Allow us to atone for our sins with today’s offering: Erin Gibson asking why all of TV’s lady cops are the same — with a deep and disturbing secret, a slutty outfit always at the ready, and a patented I’m-hot-but-don’t-eff-with-me look on her pretty face.

Seriously, television, don’t you know that real cops have hair that looks like this? [Current] Keep reading »

This week, she goes off on detergent commercials which make it seem like women love doing laundry. “Why can’t we break the spin cycle?” she asks. “Because when you’re high on laundry, life is just better… it smells better.” Can I just say, this fits me to a T?
