On the mean streets of the gritty city, nothing is as it seems. The welcoming avenues of beautiful Brooklyn host a barely-concealed ecosystem of predators, ready to attack any sign of weakness. The Brooklyn Paper's police blotter offers us the grimmest of lessons, that we may not need to learn the hard way.

So, Who Did Jennifer Love Hewitt Jerk Off This Week?: Betty White

Rich Juzwiak · 06/18/12 05:45PM

On the season finale of of The Jennifer Love Hewitt Handjob Hour The Client List, Love's character Riley attacked no purple-headed warriors. Rather, she did the mental masturbation thing she's fallen into with her clients, rubbing their egos and soothing their insecurities as opposed to, you know, manipulating their dicks to orgasm. Paul Dooley, the guy who played the dad in Sixteen Candles, stopped by for a legit stroke but immediately died on the table. There's the rub, you could say if you wanted to be stupid about it. Then, Betty White, playing his wife, showed up and got excited that her husband was dead because he was terrible and she's had a lover forever anyway who apparently gives great oral sex. Betty White saying, "The things that man can do with his tongue!" would have been The Client List's greatest gift if it were two years ago and we weren't yet sick to death of Betty White.

Oh heck, a new survey says that going to the movies is a "frequent source of entertainment" for only 3% of your fellow Americans. Three dang percent. What the hey are you doing with your time now, Americans? Masturbating? Where, and in what ways? Do you have pictures? That's not the point. The point is that the movies must be saved. But how?

The De-Watergating of American Journalism

John Cook · 06/18/12 02:24PM

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's investigation into the origins of the Watergate break-in—which took place 40 years ago yesterday—is one of the most highly mythologized episodes in the history of journalism. It represents the Platonic ideal of what journalism-with-a-capital-J ought to be, at least according to its high priesthood—sober, careful young men doggedly following the story wherever it leads and holding power to account, without fear or favor. It was also a sloppy, ethically dubious project the details of which would mortify any of the smug high priests of journalism that flourished in its wake. The actual Watergate investigation could never have survived the legacy it helped create.
