    If I could be home under a warm blanket right now, I would read that book.

    Of course, I would have a Bon Appetit magazine hidden inside, but no one would need to know that.

    How about just interviewing her on the huge strides she is making on an international level on our country's behalf? How about asking her about health care battle and how it compares to hers nearly 20 years ago? How about discussing the plight of women across the world as opposed to the "marginalization" of one of the highest ranking women in today's politics?

    ERGH!

    I think it's a reflection of the times, which are aggressively polemic and anti-intellectual. You don't ponder world events and their meaning. You come up with an issue that is divisive and play the two sides against each other. Then, someone wins, and someone loses. Voila! There's your journalism. And you didn't even have to leave your desk.

    @drinkwater: As a journalist, I'm going to take issue with "you didn't even have to leave your desk." I agree with everything else you said, and I hate that there is no room for in-depth coverage of events that aren't simply black and white. (It also doesn't help that Americans are so addled with their videogames and their crap reality TV and their brain-numbing movies that they can't even understand nuance.) But please do keep in mind that, especially in print journalism, there is no money anymore. Staffs have been cut back to absolutely nothing, and those of us who are left have neither the funding nor the ability to "leave our desks," as we are all doing the work of three or four reporters. As for the pay cuts we've taken, that's probably irrelevant to this conversation, so I won't go there. Oh, wait, I just did.

    @ihateyourescalade: I hear you. The two trends -- both the economic hardships of modern journalism and the modern intellectual laziness -- re-enforce each other.

    I'm going to assume that Ann Curry had more than one assistant to help her prepare the topic. She could have chosen better questions and simply did not.

    P.S. I love your name if it's what I think it's about.

    I've always felt that she must KNOW someone in the business, because she certainly didn't get where she is on her own. Her interviews are always painful to watch.

    @Tippi Hedren: It's not just her interviews; whenever she ad libs she comes off as a bit of an airhead.

    Also, and this is a personal pet peeve of mine, she routinely refuses to eat even one bite of the delicious things that celebrity chefs make in the studio because she doesn't eat carbs.

    Why is it so wrong to think some of the pictures from these shoots are beautiful? I'd LOVE to replace my stuffy, cheesy bridal portrait with one of me and my husband frolicking on a beach in our finery. Sadie, I understand your point and for those that wish to donate their dresses for a good cause: wonderful. What I don't understand is all the judgment going on here.

    oh, eff's sake. Look, a lot of people (I am one) still feel like no one should really see the dress before the wedding. That leaves the time between the wedding and the reception - half an hour? if you've been nice enough to give your guests some booze to drink in the meantime? - to take photos in your wedding clothes. What's wrong with hauling the dress back out in a few weeks and actually taking some fun photos in it? It's my dress!

    @likepenguins: Do you know what I hear in your comment? Mine, mine, me, me, mine. Yup, it's your dress and you can do whatever the fuck you want with it but guess what? We're grown ups now. Here's the deal, I won't judge you for choosing to trash your dress as opposed to donating it to a woman that doesn't have the same privilege as you do as long as you don't judge me for not wanting to trash my dress.

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: You know what, strike that. It's horseshit because I will judge and at least I'll fucking admit it. It enrages me that someone would rather take some fun pictures in a dress than give it to someone that is less fortunate than you. I'm not going to apologize for that.

    Donate the dress or trash it "in the name of art." I'm offended on behalf of the sweatshop workers and fashion designers who made the dress in the first place.

    At least, when it's donated, it will live a second life helping someone. I am an artist, but I think helping someone in need is more powerful than any artistic statement.
