Reader's Dickgest
So I'm standing in line at Dominion, and the line never moves quickly at Dominion, so I'm looking at the cover of the new Reader's Digest. And it's the humour issue. And every single person mentioned on the cover is a man.
Which is not that surprising. What is surprising is that the very top cutline of the magazine says:
Why punchlines split the sexes.
Which means issues involving humour and gender were on the magazine's radar, and yet they still managed to create a cocktail wienie cover. That's truly sad.
