Look at these photos.

French Olympic swimmer & model, Camille Lacourt.

(He’s 6’7” and in my mind, this is what Finnick Odair looked like…)

Things to do if you’re one of the most famous 19-year-olds on the planet:

Sign autographs.
Lend your name and voice to worthy causes like gay rights.
Be followed around be paparazzi.
And, if you’re Josh Hutcherson, use a fake ID to buy scotch from a grocery store.

…19-year-old “Hunger Games” star Josh Hutcherson took a not-so-cheap shot at a Ralph’s Grocery store — he posed as over 21 and got the check out clerk to sell him an expensive bottle of whiskey.

We got this pic of Josh leaving the Ralph’s in Sherman Oaks on April 18 with a bottle of Macallan whisky in hand — which, by the way, goes for $170.

A source tells TMZ … Josh used a fake ID to score the bottle. (cont.)

You dumbass.

Technically, he could get up to 6 months in jail for this but clearly, being rich and all, the worst he’ll get is a fine. Maybe community service. But really? He doesn’t know any Actual Adults to buy booze for him? I thought everyone had a guy like that by age sixteen these days….

Suzanne Collins wrote the Hunger Games.

And episodes of The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo.
And episodes of Clarissa Explains It All.

Twilight who? Suzanne is obviously the Queen of Girls Who Just Turned Twelve.

This is why white kids are mad that Rue is black.

It’s social conditioning from birth. Black = bad. White = good. Period. There’s no discussion necessary.

Black Doll, White Doll Experiment

That’s not isolated. You can view scores of “white doll / black doll experiment” videos with the same results every time.

I’m not just upset that little white kids are mad that Rue is black. It’s the broader implications that exhaust me. It’s the fact that those kids are admitting to being less sad that she died in the movie because she’s black. It’s the fact that those kids grow up to be adults who vote and serve on juries. It’s the fact that they will be less sad as adults when little black kids die. It’s the fact that little black kids get shot and nobody gets arrested for it.

If you missed The Hunger Games controversy, these are the basics [spoilers, if you don’t know the plot].

Look at these photos.

How do you call this child anything but adorable? To fix your fingers to tweet the n-word about this little nugget is beyond my powers of comprehension.

I am so tired this week. So tired of everything.

I was reading the Hunger Games and Rue made me squint a little.

And Thresh.

Am I the only one who gave a little side-eye that the big agriculture district to the South was full of black people with brutal overseers? They have dark skin, live in shacks, suffer severe punishments for minor infractions, grow all the food but don’t get to eat it, and Thresh is described as having the strength of an ox.

Somebody was definitely paying attention in US History class…
