too much happy there.

See, it’s a long standing tradition to refer to a given era of the show by the last name of the actor.

Or the number. I’d imagine I’ll be calling him Fifteen before too long…

If you’re racist and you know it, clap your hands!

Should copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!

In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!

You've got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?

Chutzpa, I believe the term is.

In my defence, I was left unsupervised...

Huh. Interesting.

"Speakers from places like Blackburn usually differentiate between pairs of words such as 'stellar' and 'stella', whereas most of England would consider them to be the same," says Dr. Turton.

Short of deliberately rolling the R, I don't actually know how I could pronounce it... I'd never thought about that before.

We had a chance for that, but the electorate was too stupid to vote for it anyway.

Referendums. Huh. What are they good for? Fucking over the rest of us, that's what.
