In a recent interview with the New Yorker, Seinfeld complained about the supposed lack of good, funny TV shows, claiming that, “This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” This incredibly redundant take is not only very untrue, but also very poorly backed up. It seems like every mediocre male comedian has been coming out of the woodwork recently to complain …
Met Gal-Blah 2024: Rich people dress like shit
Share: The Met Gala was this Monday, and celebrities reminded us yet again that even though they have all the money and power in the world, they still don’t know how to follow a theme. The theme for this year’s Met Gala was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the dress code being “The Garden of Time” inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story. Evidently, many celebrities took the garden part a bit too literally, simply throwing in a floral pattern and calling it a day. …
