"It pushed the journalistic envelope with a three-word phrase in the cover headline, which was posted online Tuesday. The phrase -- which can be rendered here only in sterile, Starr report-like language -- is a colloquial term for an act of oral sex performed on a man. The headline sparked a wave of angry calls to the alternative weekly, complaints from a handful of distributors and charges of racism from Barry supporters yesterday. "Some people are going to find that vulgar -- that's inevitable," Editor Erik Wemple said, taking a break from fielding at least 30 calls from irate readers. "If they find it vulgar, they can complain. It's worth putting it out there, and it's the truth. Sometimes the truth is vulgar."

The man should be flogged. When he finally leaves the planet (soon, we hope), I will go downtown to piss on his grave...
Think of all the weeping unsatisfied women he will leave behind.
"charges of racism from Barry suppporters"? Oh lord! It may be tacky and trashy, but racist? That would be so typical of Barry supporters, who consider any criticism of his phoniness to be racist by definition.
