Video: Comet scientist issues teary apology for wearing tacky shirt because that’s life in the Internet age

Allah:

Via Becket Adams, the depressing conclusion to the online uproar described by Ed and Jazz last night. Only in America 2014 could the feat of landing a spaceship on a f***ing comet be overshadowed by an Internet powwow over whether a guy’s shirt is a felony or misdemeanor offense by the patriarchy.

I accept American decline, but do even our bread-and-circus outrages need to be so lame? Says Dan Foster:

We’re lucky he didn’t blow up the comet out of spite. But look: In fairness to him, the path of least resistance is probably the smart way to go. Thoughtcrimes against progress are a firing offense, including in the STEM industries. If you don’t want the outrage of the day to become the outrage of the week and eventually the outrage of the month, you’re better off confessing your sins and seeking absolution.

Really? That’s newsworthy? I’ll note that none of the cartoonist women were nude, but very similar to that on comics and and computer games. Has any of these reporters seen what the cable channels and even some of the broadcast television media are putting on prime time? Kim Kardashian oiled her butt and pictures of it are all over, but the person they single out to pick-on is a nerdy scientist, for wearing a shirt with comic book women on it?

Are these women who are claiming to be offended by his pretty cool shirt part of feminism?
Part of feminism where SLUTWALKS tout the RIGHT of women to dress however they want and not have watchers reach any conclusions about them?
How do their heads not explode with the diametrically opposed views they hold inside them?
