I actually didn't think this was Seth's best work. I'm a big fan of his "Closer Look" segment, but I don't find him that funny with his one-liners.

Also, genuine question: why did Oprah win the Cecil B. de Mille Award? I mean, she's undoubtedly a successful person, but her filmography is pretty mediocre.

The last few winners were:
Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Jodie Foster, Woody Allen, George Clooney, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.

There's no way you could argue that Oprah belongs in that company. (not really sure why Clooney is there either, TBH, also get lost Woody Allen, you creepy old fuck).

But still, upvote for the sentiment if not the execution.

I feel I'm alone in that I'd really like to see a female doctor, but I think Jodie Whittaker is completely wrong for the role. Simply put she's too meek, too serious, and too normal looking. I was really hoping for Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The last season was kinda average. Capaldi is great, but he hasn't been given enough to do, with a few notable exceptions (see his utterly amazing anti-war speech in the Zygon Inversion).

The bigger change here is less about Jodie Whittaker and more about Stephen Moffat stepping down as showrunner.

That said, I'm excited for this new doctor. First up, I like Whittaker as an actor. Second, I think a female Doctor will be interesting and finally, I have already gotten a seasons worth of amusement from butthurt MRA snowflakes whinging about "PC" or "SJWs" ruining Dr Who, despite the fact that we've already seen Time Lords change gender in show at least twice now.

Bernie or bust.

Are those not the two kids from the Old TV show "Family Affair?"

The boy is [Johnny Whitaker] but not the little girl. It is an adolescent Jodi Foster [though it's difficult to tell through the subtitles].

September 1, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A South Side Chicago man who admitted shooting and wounding two Chicago Police officers has been found not guilty and released from custody. In this Intelligence Report: How did the shooter's lawyer manage to win such a case?

Twenty-one-year-old Kenneth Green was asleep in his Roseland apartment two years ago when a Chicago Police team showed up with a search warrant for drugs.

Cops used a battering ram to get in.

When police kicked through the bottom of Green's bedroom door, he shot through the door wounding two of the officers. Despite admitting all that, Green got off claiming self-defense.

The early morning raid by police on Green's Roseland apartment building ended in almost three dozen shots fired, mostly by police, after veteran officers Scott McKenna and Danny O'Toole were wounded through the door. The officers would survive, but that day in 2009, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis used the incident to take a stand.

"People are trying to murder police officers left and right," Weis said.

After he shot two policeman, Green was arrested on the spot and charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a gun and held without bond.

Last week, after a several day trial, Green was found not guilty. His attorney, Marcus Schantz, told the I-Team that he convinced the jury that Green didn't know they were police outside his door executing a legal search warrant.

Thanks guys. I swapped the embed. I hope Comedy Central doesn't get the YT clip fremoved. In case they do, the Comedy Central clip is here:

I'd appreciate if anybody could set that as a backup - I can never for the life of me remember how to it.. at least it used to include some weird brackets or something, and it usually takes an embarrassing number of tries before I get it right!

I love how Jodi was clearly the star of that song and not a prop. Very well done.

Great to see that Maggie Thatcher's oratory style lives on. Oh, and I think Jodie Foster could play this woman perfectly.

Listen, I am not trying to take anything away from this girl or the situation at all, but she was 17 years old, at a party, drinking to black-out drunk levels and got in a bad situation.

Why was she there at all? Where are her parents? They should be just as guilty as anyone.

Rape sucks. My wife was date raped before we met so I am not making light of it. I say this with all due respect for rape victims out there. People hear or read the word rape and picture Jodie Foster in The Accused every time. Legally, rape at the core level means "sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent." -Wikipedia. Here's the issue. If she is black out drunk (which she was), she could have easily offered consent willingly and later not been able to recall consenting in the first place, therefore placing the boys in serious trouble. Them pleading guilty was probably their lawyer's work, pleading guilty ends the case and seals the charges in juvenile record as they were not tried as adults. Now, I am not saying that happened here, but it is possible.

They are assholes for taking advantage of the situation and especially for taking pictures and spreading them around school. I am glad they were found guilty and they absolutely deserve it. We'll never know what their punishment was and I am quite sure it wasn't enough for this girl or her family, nor would any remotely realistic punishment be enough, honestly. The judge tried them, they were found guilty and punished according to the judge's application of the law. Case closed.

Her tweeting their names and violating the court order was stupid, but I am glad they didn't seek to punish her further for it, she's clearly been through enough.

All that being said, these hack-job video "hosts" are just making it worse for everyone, especially this girl whom I sure would rather have it all behind her instead of cramming it down everyone's throat like this morons did.

He's naive to think Jodi and all would give a single fuck about what he has to say.

I can't believe the other staff and teachers other than Jodi weren't fired. Such bullshit. They should all be fired and should never be able to teach again. Period.

I have a problem with firing every teacher...mostly that there aren't enough teachers and your forcing all the kids the suffer. I mean yes the shit they said was awful, but you have to approach these kinds of things with a scalpel not a hammer.
I like the idea of all policemen wearing wires like that one guy, this is an interesting idea. I'm starting to think maybe more and more people should do this.

Perhaps you're right, but as a teacher/professor this is truly disgusting to me. It's shit like this that makes people lose faith in the educational system. They feel it's systemic when it may just be asshats like this that need to be completely removed from the system.


I was gonna retort but you said I might be right. That's a foreign response to me...I don't like it take it back!

EDIT: Ok you can hate me now cause when she called him a bastard I laughed wayyyy to hard. Come ON! Bastard is a funny word!!!
