Anyone.... anyone?

It's been so overused that it has passed into the realm of "Teh STOOOPID".

Try reading it as Gay't, which means somewhere Oscar Wilde has summed this up in a witty aphorism. Babygay't - Sex is always a secret except for the three people involved.

Sounds like a good way to think about it.

It's the mother of all irritations.

Still, one would hope that the media would get creative one of these days.
