  1. the anaconda spit the guy out cause his ass was too small. You know an anaconda don’t want none unless its got buns, hun

  2. Hey Cenk, Rumi is not Turkish, despite being buried in Turkey. He was born in what is now Afghanistan/Tajikistan – an area within Persian influence at the time – to Persian speaking parents. He wrote mostly in the Persian language and in later years, when he resided and died in Anatolia, in Cappadocian Greek. He moved west with his parents to flee the invading Mongols from the East. But it is well known as a Persian poet.

  3. Sadly, the 2nd hour just isn’t much fun anymore.
    Hey, folks, why not play a few from the archives of the last few years?
    There’s a tedious amount of bitter judgie-ness.
    Love you nonetheless.

    1. The elephant analogy is really constructed, you have a wolf pack and go with the elephant instead of the pack of lions? Big corporation is not the elephant? Pack of lions not a pack of wolves?
      I think you should have leave the wolfpack analogy out of this, it just does not fit. But still fun.

  4. When did Ana become a 90 year old woman? Why is she throwing shade at other women for nude pictures? Why is that tacky? Women who shame and judge other women for no other reason than they are nude need to shut the fuck up. That’s not feminism.

    Kim Kardashian is a shamless self-promoter, and she seems like a shallow person who isn’t very bright, so mock her for those or any other valid reasons, but simply being nude in a photoshoot that she chose to be in is just dumb. You’re doing the work of the patriarchy for them.

    And fucking Cenk. Again with your 12 year old boy comments. It’s not cute. it’s not funny. Stop being a dumb fucking child who thinks that if something makes your dick hard it must have only been for that purpose. The double standard that exists between women being shamed for their bodies, for exposing their nipples and asses, like there’s some shameful disgusting horror is leftover nonsense from religious fundamentalism. I thought Cenk was against that sort of thing.

    GROW.THE.FUCK.UP!

    1. After watching that story I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. When did She throw shade at Kim Kardashian for being naked alone?

      1. Same here, she basically just criticised her for being an attention whore, which she clearly is. The criticism of Cenk is also untrue, he says Instagram’s policy about nudity is a huge double standard. I think gathly is just looking for reasons to be angry.

        1. Why is Kardashian an attention “whore”? Ana wants attention, and describes herself as a narcissist. Cenk wants attention. Lots of people want attention. Most if not all of people in the media want attention. Why are some people attention “whores” and other people just like attention? Ana also described the picture as “tacky”. That’s a reference to the nudity. What else about it do you think made her say “tacky”? She’s used that word many time before, and it’s always in reference to some famous woman being naked. It’s because it’s a holdover from an earlier era when women were supposed to police each other on being too “slutty”. It’s a value she’s internalized. Her mother probably told her not to be “tacky” while growing up whenever she would dress too provocatively in public.

          With Cenk, you’re just totally wrong. I mean, yes, I am angry, but I’m not looking for some reason to be angry. It really makes me angry when adults turn into stupid children when sex is discussed, and Cenk is one of the worst examples of this. I love Cenk. When he gets into one of his “we’re comin” speeches I want to follow him into battle. My heart starts cheering for him. So, for someone who I admire so much, it’s particularly upsetting when he turns into a dumb child and starts to resemble the typical moron who also behaves that way.

    2. Kim Kardashian sucks balls and deserves to be ridiculed. And I don’t believe there has ever been a more retouched ass in the history of photography.

    3. huh? I didn’t see any of that. I didn’t see Anna saying anything bad about nude pics. not sure what you thought you saw
