Okay, I'm close to taking Salon off my bookmarks. More VH1/E!/Gawker lightweight pop bullshit pandering to gossipy women. I remember when this used to be an intelligent website for real people, not an emptyheaded read for shallow liberals-by-fashion queens in urban centers who spend their time obsessing over pop culture and fashion.
Really, come ON. At least give us the letter from the editor admitting that Salon is intentionally marketing itself to an urban female audience so that the rest of us, who don't like being cynically condescended and marketed to, can leave and read something interesting and intelligent, something that's meant to be newsworthy, relevant, well-written, and of interest to anyone.
