Malcolm Gladwelling at The Post
Super-famous New Yorker writer and liar Malcolm Gladwell isn't the only reporter who tried to sneak funny bits of prose into his articles for a respected newspaper. (Except didn't he not do that? I'm confused.) Anyhoo, it's a fun old game to play, and we used to play it Page Six. My fellow former Sixer Chris Wilson and I used to daydream about getting the term "Bukkake Bandit" onto the page, which, in 2003/2004, was no easy trick. In fact, it never even got past Richard Johnson. Another crusade was to get the Google definition of Senator Rick Santorum's name into the Post back when that was still new and fun. More »

You Have to Hand it to Them
Whatever your feelings toward the New York Post, the feisty tab sure does have a way with headlines.

It's the kind of thing that happens every now and again; were we Williams-Paisley we probably wouldn't make too much of a fuss about it. If we had a choice between being identified as someone who showed her beaver for a semi-popular spank mag or as a co-star of "According to Jim," we'd choose the former any day. It's a lot less embarrassing.
