For the Articles, I'm sure...
This evening, I was in a bookstore and watched from afar as a colleague purchased the latest issue of Playboy. I thought I'd walk up and say hi, but then reconsidered. I'm sure those articles are great.

Do you object to the idea that your colleague likes looking at naken women, or that your colleague can't figure out how to find naked women on the internet?
I for one thoroughly enjoyed the puerile mayhem of "Machete"--and yes, I don't text unless I improvise--and I also confess to a lurid fascination with Lohan--who I assume graces (if that's the word) the newest cover of PB--but if that makes me awful then my $$$ to Oxfam today is penance, and should I be Spiros's object of revulsion, then I've arguably paid off my contribution to negative utility.
Now there's a paper--behavioral versus economic utility as indicative of an overall good life.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

wv: gunplate; the philosophy of dirty harry
No objection to either.
Well since he was buying the magazine all out on the open, I reckon you should have approached him. Depending of course on the colleague...
Who said it was a him, Anon 1:30?
