NYT: Sex Over Death on the Front Page

Posted by Saturn Smith on October 1, 2009

I’m still hiatusing, but this at least deserves some pictorial comment. 

Here’s the top of the NYT home page right now:


Yeah, the biggest news in the world right now revolves around two wealthy white guys who had affairs within their offices.  Uh-huh.  Except… wait, if I scroll down a little… OK, more than a little…

Hey, over 1,000 people are dead in Indonesia! If only one of them had had an affair with a married co-worker (or with a co-worker’s wife), maybe they’d get to be the lead story tonight!

Good grief. At least Jon Gosselin isn’t on the cover.
