The Sunday Styles section was the worst it's been in a long time this weekend-
*"Hear Jerry Seinfeld's wife lamely try to deny that she left her first husband on their honeymoon for Jerry"
*"Read about the guy who announced he was going to kill himself on Twitter 3 months ago"
*"Here's more than 1 article about parents making sure their kids are as cool as possible"
It was the best illustration that the NYTimes Sunday Style section really is as lame and out of touch as Gawker says it is. And then I remember that I, too, was in the Sunday Styles section, and think, oh damn.
And yes, the Times has gotten so lame that I'm thinking seriously of dropping my subscription altogether. I'm down to just Sundays now; we used to take it daily, but it's just not worth the expense.
I'm used to hearing it as "Mrs. Vajayjay", as I first heard it in 2000 when spoken by MC Paul Barman: "Lady, one more complaint, and I'll shove a rape whistle up the Mrs. Vajajay!"
