If Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis Split We Quit Life

Luke Malone — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST

Mark it in your calendars: today's the day that love officially died. They've been together for almost 14 years, raised two children together and have never seemed anything but super happy together, so you'll excuse us if we gently collapse after hearing Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are on the verge of a split. Word on the street is that Johnny is "quietly" consulting lawyers amid talk he was caught flirting with other women recently. "People around him are worried about how Johnny is doing because he and Vanessa seem so fractured right now. Their relationship is heading toward the end," said some absolute bummer. "Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship. They're not married but they've been together for years and have kids together so it isn't as easy as just breaking up." If this is true then we should all break up with our significant others now – if they can't make it no one can. [Radar] More »

Incest Enthusiast Wants Your Understanding, Acceptance

Jessica G. — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:40:00 EDT

People keep sending us this Times of London article entitled "I had sex with my brother but I don't feel guilty." Two things about that. One: incest is not okay. It's not ever okay. Two: I'm sick to death of people writing first-person essays about bad behavior and expecting that the mere act of writing about it absolves them of any responsibility and places them above censure. In the Times, the anonymous incest-lover says, "[Incest] doesn't happen to everyone but it happens to some, and I don't want to be made to feel guilty about it." Then why are you writing about something incredibly taboo in a public forum? If this lady wants to fuck her brother, fine. I'm not going to stop her. But the expectation that this "honesty" is beyond reproach is laughable. More »
