Fueled by Satan

As a black person, doesn't it offend you that there's no black people on this show?
No, not really.
Are you sure?
Yeah.

It's funny how he refers to the fact that sites are trying to stir up this controversy immediately after they ask him all the stupid race questions.

Is Jezebel pro- or anti-feminist? Its hard to tell sometimes.

Littlefinger up for the haters

It's a noxious combination of MY BLACK FRIEND and an wide-eyed amazement that black folks follow this crazy internet and premium TV thing. It's like they're bowled over that we can appreciate programming that isn't Def Jam or some poo poo, and this guy gets a golden star for his uniqueness.

But the guy himself seems okay. Is it really that hard to understand that people are able to appreciate situations and characters that don't necessarily reflect themselves? Maybe it's just easier for black people to do this since it's not like the medium is overflowing with positive characters with melanin heavy skin.

EDIT: I couldn't even finish reading the thing, in case they asked him to dance or something.

Jezebel has always been really gross and idiotic about non-white perspectives. Not just the writers, but the commenters, too. They've had several controversies and exoduses from the site over it. That article was so uncomfortable to read.

I read that article last night when I got home from the bar and almost drunk-rage posted about how terrible it was. Jezebel: Less progressive than a dude with a pink polo and popped collar.

I don't get what was wrong with the article. It seemed to have some self-parody in it with actual parody of other information sources.

The first post on this page seemed to sum up most of what was weird with the article. The writer seemed pretty surprised at this unique breed of black male that enjoys Jezebel. I'm of the same mind as the interviewee with regards to the race issue on the show.

I'm guessing most white people will never find themselves regularly watching a "black" show so the prejudice is that black people don't regularly watch shows with a predominantly white cast.

Not to excuse the hilariously awful interview, but some of the questions read like the sort of thing a lot of (white) people think but maybe have the good sense never to vocalize.

Hmm maybe you watched a different episode than I did. That looked more like it was trending towards and awkward over-the-pants handy than anything else. I think it'd be pretty funny if they became an item though. His relentless negativity and abrasiveness versus her ridiculous bubbliness.

But this episode was pretty crazy. I like how Adam dances with girls the same way he fucks them. Just this weird thing where he feels free to pick them up and move them as he pleases. How awful for her that after realizing she doesn't know a thing about him, she does want him to be her boyfriend. The episode ends with her victorious smile at winning the most poisoned prize purse ever.

Ray said "It was an honor to be your first" (in regards to her using her self defense techniques), so at the very least theres some foreshadowing there.

I totally thought Shoshanna was naked from the waist down before she beat the poo poo out of Ray.

Also, good on Adam for calling out Hannah's bullshit. I'm liking him more and more each week.

My god I LOVE this show so much.

this episode is every horrible party I've been to over the past 3-5 years.

"I did it, and I'd do it again you crusty sacks of poo poo"
"what'd you call us?"
"you heard me, CRUSTY"
"crusty, really? you're going to reduce us to a subculture and then not accurately name the subculture? Nice."

I really, really enjoy the dynamic between Hannah and Adam. I can't believe I was ready to write this show off after the first two episodes as it's now become one of my shows to look forward to.

ohhh I missed the preview. Caught up on posts from the last couple of weeks just now and the people bitching about Adam sure look like dipshits now. But then again, I think that reaction is a testament to the show, before this episode we only had Hannah's selfish view of Adam.
