I’m so happy to read this.
I read the original piece right after an afternoon of trying to buy clothes and getting “we don’t make large sizes in this store” everywhere, with the medium sizes fitting up to the point where the zipper won’t close anymore because of my naturally big breasts, so I was particularly vulnerable to screaming at the author (even as I recognized that he shouldn’t be a jerk to women with surgically augmented breasts either.)

What’s sad is, the original line was “firefighters, cheerleaders, and race car drivers,” so I just changed the middle one, and then I looked at it and realized I had a list of stereotypical Red-Blooded American Male types, not a list of stereotypical sex objects, so I had to add the “slutty” bit. (I mean yes, athletes and men in uniform are culturally considered attractive, but not in a “Let’s go eat wings and stare at their cocks and pretend they’re being nice to us because we’re special” way.) In this entire thing, that was probably the most depressing line to write.

The internet is full of wonder this morning. Now I’m going to spend the rest of the day imagining the non-existent trend of “slutty football player” Halloween costumes.

I think I’m done having mental pictures of dicks for at least a month.

The NYT piece will happen, but not for a couple of years.

I cannot believe I missed that opportunity. I bow to you, ma’am.

I love this! And I love how the original inspiration was a TREND PIECE! I mean if that whole genre hasn’t shamed itself into nonexistence by now, then what can’t we claim is a trend? I half-expect someone from the New York Times to link to your spoof, with a very somberly-intoned intro about how “A small but growing number of men are sporting large but shrinking amounts of wiener, says one member of the so-called ‘blog-o-sphere.’”
