Can’t get much worse, so…
Why not shut the fucker down and see what happens? From The Awl, a little nugget that first made the rounds last week:

Sidney Crosby: If it weren’t for all the hockey. And the acne.
No offense to the author of this post (we like your blog!), but Sidney Crosby just wasn’t cut out to be a sex symbol. Airbrushing and the presence/absence of a shirt doesn’t change much for me.

Dirty Laundry
Newsweek — They still make it, apparently — has published a dialogue between its editors and contributors about the journalistic definition of the word “terrorist” … Really, it mostly proves what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers they’ve got editing that magazine, with the possible exception of Michael Isikoff, who, even still, refers to a guy [...]
