ARGH! I didn't get that comic until I read this comment. Thanks a lot! :P

I wasn't sure which poll answer to choose since I'd be willing to go about 45 min public transportation easily (when else can I read?) but only like...20-30 by car at most. But I also don't own a car so that's hard to say. (I get Zipcars to go where I gotta go!)

I don't think that passes for pornography anywhere. However, there is a distinct possibility that Randall Munroe has, accidentally, clicked a link leading to Oglaf. Then again, the oil spill didn't start running around.

All I can say, is that you clearly are not an oil lamp.

Hmm. I don't know whether I should be flattered, relieved, insulted or disgusted by your comment?

While I know it was just the set-up for the punchline, I do want to address the points above regarding discrimination. Dora (or our theoretical renter) wouldn't have to go get a lawyer. She could just call the Fair Housing Administration that covers the area, and they would investigate, sanction, fine or carry out a lawsuit on her behalf. It's as easy as clicking here: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp
Not to guarantee that anything would come of it, but she wouldn't have to spend a dime on a lawyer. It's all moot though- if she's a property manager for any larger company, this gets drilled into you regularly- you don't ask religion, race (or in CA, orientation or if they have children if it's not a senior complex) before renting. For a real estate agent I'm not as sure, but I can't see them not getting the same basic training- in enlightened self interest if nothing else.

Well, the discussion today has really put the incident when I got my first apartment into perspective. After being shown around the apartment, the landlord turned to me and said "Do you have any pets? Dogs, cats, lizards or the like?"
I said "No, but I do know a real bitch."
He did not look pleased.
To this day I'm still surprised I got the apartment.
