Have you seen the last season of the sopranos where the fat guy goes into an antique store, and he is told that he is a "natural" (w.r.t. appreciating art). So it's OK to stereotype gays as being better at artsy stuff, but not OK to think o

I just had an idea for how to turn the trolling phenomenon into potentially very lucrative profits for a startup. Anybody interested? On the one hand, I don't want to give away my idea. On the other hand, implementing it might take several
