A disgruntled reader (Gawker, of course, only has disgruntled readers) writes: "Perusing a recent NY Mag, I noticed a quote from one Jonathan Adler in Amy Larocca's article on Chelsea Clinton. He was cited as a cool-kitsch decorator and potter. A few minutes later, I found his name again in "Best Bets" on page 42. So I popped his name into New York's search and I found no fewer than 71 (!!!) references to this guy (not including this week's). So, I ask you, who the hell is Jonathan Adler and why does New York Mag love him? [I]t's not just media people (if New York Mag staffers can be called media people) who sweat Adler: my girlfriend works for an architect and told me that her colleagues talk about Adler like he's a superstar, too. Can you become famous from *pottery*? That's got to be some sort of back-handed compliment: 'He's a famous potter.'"
