To be sure, the reasons I heart the NYTare practically limitless, but there’s one in particular that stands out: Theycan pretty much write about whatever the fuck they want, independent of relevance, timeliness or even truthfulness…and get away with it.
Remember thatludicrous piece from 2007 aboutthestylishness of the 14th street and 8th avenue subway station? Well, the NYTpulled offa similar stunt in last week’spaperabout silly and lewd names for counties, towns and street names in Britain. "Crapstone," "East Breast," "Penistone" and "Butt Hole Road" were among those mentioned.
The article was pretty darn funny (I LOL’d by myself at least 3x!). ButIwas left wondering how a piece like this emerged during a time like this…and at a paper like this. I guess there wasn’t much newsy stuff going on, what with the recent inguration, the recession, the closing of Gitmo and the New York State Senatorial appointmentand all. I would loveto have been a fly on the wall during a recent NYT editorial meeting:
"Hey, let’s drop the Gitmo story andrun with the Slutshole Lane piece."
