Read other letters about this article
I guess I was wrong. I want the 10 minutes of my life back that I spent reading that article. Seriously - if this article had been printed anywhere else, the good writers of Broadsheet would have been quick to announce their disgust (rightfully so, in my mind).
While I'm getting good and worked up, does Ms. Kaplan write about anything but butts? Someone should tell her about the heartbreak of being typecast.
Finally, about those Editor's Choice selections - over 270 letters to the editor about this article. Per my quick persusal, a majority of those shared my low opinion of it. Fourteen selected as Editor's Choice, and ALL BUT ONE LOVED IT? Self-justifying, much? Who did the selecting, the author? Come on, folks, some of us only have time to read the EC letters. You ought to make an effort to showcase a variety of thoughts about the article - not just the ones you agree with.
