The credit for catching this blunder goes to Bryan Hillebrandt, copy editing hun:

Situation: Describing a couple he met at a party.

“There’s a definite lack of any humanness to these people, or
as Jonathan Lethem says, ‘they do not posses a correct amount of self
loathing; thus, it is my duty to loathe them.'”

Kid Rock is suing his wife for child support payments because she wants visitation rights with their son. The guy isn’t exactly struggling, but I agree with his reasoning. Mr… Rock has had custody of the boy for the last five years and says he wants the mother to “take some responsibility.” Listen, when someone who calls himself Kid Rock has to tell you to take some responsibility for your own offspring, it’s time to reassess.

I’ve been seeing this image in the subway, except the posters there have about ten giant purple pills floating around the elated woman. First it freaked me out, then I thought it was hilarious, now I realize that there’s not nearly enough advertising featuring old women twirling amid floating pills. Ad world, how about it? More floating-pill, purple-ballgown, joyful-old-lady ads, please.

The best part of an article I just read on a boy named Sho who is attending college at age nine:

By the end of the day, his jeans pockets are full of the things he has collected: dead bugs and flowers, brown leaves and pebbles, dry twigs and grass. He talks to his father about philosophy, starts behaving when his mother threatens a “time out,”and ignores questions he thinks are too insignificant to answer.

Ever since the Monica Lewinsky thing, I’ve occasionally seen this guy walking down Market Street with a sign that reads, “IMPEACH CLINTON.” It says some other stuff below, but I never bothered to read it. I figured the guy was just a political freak. Well, after several months passed and he was still around, I started to wonder why. This morning I read most of the rest of his sign before the bus moved along:

IMPEACH CLINTON

For all the guys who were feeling left out when I posted the fake nipple site, I present to you penisenvy.com:

“You can do something about your small penis! Are you tired of meeting attractive women only to find out they are into well hung guys? Are you
tired of women who don’t want anything smaller than 7 or 8 inches? Do you want to be hung like a
horse? Do you want to enlarge your penis? Well now you can.”
