We all know it’s going to be Burton.

Until we find out the Burton made some slurs against Indians when he was 12, or made someone uncomfortable some time.

[LuFins Dad]

Yeah, like he would want the job after being passed up for it?

[LuFins Dad]

Why not just give the job full time to Mayim?

It’s been a shitstorm so far and it’s only going to get worse.

This. Alex Trebek would be very distressed, I think.

Will there be an amnesty program for individuals now that words and actions exist forever on the internet?

It won’t be long before “thoughts” and predictive analytics of what people would have said or done will be added to the persecution.

Granted his comments are disqualifying but it’s rare to find someone without original sin.

Keep it coming. Cancel as many people as possible as fast as possible. When enough people are cancelled, it'll lose its meaning and we can go back to something closer to normal.

We need to reach herd immunity with cancel culture.

Sometimes I find myself incredulous that Jesus had all that wisdom, but then I realize - it's because he was Black.

Indeed. Every smart parent knows that if everything is important, nothing is important.

I was actually rooting for (and expecting) Ken Jennings to get the job. But then... we'll find out what Ken did in the 70s and cancel him too.

Because it's Ken Jennings we're talking about, it's probably something like in 1996, he drank coffee sourced from a farm that's been found guilty of worker exploitation. Or he overheard a kid in undergrad mention an exam question before he had to take it himself, and didn't notify a proctor.

LOL. My first thought was binders full of women.

[Doctor Phibes]

I've never watched an episode of this show. Am I unusual?

I don't see the point of quiz shows, TBH, unless they're so freaking difficult that I'm left baffled by how clever people are.

It's fun. I haven't watched in years, but it's...fun.

Do you really want us to go there?

Didn't think so.
