review of 'downton abbey'
‘oh my god, this awkward situation has arisen because of our preoccupation with social class.’ ‘oh no, another awkward situation has arisen because of our preoccupation with social class.’ ‘whoops! a third awkward situation has arisen because of our preoccupation with social class.’

TOP 2 REASONS I WON'T WATCH 'MAD MEN'
1. Save for Hank Williams, I have zero interest in white people shit from before Civil Rights.
2. I’ve worked hard to purge my day-to-day life of white men in suits. Why watch them on TV?

SARTORIAL QUANDARY
If I have an Adidas hoodie, what shoes should I wear with it?
Adidas: Is that overdoing it? Petty? Corny? “Guh-het-oh?”
Other sneakers: Herby? Wack? Clashing via “lack of corporate synergy/brand loyalty?”

Nouveau riche rappers mispronouncing the names of luxury cars…
or
…people getting irritated with the mispronounciation, as if they’re trying to protect the brand integrity of a luxury car that they could never afford?
