I want to know what the fuck is up with "loosing" in the headline. Is there a shortage of the letterpair "en"?

Yep, that's an anus. Now, back to work everyone.

But I don't want to be exposed to anus in the New York Times--unless it's David Brooks or Thomas Friedman.

Well, not even then, really.

I told anil the only thing missing was a gold wedding band on his left hand, the one holding the door in the photo. That would have made the shot perfect, but getting any goatse thing into the NYT is an amazing feat.

As for the article, the writer nearly "gets" the Internet. Pretty good outlook for the NYT.

Anil has always been a heartthrob, teen and otherwise.

Why yes, what an amazing accomplishment, approaching the furtive scribbling of expletives on bathroom walls.

Excellent. Anil wins. (But is this a zero-sum game he's winning?)

Well, sure, if they were the bathroom walls... at the New York Times!

Someone around my neighbourhood has taken to putting up stickers on telephone poles with the goatse cx address (does it even still work though? I'm not about to go look just to see).
