Culure-Trend Story Criticism

This story tells you just about all you need to know about the WP's non-political coverage. The NYT style section was writing about wingwoman.com like 2 years ago. (That's not one but two steps removed from the existence of wingmen, because A) it's a woman, and B) there's a company based on it.) Miller Lite based a whole ad campaign around the wingman thing, also like 2 years ago. And today, the WP discovers the wingman concept.

As Yglesias puts it:

Next up -- the kids these days sometimes go to bars and consume alcoholic beverages as a social activity! The sun shines brightly in the day, but not so much at night! It's really fucking humid in this town during the summer!
