Hey, I Don’t Steal Hitchens Columns
December 5th, 2006 by Justin
Okay, Timothy Noah of Slate decides to single out random lines in the New York Times and mock them:
The Dec. 4 New York Times contains the single stupidest sentence to appear in that newspaper since I began reading it more than three decades ago. It’s in a news story by Holli Chmela about the Kennedy Center Honors, an annual ceremony recognizing lifetime achievement in the performing arts. One of this year’s winners was Andrew Lloyd Webber. Here is the sentence:
Mr. Lloyd Webber is often referred to as the Shakespeare of his time with musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera.
Keep off the grass mother fucker.
• You know, that kind of stuff is just mean spirited [Slate]
