HuffPo as HuffPorn: NSFW photos, banana-eating models & me

February 6, 2010 by William K. Wolfrum 

When I wrote that I believed that The Huffington Post was “about eight minutes away from becoming a full-on masturbation magazine,” many chided me for over-the-top hyperbole.

“HuffPo is actually becoming very tabloidized–I seldom go there now. But the author defeats his point,”wrote a commenter on Daily Kos.

Not long after I published my post on the subject, Diane Tucker – fearless soul she is – wrote her own take on the subject – “Writer William K. Wolfrum Slams HuffPo For Becoming HuffPorn.”

Where did the post end up?

HuffPorn

Check the bottom left. The story below the NSFW photos, banana-eating models and Vanessa Hudgen nude pic stories. I must remember to thank those at HuffPo for saving me from Hyperbole charges.

    It’s been a fairly vindicating week. Carnival is coming up, so some vindication is good beforehand, just to be on the safe side.
