Comped food reviews? Blasphemy! I have no words. I know that can feel necessary, but it’s still so awful. My journalistic integrity is melting. I refuse to review/preview anything for free anything. If I do get free tickets to anything it has to be for something I didn’t write about. That’s just me. I’m not judging, I was just so umm… shocked?

So you purchase DVDs, CDs and Books before you review them? Those are comps. Live theatre reviews. Do you buy the tickets? Music concerts? Did Siskel And Ebert ever give a good review to a crappy movie because they were seeing it for free? Comping reviewers, particularly those who are working for advocacy press and are often unpaid as the publications can barely afford to keep in business, much ess fork out hundreds of dollars a week for meals, theater tickets and live event passes is not a compromise of journalistic intergrity. The compromise comes if the reviewer doesn’t have the fortitude to say something sucks if it really sucks. Perhaps you thought I worked for the New York Times? Which I imagine gets comped reviews as well.

I enjoyed this cast Matthew, although you did seem pretty down.
Why did you get stuck with the $83 bill at the restaurant? That’s a lot of money (to me it is, anyway) and it’s not fair you had to pay it when the assumption was it was a comped meal.
Well, I’ll try to lay off the sarcastic comments for awhile. Just promise me you’ll find plenty of stuff to get upset about so I don’t have to provoke you.

Bitches need to dry up! “Breeder” is purty fuk’N innocuous! I can’t even think of a “Real” insult for str8 peeps. I dunno if there IS one?
Maybe because we realize that they’re So much like us-it’s hard to find anything to ridicule?

I love Nephi’s dedication and humility. That’s probably like him dropping the book of mormon at the urinals in the Stake House for any deacon that comes by. The sound clips were quite interesting. I also have to say that I wouldn’t like being treated by my employer in a similar way. Maybe you could have a meeting. Isn’t that what people do?

Kalvin, your comment went over my head.

Breeder? What a comical term for non-family. I’ve never used that term in any seriousness because, well, it reminds me of something a young Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie might say while sticking her tongue out.
Mattie, you’ve hit it on the head, when you said it’s like calling someone a doody head! Brilliant! LOL
