    Perhaps the culture warriors have been reading too much Conservapedia and not enough Urban Dictionary.

    I am hoping that these giant missteps from a usually much more polished message machine is the beginning of the failure of the Culture War. I was talking with someone yesterday who thought that the fact that there is no one around these people when they are jumping for joy over their new brand –2M4M, have mercy — to actually tell them that this has another meaning shows that they will be dying out. If the young ones aren’t there to tell them about the personal column code, then they are done for.
