'NYT': The Pub That Dare Not Speak Its Name
You know how it is when you run a family newspaper. Sometimes you can't publish the name of a bar you're writing about if there's a chance it could offend people.
How else to explain this weekend's article in The New York Times 'City' section, which saw fit to describe an an East Village gay bar without naming it once?
So what if the place is called The Cock? The Times' newly-acquired "web presence" About.com isn't afraid to out it as one of its "Top 10 Top Clubs, Bars and Lounges."
God forbid The Cock should host a revival of Shopping and Fucking or a reading of Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Heads would surely explode over on West 43rd Street.
