Viva Hate: Dr. Moz Classifies Chinese People As A “Subspecies”
Oh, Moz.
You, ol’ boy, have always been a curmudgeonly, conflicted, narcissistic, arrogant little cunt of a man.

We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we fell for Chen’s mysterious eyes on Twin Peaks. Here’s a vintage scene from Season 2 to remind you how she could singlehandedly inspire sexy fantasies with just a blink of her eyelashes:
Um. It’s possible that her skin actually got smoother and more radiant over the years. Does she only get more interesting and sultry? How can we do that?
