Aunt Becky going to jail.

How is she involved with this? Like, did she call these students and tell them "hey, I got the answers so you can get into Yale?" I need to know more about this story.

Rich people bribing institutions for the benefit of their kids has been going on forever. I guess they just got caught?

I can see people not thinking this a big deal but for me, someone who had to work hard and apply for several scholarships and financial aid to get into college I will admit this sorta pisses me off.

Paying for extra time to finish the SATs and for the instructor to correct her answers. Fuck that shit

You're not wrong but like I said, stuff like this has been going on forever. It's now that someone got caught that's making people upset. If I were to go into any Ivy League school right now and offer them a hefty "charitable donation", guaranteed they'll give me anything I want. It's fucked up but that's how the game is played.

Though I've never heard of paying off a test proctor to doctor tests for someone or pay someone to take the SATs. I guess people have gotten more creative?

William H. Macy is testifying in court today with his wife (Felicity Huffman).

My 4 year scholarship paperwork got screwed up somehow back in '99 and we were literally at a week before school when my dad finally called in a favor to our state house speaker and his general from National Guard, the favor of favors, to light a fire under someone's ass. To this day if I see General Downer in public I introduce myself (again because I doubt he remembers me, one time he did) and thank him profusely for helping me get what I earned.

I'm with strummer on the pissed off.

And I also agree with Epic, this shit has been going on. I know I've mentioned it before, one of my older relatives used to teach at a certain SEC school in this state *ahem* back when grades were handwritten. He said countless times (usually athletes) he'd go back and see grades changed from Ds or Fs to C-.

Universities are supposed to be havens of higher education and thought but they can't run without money.

Aunt Becky booted from Fuller House and now there's a rumor where they may break her and Jesse up in the final season.

It's really sad that we no longer have a porn folder and that bob_barron and DrVenkman are dead (RIP friends). In the glory days of TRTSM, we definitely would have talked about the fact that Rachel, the redhead from the last two season of Boy Meets World is doing hardcore interracial porn by now. Sad really.

AVGN did a deep dive review of the Tiger handhelds including the Full House game:

Someone is permitted to call me an idiot if they have been up there for like four years but I found last night that a bunch of the TGIF shows are on Hulu. I saw Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Step By Step, and Hangin' With Mr. Cooper. So I am going to spend the rest of my pandemic watching all of that garbage.

Barely a TGIF show but Sister, Sister was in the wave of black '90s/'00s sitcoms they announced was coming to Netflix in August too.

Wow. I’m not surprised you would include Sister, Sister but exclude MOESHA.

Moesha was never on TGIF or even on ABC period (although it was produced by ABC Studios at one point)! It is coming to Netflix though in August.

Go home, Roger Hawk 34!

What I don’t get is why they keep burying their brother’s much better show.

Give the people what they want, Netflix. Give us SMART GUY, you cowards

Lamestream media wants to keep intelligent black voices down. I remember one time me and my brothers stayed at my grandma's while my parents were on vacation and Taj Mowry got bumped from Regis & Kathie Lee like four days in a row. SMDH.

You know damn well Tia and Tamara used their influence with Regis. From what I hear, the family never recovered from that incident.

I was looking up what he is up to now, hoping to find something fun and whimsical . Saw that he dated Naya Rivera for four years in the early '00s and had a long Instagram post after she died about how he never stopped loving her and hoped that they would one day somehow get back together. :(

Smart Guy is on Disney Plus so if there's any mom's cleavage you liked prepare for it to be blurred.
