Reader Roundup

Best Comment of the Day, in response to Girls Gone Wild: Mag Hag: "Every time I see those commercials, selling the videos 2 for $9.99, I always think how sad it must feel to know your tits are on a DVD being sold for less than $5." We say: our tits are worth at least a Hamilton. • Worst, in response to How Do You Deal With Assholes At The Office?: "one of those male colleagues had the balls to comment to another labmate (a friend and fellow Hispanic) about how much easier the minorities have it in academia because we get everything handed down to us. the fucker." We say: the fucker, indeed!

"had the balls" to say shit like that? More like has such a weenie brain it's no wonder he struggles in academia and blames his failures on the success of others. To rip off someone else's wonderful phrase, what a douchelaser.

Yep, that's why every good white parent dips their kid in brown paint. 'Cause that's how you coast through life!

@JessicaLovejoy: I know! I love that shit! Damn, it's rough being a white man. In, what it sounds like, a science field.

I have an artist acquaintance who bemoans being a white male because there's less "material" (ie. history of oppression hence stuff to make art about). I think he was kidding?

i have serioulsy wondered if some dirty old man bought one of those videos, and saw a family memeber. not so hot anymore.

@TruculentandUnreliable: yeah, because history has taught us what a great life minorities get to look forward to every day.

This was the postdoc that trained me as a 1st year grad student. He still thinks he is such a nice, misunderstood guy.
We also had a very "nice" conversation about how women have it easier in the academia when they get preggers.
I'm already drunk with the hubby - and we're now in his lab. Fuck, I love science and all, but I swear it would be better without this kind of prick.

@Brigit: I am soooooo glad I work in a lab run by women. Never had to deal with that kind of asshole ever.
