Author Caitlin Flanagan flirts openly with Stephen Colbert.
Wonder no more, Caitlin Flanagan fans! Your hero is just as smug and unsavory in person as she is on the page! Whether she’s voicing her disdain for the feminists who risked their necks to make her cushy New Yorker job possible or coyly suggesting that she’s the only wife on the planet who fucks her husband regularly, Flanagan has a real knack for provocation — the ultra-feminine kind, of course.

Carl's Jr. gets a little dirty to sell some biscuits.
Following a long tradition of filthy-minded advertising, which peaked with the oral-sex-inspired slogan, “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face,” Carl’s Jr. continues to pander to its macho demographic with this ad. Still, you sort of have to give them props for the shift in tone here, from neutered public service announcement to cocky guy anecdote.
