And the answer is.....

C
Vituperative means verbally abusive. The opposite of defaming someone with vituperative remarks would be praising them — C's laudatory means expressing praise. As for the other choices, lethal means deadly and incapacitated means incapable or unfit. In D, insulated means protected, as in insulation, and prominent, E, means famous.
Graduate Record Examination

Took the GRE yesterday. It was more difficult than I anticipated. Turns out, my vocabulary is much worse than I thought. I've added a sample question, which pretty much sums up how I felt through the entire verbal section. There are several of these antonym questions on the test. Just pick the antonym. These questions, theoretically, should be extremely easy. I could probably figure most of them out with some context, but Nooooo, just the word. Who am I? John Tesh? Not hardly! I don't know what these words mean.
VITUPERATIVE:
A. lethal
B. incapacitated
C. laudatory
D. insulated
E. prominent
Just for kicks, whoever's reading this, post your answer to this question. Please, scout's honor. No wiki or google. I'll post the answer later. I'm looking for the antonym of VITUPERATIVE.

Literal Videos
Not sure if you've seen these, but they're awesome. Nothing clever about the lyrics, just singing what's happening on screen.

Seriously?

Well, it's come to this. United Health Insurance just rolled out their newest product called "UnitedHealth Continuity". For the bargain price of 20% of your current premium, you can ensure your insurability will be insured; unless you're currently sick, then you can't insure your future insurability.
Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this assinine concept in the first place? A healthy person would be able to find another policy. This still leaves out the people who can't get insured to begin with.
Am I going crazy? What the hell is going on!? What...the hell...is going on?
