While you're looking for "upskirts" at PhoneBin, you'll have to search at least 10 pages before finding one. During your search, you'll be subjected to no less than 90% of the pictures being young women baring their breasts or bottoms, sometimes naked, sometimes in lingerie, in a mirror or otherwise. Talk about ridiculous.

This is another example of trying to stir some contreversy up, and using stupid evidience. How about just walking into your local mall?

The other day, I was at a mall, (and I was there to shop, not look up or at skirts). However, I went up the escalator behind some young "ladies" and the skirts were so short, I had to consciously put my head down so I wouldn't be labeled a "perv"

Talk about mixed messages...if your skirt is too short to go up an escalator without the person behind you getting an eyeful, maybe you shouldn't wear something like that. I was almost hoping someone would take a picture, and send it to their parents...

However, admittedly, there should be some kind of moral education for young people that explains how rude it is to be invading someone's personal space and snapping pictures of their knickers. But it just seems obvious.

People seem to have a lot of pent-up anger about one man's slightly humorous search for a car.

It's odd how the mini-van lost out in the "use of space" comparison, because generally speaking, they are just amazingly designed for safety and day-to-day hauling.

And also, I think the issue isn't Miles per year, it's Miles per PERSON...if the only time he fires up his automobile is for hauling an entire family around, what's it to ya?

And for all those jack-offs complaining about breeders, they should try to fit 2 car seats and a friend into ANY car that doesn't have a third row. Impossible and unfair to the people involved. There's also safety requirements for children up to 7-8 years old with respect to car seats, and we can't just "throw a bunch of kids" in the back of a sedan or station wagon - it's illegal and quite unsafe. Each human being in a car deserves the benefit of a safety belt or safety device like a car seat.

I liked this article, even though it could've been fleshed-out some more with details about how the comparison between 2 cars was made.

You forgot Anne Coulter. She'd happily step in to be the shill if Rush died of heart failure (not a big stretch there).

wow. people should be taught the same things. YAWN.

move along citizens, nothing to see here.

It's an article that jumps all over the globe to give us economics 101 about the sex-trade industry, except, at the end of the quaint little rant, Flory decides to give us the REAL ZINGER: prostitutes are being exploited and earn even less now.

wow. The profundity is blowing me away. the economy is in the shitter, and people are earning less. wow. I can't wait to see the follow-up. Maybe it'll be something like this: "American prostitutes take Euros". And she'll make me read an entire 800 words before before she gets to the point, which will be something so insultingly obvious, that I will yet again lament the time I spent reading it.

Move along citizens, she's coughed up another turd. She's trying to be provocative, and comes up short yet again.

I think she's like 1 for 9 with me this year on anything interesting.

One WANTS to try and like her work, but it just doesn't measure up. Her credits and such would make it seem like she could write a consistently good blurb, article, or even advertorial, but jesus christ my 5 year old daughter has a better grip on her feminine power and can write better and more honestly than this clown.

Have a great Weekend.

I think this poor gal needs some exercise...and some green vegetables. Wow. Could be a pretty face hidden inside all of those trans-fats.

Which is to say nothing of her vapid and shallow devotion to a book about effeminate vampires crossed with a 90210 zip code.

And anyone who thinks her reaction is anything but staged and forced, you're slow and need to bone up on your cynicism skills.

yet another waste of space from Flory.

Someone save Salon. It's starting to suck. What happened to King Kaufman? What happened to some solid reporting on anything interesting?

If not for Andrew Leonard, Gary Kamiya and Glen Greenwald, my $60. would go towards coffee.

Didn't notice one fathers' names in there. Call it for what it is - Mothering and guilt, not parenting.

I'm a parent, and I don't get all up in my kid's business 24/7.

If you can't realize that stepping off and letting your kid solve some of their own problems (for better or worse) is a good thing, you're a crappy "parent" (mother).

Rich ivy-league busybodies deserve every ounce of time on the couch they pay for. This lunatic from the Times Magazine sounds like a real supporter of the psychiatric arts.

I guess this article was good, but I'm not sure what it's saying other than poking fun at the lady at the times who keeps flip-flopping on what her parenting philosophy is.

'nuff said.

I'm surprised they even bothered to put this much effort into their lobbying strategy.

But your focus on petroleum based cosmetics is a nice blurb. Where would women be without Lipstick?

classic stuff... if not for your column, this website would be a waste.

I'm confused by the column, except for Archie's decision.

Of COURSE he chose Veronica - she's got the cash, and he's got a pre-nup. He is also the kind of guy who needs a little instruction, and Veronica and her father are there to give it to him.

Why should Archie chose anything but the path of least reisistance?
