Well, having visited said website, all we can say is that if it's a joke it's the most labor-intensive, earnest joke in the history of not-funny jokes including the entire Carrot Top oeuvre. e-MANcipate!, you see, "is a project to accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item....As it's a relatively new thing, some might feel uncomfortable or confused with the situation - that his legs are covered by pantyhose." Yeah, we do.

Also, we don't understand why anyone would wear hose voluntarily when we've only recently liberated ourselves from them. Maybe if you work on the Beltway (we understand hose are still de rigeur in the capital)? While we're happy to let frumpiness be equal-opportunity, men need to understand that this is a major step back for leg-kind. Color us aboLEGionists. Or something.

<![CDATA[Anna Wintour's Heart Of Darkness]]> For its "Girls Of Summer" issue, Vogue sent Keira Knightley to Africa. On vacation! There,

...Keira posed in dresses by Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Junya Watanabe, Phillip Lim, YSL, Chanel and Commes des Garcons.
...The numerous African tribesmen flanking Keira wore mostly identical robes in red plaid. (Unbranded).
...She fed milk in a bottle to a baby elephant wearing a blanket adorned with a giant logo (Louis Vuitton)
...Keira worked on her "first Vogue assignment." (Keeping a diary of her trip!)
...The diary was also branded Louis Vuitton.
...According to excerpts from the diary, Keira wrote: "Masai Mara is wide, green, and beautiful."
...And: "All the furniture is like something from Out of Africa"!
...And also: "I'm in love with a white-and-cream Marc Jacobs dress."
..."Oh, the pain of true love."

Oh, the pain of true crap. After the jump, we feel that pain.

On second thought, maybe Anna Wintour has a point: The day a rich white Brit can't go on a decent 1920s To the Manor Born-sorta safari and pose for pictures with lots of richly-adorned natives is the day Africa has let the AIDS/genocide/tuberculosis/dengue fever/river blindness/malaria/ kleptocracies/conflict diamond miners/female mutilators win.
