Jeopardy has always been slow out of the gate in terms of issues of equality. For years it was a rare thing to see a woman or person of color on the show. For years they made the women wear skirts or dresses and the men wear suits and ties. They were jerks about stuff, basically, but they're gradually coming around and Jeopardy is starting to look a bit more like America.

It's a bit more than 'just' TV, it's a reflection of our national culture.

the simple ability to not click on it, the trash thread feature is fantastic.

It would also help if you didn't reply because then you wouldn't be seeing this in your My Posts tab and have to live through the sheer horror of having to click on the fucking thing again.

Damn life is hard.
