Apparently, Erin Aubry Kaplan published two previous articles on butts; this is the third. Each one discussed in great detail - her own butt. Apparently, in the LA Weekly (?) story, there were photos of Erin's butt.
People are mostly outraged that Joan Walsh enabled Kaplan's narciss-ism to masquerade as journal-ism.
I feel worst for the black women, most of whom have commented here that the article was deeply offensive, although I think a couple thought it was worthy.
My sweetheart, who is black, relayed this story: A bunch of guys in his office were trying to decide where to go to lunch. They turned to my sweetheart and said: "Hey, Don, we figured you'd be the one in the office who'd know of the best fried chicken place."
People like Erin Aubry Kaplan indirectly encourage this level of discourse.
Btw, even though my sweetheart is black, he had no idea where the best fried chicken place could be found. Go figure.
