I suppose the idea is that it’s possible that someone has written several books in the past, and wants to sell them on Amazon now.

Its been okay, if a bit stale, but this was one was disheartening.

Yeah, I feel the same way. The other episodes were all right, although a bit heavy on the memberberries, but this was just awful.

I haven't seen every episode of Futurama, but I've seen the vast majority, and while more than a few haven't been my kind of humor, this is the first one I've seen that I thought actually sucked.

In retrospect it’s amazing how the nicotine addiction causes you to accept hocking up giant wads of brownish-black phlegm every morning as entirely normal.

I guess Wenner is such a fan of these guys that he’s lost all perspective. I mean, I’m a big Stones fan myself, and I think Mick Jagger is pretty clearly a smart guy, but a philosopher?

I think “asshole” is a pretty common type.

I watched the first season when it first aired way back in the 90s, and I've seen random episodes here and there since. I recently decided to watch the whole series, and I had forgotten that a lot of the writing is just not my kind of humor, which is why I lost interest back when it was new. Even so, there was enough good stuff for me to keep watching, but I'm in S5 right now, and I've definitely noticed a drop off in quality.

I agree, but I think a significant portion of the population has become genuinely detached from reality. They may be awful people too, of course.

I didn’t say they would.

They are mentally ill. Those are not the actions or speech of a sane person.

I only see three Valve Turner incidents listed in Wikipedia, the most recent of which was four years ago.

Anyway, my suggestions weren’t pipelines or trains out in the middle of nowhere. If they want publicity they should glue themselves to the entrance to a car dealership.

People who support museums tend to be relatively progressive, so all the protesters are accomplishing is to alienate people who likely agree with them.

Can you give an example?
