That totally wasn't a jury of his peers. All those letters are probably anti-lamp. #pixarintroparody

The lamp was only a child! He should have not been tried as an adult!

I blame bad parenting and TV. Those two letters are always up to something. #pixarintroparody

@wtfox?!: Whatever. Show me statistics that rehabilitated lamps go on to squish I's after they serve their sentence. What this lamp needed was therapy and compassion. Also: Cognitive Dissonance and misandry, such as. #pixarintroparody

There's a big difference between electroshock therapy and the electric chair.

Sigh. Whatever happened to rehabilitating criminal lamps? The fact that in this day and age we still feel the need to execute criminal lamps just sickens me. Now we are just going to sit here and watch this video like the bunch of terrible human beings that we are. Margaret, I hope you are ashamed of yourself for advocating Capital Punishment on your site. I'm leaving Jezebel and never commenting again.
P.S. You never responded to my email. #pixarintroparody

Not gonna lie - bad things would happen to anyone caught trying to steal my bunnies. Even though they ate my telephone cord this morning.

Shit, there are still some fun antiquated laws on the books now in a lot of states. I had to do research for a show based on them. Sample size: It is illegal to walk across state lines with a duck on your head in Minnesota. In Normal, Illinoise it is against the law to make faces at dogs. And in Alabama you can't wear a fake moustache in church with the intent to make people laugh.
I got a lot more...sometimes my job is awesome.

In reply to Poll: Animal Pelts More Objectionable Than Death Penalty
Does finding the death penalty morally OK equate with administration of the death penalty, though? I mean, I know quite a few people who don't think the death penalty is per se wrong (eg., if we knew with 100% accuracy that somebody was guilty of a crime where death is a possible sentence, it would be OK to kill them), but since the death penalty is biased and flawed in its administration, it shouldn't exist.

They're like, we're not even in a place where we can decided if the DP is good or bad because we're still at a place where it is administered unjustly.

My guess is that most of those people had their tootsies tucked into some leather shoes. Personally, I could give a shit about any of those topics. When anyone starts throwing out "morally wrong" I just shut down. What morals? According to what tiny group that forces its morays upon an entire country?

Let's get our ovaries in a twist over world starvation, nuclear arms (and the mispronunciation of nuclear), genocide, rape, etc. I could give a shit and laugh a little when I hear the words "morally opposed" come out of anyone's mouth b/c it sounds like windbag pompous bullshit spewed from someone who likes the sound of his/her own verbal diahrea.

@maggiethecat: I think leather is more acceptable cause it's made of cows; we eat cows, and most importantly, cows aren't cute. Poor fuzzy little animals being killed for stoles, though--that's wrong.

Full disclosure: I really can't fathom the outrage I think I'm expected to have about animal rights. I'm much more concerned with making sure people treat each other well. My mother always taught me to pick my battles, and I choose people.

The people who oppose the birth of children outside of marriage probably also oppose abortion. So, according to their logic, if you get knocked up, you're going to be shamed either way.

@Flackette Goes Retro: Yes, I'm fairly certain that's how their logic works. Plus, that would mean you had sex. (I mean, duh, they want to have sex, but only with objectionable whores before marriage. Nice girls wait.)

@Flackette Goes Retro: They must have polled my high school. To this day, when I see someone 16 or 17 getting married, my first thought is, "Oh she's pregnant." Because that fixes it, you know. As my mom said when watching an immature tool on 16 and Pregnant, "Are they married?" And when I told her no, she said, "Well good. They don't need to be."
