man - I got it too. It's a bit strange. But don't take it for granted. Seriously.

that one of the privileged positions i occupy (or rather, could occupy theoretically…and most likely have at some point)
is that i don’t ever really have to apologize
i mean, not really apologize
i can say whatever offensive shit i want, and at the end ask someone to “lighten up a bit” OR,…

(except for the movie)
and i’m wondering how, out of all the other crap that joss whedon has made, this got canceled this early on.
maybe everyone was as weirded out as robbie and i about zoe wanting to have a baby.

is that their attitude is pretty much “god fine shut up about your rape or whatever we will get rid of the t shirts”
and then the legion of nerds who support them blindly are all “YEAH SHUT UP RAPE JOKES ARE HILARIOUS”

right, some preface.
penny-arcade is pissing me off. by that i mean the guys in charge of the whole shindig.
