The New York Post just can’t let it go
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Folks at the New York Post are still holding a grudge against LeBron James for choosing the Miami Heat over their Knicks last Thursday night.

Don’t piss off the people of Poughkeepsie
Friday, July 9th, 2010So here’s what happened…
1. The jokers (sorry) at DC Comics decided to give Wonder Woman a new costume.
2. Kelly Cutrone — a fashion consultant — comments on the news look thusly:
She’s gone from Paris to Poughkeepsie. I just think it’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
3. Well, what do you think happened? The Poughkeepsie Journal — circulation 29,767 — just had to put something about it out on A1 today:
I know what you’re thinking. Yeah, that’s the new Wonder Woman costume. Very 1990s, ain’t it?
Here’s a closer look at the centerpiece:
When questioned about it, Cutrone told Journal staffer John W. Barry she wasn’t trying to dis the city. She was referring to the local mall — the Poughkeepsie Galleria, where Cutrone apparently shops:
“Her look is ’shopping mall,’ ” Cutrone said of Wonder Woman’s makeover. “It’s like any shopping mall, but my mall is the Poughkeepsie mall. Wonder Woman looks like any girl in a mall — anywhere.”
Naturally, Barry then contacted the marketing director for the Galleria for further comment:
We are what our shoppers are. I think they are great and they are tastefully dressed.
You can laugh at this story if you like. But I’d argue it’s better than reading about LeBron effin’ James for three weeks.

Not surprisingly, Fox News bemoans the costume change as unpatriotic. Never mind the fact that the fictional Diana Prince wasn’t American to begin with: She’s an Amazon from Paradise Island. Read that story here.
