We cannot in any form attest to the veracity of the above screen grab, sent to us by a reader performing a ritual cleaning of his inbox. We can, however, attest to its hilarity. As the story goes, said reader sent an email to Mr. Carter suggesting that he change his Vanity Fair photograph to something more handsome or whatnot. In turn, he supposedly received this kind response from the big G-C.

Editorial eloquence, as demonstrated through the art of technological drollery.
[A quick tip, kids: Forged emails make us laugh a lot harder if you put a name in the "from" field. But this was still a nice effort.]
