This has become a cosmic joke not only on the characters involved but the media as well. Even you got something out of it, you get to be holier then thou on the internet. Good for you.

It's never struck me as a term one applies to one's own ladyparts, is all I'm saying.  Correct me if I'm wrong. More to the point, however, is the hilarity of the post.  I lol'd when my wife showed it to me, almost as hard as she did.

For the same reason I used to populate test data bases with actual information, not whatever the programmers might put in, which was usually offensive.  That way, when you forget that the client has demo access, they don't run your test pages and end up ordering "42  $1000 Boogers" to be shipped to "Mrs. Buttface, 123 Lane, Anywhere, KS, 55555" Having worked on many production teams in my day this is more likely the result of the old ‘data placeholder’ snafu.  Someone was making up the gfx and inserted this image in place of the real one, then, to their horror, they went to lunch and the segment got aired before they could switch back.

If they did they would have noticed that it came from a cheeky blog. Best journalistic practices say document your source. If the source is not documented how can anyone be sure the photo is available for use without charge?  I agree that most news sources can use a promotional book image under fair use but any image of the cover is not the official promotional image. All major publishers use an official promotional image because of concerns about image quality and version, also many book jackets are regional or retailer specific.  The staff member who pulled that photo obviously did not take the time to note the source of the downloaded photo.

But this is not necessarily that. Women can use "offensive" slang as much as men, ideally in a non-slut shaming context. He was all up in HER snatch, he was educated by HER is a clear implication. In our sexist society I'm sure most will see it as a put-down of her, but I like to see it in a sexually empowered woman way. I also LOVE the implied meaning that Petraeus was schooled by Broadwell AND Vernon Loeb. Excellent comment, and I certainly agree with you on the need to eliminate slut-shaming.
