I don't have a TV -- well that's not literally true, as I own a cathode-ray tube device for viewing home movies and select children's fare on DVD -- and I rarely ever make it through an entire Heather Havrilesky article because they are generally too long, and the subject matter too foreign to hold my attention.
I'll say this, however: HH is a fine writer with acute insight and understanding of both the culture TV mirrors and the humans who populate and consume it.
Her appropriation of the Taepodong motif is one of the more brilliant things I've read recently.
Indeed, if you are the Taepodong who watches alot of television or cares about its larger "meaning" in the least, you have no business taking Ms. H to task fro her work here.
It goes hand-in-glove, as it were.
