Sporting Beauties + TimesOnline Redux

Last time I wrote about reading newspapers I probably came off as far more cultured. Nevertheless, last time I wrote about sporting beauties I probably came off as far less cultured. This time I just have to share this eye-opening and rather hilarious article, entitled Sex and the Olympic City:

Read it!

Speaking of article titles, I was pretty impressed with this one but I am even more so by the actual SATC's titles. They're all very punny, relevent, and actually fit every single storyline in one way or another. For example the episode No Ifs, Ands or Butts is not only about Carrie giving up smoking for a man, but about the dealbreakers in the other characters' relationships. I wish I could be that clever; the titles I'm most proud of are 'judging a book by its cover', (10 points for originality there!) 'it's a feminist issue' (although the actual post turned into a great big mess) and 'not just a pretty face' (again, the content left a little to be desired).

Maybe I should just imitate the cool blogs such as gnarlitude aka sleep deprivation and stories of my bullshit youth (how COOL can a blog get???) and just use song lyrics my posts. Hang on, I dont know enough songs...
