For this I leave the cottage?

Here's the most offensive thing you'll read this week, if you're a woman. Or an enlightened man (tread verrrry carefully, menfolk).

I am supposed to be at the cottage with Husband and Dog right now, but had to come back because there's no such thing as a week off if you work for yourself. And as I was flipping through my various, uh, news sources and reports, I found this article from that deeply feminist, woman-loving magazine, Details.

Reading this particular Pulitzer prospect, I was especially impressed with the 'pig's ass' image they use to graphically represent curvy women. They're praising women with curves, see? But they don't want those curvy ladies to rise too far above their station as man-meat, see? Don't want them to think they deserve stuff like self-respect or they may stop wanting to be oggle-bots and bristle at the thought of being compared to farm chattel, see? So Details wisely portrays these women through the cute image of a pig in glittery heels, see?

When you click on the slide show--and you absolutely MUST click on it to see who Details rates as a pig (pig in the good sense, silly!)--note the little bar at the bottom of your browser screen. The one that tells you what data you're looking at? This lovely little presentation of some of the century's most beautiful women--and Miss Piggy (no, that's not a joke)--is entitled 072006FATTIES.

Fat: it's the new hot. And that's how Details likes its man-meat.
