I haven’t been following Doonesbury, but I see the error of my ways, for last night, in a comment, reader bric posted a link to today’s strip from The Washington Post. It perfectly sums up PuffHo’s “journalism”:
Maybe I should put “sideboob” in the title of my science posts!
I had no idea that ex-reporter Rick Redfern had fallen so low, but Garry Trudeau’s character description explains (my emphasis):
A reporter’s reporter, Redfern is also a boy’s dad and was, until Dubya took the oath of office, a Washington insider’s husband. The 21st century has not been kind in any of these areas. Joanie retired and Rick was booted from the Post, suddenly finding himself blogging for a living, ever in search of eyeballs and a paycheck. Long baffled and frustrated by his slacker son Jeff’s unearned sense of entitlement, Redfern suffered the indignity of watching him strike bestseller gold as the Facebook folkhero “Red Rascal” and buy a 12-bedroom mansion. Rick is also puzzled by the fact that he is married to a grandmother. He now writes for the Huffington Post.
And then, Googling “Doonesbury Rick writes for HuffPo,” the first hit was a post I did on this very site in September of last year. It’s about Rick unwillingly writing for the site for free, an issue on which Trudeau and I agree.
“celebrity sideboob nipsip upskirt”
Once that hits the Almighty Google, that should boost traffic to this post. No, no need to thank me; just doing my part.

Are you, perhaps, missing an ‘l’?
Or is he? Ta-ta-taaa.
Quite the sippery affair…
“nipslip upskirt”
Ohhh, that sounds like one of Glenn Quagmire‘s less pert ladies.
Obviously, my Freudian sip is showing.
Equally obviously, everybody else is titillated by it….

Sideboob Sip sounds like a somewhat unhelpful journalist sidekick.
Sideboob Slip is a good band name.
Add in Justin Bieber and you’re unstoppable. 😀 People are such dumb asses.
Justin Bieber has boobs and wears skirts? Now I know twice as much about him (her?) as I did when I woke up this morning….

Well, Kate McKinnon’s Bieber impression on SNL is eerily accurate, and she both has boobs and wears skirts.
Sadly, I have no clue who Kate McKinnon is, and I just barely know that Bieber is the latest teen heartthrob….

(I’m just realizing that should’ve been “impersonation”.)
Oh, rest assured my knowledge of pop culture is also virtually non-existent. Of course, my interest in pop culture can be described the same way. I did have to use google to figure out her name.
I think part of the gag is that Bieber’s impersonator is a woman, like Will Ferrell’s impersonation of Janet Reno.
This is why I don’t follow the “news”.
Reblogged this on The Road.
Somewhere I read recently that sideboob is so yesterday and crotch cleavage is the new thing…oy veh…
Well, that is another Internet search history which requires purging…
Don’t worry; the NSA has already tagged and filed it for you.

But it is so much more fun reading HuffPost. I try to read slate and other sites but they are boring.
