Happy Friday, Crasstalkers! Your weekly COW PSA: if you’d like to nominate a comment for Comment of the Week (COW), please take a screenshot of it and email me it to me: crasstalkcow at gmail. If your nomination is multiple comments it’s okay to screenshot just the first one or two and send that, but always remember to tell me what post or OT your nomination comes from. Hit the jump for my recap of the week’s posts and your Comment of the Week!

Dancing_Queen asked the hell were they wearing? at the Tony Awards. Dürer’s Rhino told you about the secret lives of pervert penguins. Lauren examined Pinterest’s gender divide. Jarrod’s blind items are here. In the OT, one of you had good news.
And one of you had a suggestion.
Tuesday

Printersanonymous wrote at length about the war on birth control. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren told you how stupid the Zimmermans are. Tuesday’s big trauma was that your avatars disappeared. The horror!

MonkeyBiz’s political links are here, and his post about some forever-alone who’s been playing the same game for ten years is here.
COW
Fifty Shades of Grey: the terrible book you won’t stop talking about despite the fact that none of you have even read it. When Cunning_Linguist posted a short quote from the novel in the OT on Thursday, she sparked a lengthy thread of horrified hilarity and other discussions. Witness.
I go through those same steps every week when writing this post.
Nice work, munchkins.
Until next week.
