This blog is intended to both poke fun at, and shed light on, the confluence of a couple of phenomena of the internet age: the level of discourse one finds on “comment” areas of newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc., and the polarization of the nation into just two camps (liberal or conservative, pepsi or coke, tastes great or less filling).

I've called it “Be Reasonable” to bring focus to what is out of focus: that people don’t seem to be able to engage in reasonable discussion or reasonable disagreement, but instead act in disrespectful ways to feel like they’ve made their point. Of course, this does nothing of the sort. So, I am here to implore people to please, take a look at the items I post here…see yourself in them…and “Be Reasonable” for once.

Poor Thing


Mila Kunis recently pontificated to the New York Daily News on just how tough it’s been for her to be hot and to have had steady employment throughout her career:

"I have everything working against me at this point," she said. "I am a woman, I'm a child actress and I was on a television show for eight years."



Clearly Kunis has a solid understanding of struggle and the dedication it takes to reach your goals:

"I still don't have a f*****g clue what I'm doing. I'm not confident in my talent, whatever that might be, and I hope I never am.”

As if those hardships aren’t enough to bear, the poor little dear sits at home at night—ALONE!—with a cup of chamomile tea and a good book:

"Is a guy going to come up to me and ask if he can take me out on a date? Where can I go and have this date? I can't go anywhere! My house, his house ... So what do you do? I'm trying to be like a normal girl and a single girl ... but the concept of being single and in my position is just not workable. I couldn't even go on a date if I wanted to!"

Man…I wonder if anyone on the internet has any feelings they’d like to share…
Hit it, haters!



Wait, who’s that over there?  Take-yourself-a-bit-too-seriously crowd? Your turn. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn…



And, finally, let’s hear it from the most generous, giving, caring guys around…



Reading and video games?!  Sounds dreamy…



Wait…one more. Bitter? Table for one, please:



Oh, K Dub…saying what we were all thinking…

Be reasonable.

  1. I think the "ted" commenter was probably from a teddy bear who came to life because of the wish of a young boy... :)

    1. Hard to believe with all these quality proposals that Mila can't find someone...
