Be more Dwight

One more grovel added to the mountain.

What did he say?

You can call that “mean” all you want, but the reality is it’s true. Organizations for women obey this new rule that we must not mention women in connection with pregnancy or childbirth or nursing or mothers. The more people object the better. The more celebrities object the better. The fewer people and celebrities who apologize the next day THE MUCH MUCH BETTER.

    It’s not even mean, he just learned it, and is passing it on. He didn’t say it was stupid, like I do. Men can get breast cancer. So, “chestfeeding” is an unncessary accommodation in the first place.

    Who or what is Dwight?

    I had to look the dude up because I never could sit through five minutes of that idiotic show…

    Looks like doing Transpeak wrong now requires an apology, even when doing it right. The audacity!

    maddog, Dwight is Dwight Schrute, a character in the US version of The Office. Rainn Wilson is the actor who played him.

    … and Dwight from the U.S. version of The Office is based on the character Gareth from the U.K. original (played by Mackenzie Crook). Well, their personalities and histories are different, but they occupy the same niche in the office politics and web of relationships, e.g. the target of mockery by Tim/Jim and Dawn/Pam.

    And because the US version has a million more episodes than the UK one, there is a lot of Baroque elaboration of Dwight’s weirdness, much of it very funny. Turnips etcetera.

    I guess I just don’t get it, I found it tedious and unwatchable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I can’t stand Seinfeld either, maybe it’s just me. ;)
