WHEN THEY ALLOW FUCK-ME HEELS, IT WILL MEAN THE END OF CIVILIZATION

Couldn't let this pass without mention: Today's New York Times features a profile of stripper-turned-screenwriter Diablo Cody, author of the well-regarded new comedy Juno. Not worth mentioning, except at one point in the article, author David Carr refers to Cody's "history as a do-me feminist."

Y'know, there was time, not too long ago, when so august a publication as The Times would never even consider using a phrase like "do-me feminist." We should pause now and remember those days, with appropriate mock solemnity, as we attempt to muffle our giggles.
