The Los Angeles Times is Stupid (Canto MCXVI)
It's painful picking up the Los Angeles Times every morning and notice it's getting lighter every week.

Los Angeles Times is Talkin' Shit!
Call it more progressive (read: adult) editorial stance, a copyeditor's error, or a raised middle-finger to the paper's days of branding itself a "family newspaper," I have to admit being tickled at the sight of the word "shit" popping up in today's print edition of the LA Times.
