Fiction from The New York Times, courtesy the Yes Men
A prank edition of The New York Times, published by the Yes Men, had me going a bit earlier today. After receiving a realistic looking release and knowing that 1·2 million copies had gone out in print, it was a heck of an expensive prank from the liberal group. But it worked. My […]

Michelle Obama looked perfectly fine in Narciso Rodriguez
I know we are a fashion magazine, but to see polls criticize the United States’ future First Lady, Michelle Obama, for choosing a dress from the Narciso Rodriguez spring 2009 collection and to say it wasn’t up to snuff is a bit much. Mrs Obama wore the dress at her husband’s victory speech on […]
