The Times has their panties all in a bunch over raunchy men's mags that you can find at newsstands *gasp* not twenty feet away from Court Street's municipal building in Brooklyn. The fwap-mags "specialize in the scantily clad bodies of women of color: King, Smooth, Sweets, AsIs."

So disgraceful! So disrespectful towards women! If it only wasn't for these pesky First Amendment laws. Although hell, most news vendors Yonette Joseph talked to admitted that they didn't get many complaints from their patrons. So…it's a non issue, except it offends those journalists whose job it is to seek out smut and corruption near/at City Hall, and then go off to print it, secure in their First Amendment right.

In other news, how many American Apparel advertisements do you think you can spot on a good day in Carroll Gardens? Because Dov Charney has two locations nearly eight blocks away from each other in that area, and heaven forbid those poor public workers get a glimpse of that pornographic material that passes for billboards these days. Oh, I forgot. American Apparel only uses white and ambiguously ethnic girls for their posters.

Carry on then.
