We love a site called RegretTheError.com. It highlights corrections and retractions from newspapers, magazines and websites from around the world.
Like this one, for example, from the digital pages of Salon.com:
The June 16 Broadsheet post “Study: Fat Women Starved of Sex” originally stated that “obese men had just as much nookie as average guys.” It should have read, “obese men were just as likely to have had a sexual partner in the last 12 months as average guys.”
Salon was embarrassed for having used the word nookie. But we suspect the embarrassment wasn’t for using an inappropriate word, but for using one that’s been tragically unhip since about 1973.
NOTE: The phrase “tragically unhip” has been tragically unhip since about 1986. Please accept our apologies.

well that is horrible vague
obese could be a dude who is muscular, but bmi doesnt take that into account, and so, he is classified as obese, obese could also be a dude with a bit of a stomach, or just all around flabby
obese is a word that makes us think of greasy fat f*cks, but its really a broken word based off an inaccurate system (BMI) that was never intended to judge a person's health, though for some reason, BMI rules everything these days.
anyways, fat chicks dont get much love because most guys dont like fat chicks
and "fat" dudes get the same love because more than likely, they arent actually fat.
But, one of the best rock n roll bands ever to come south from canada is in fact The Tragically Hip. Just had to put that in here, as impertinent is it is........
Goodbye breakfast. I should have looked at this last night when I'd had a few.
AAHHH!! I will send the invoice for the bleach I used to pour into my eyes!!!
But, admittedly, I do like grapes.
