Every once in a while, I stumble upon a piece of writing that makes me giggle malevolently. You know those moments in action movies when there's that moment of grim satisfaction after the hero absolutely destroys the villian, and all the pent-up urges you've had to see that villian get annhilated are released?
Yeah, sometimes that happens in writing. And, for a word nerd like me, it's just as glorious.
For example, a Salon.com article by Wajahat Ali decrying the shallowness and inanity of Sex and the City 2.
Kaboom.
The Money Shot: (although there are many.)
"Our four female cultural avatars, like imperialistic Barbies, milk Abu Dhabi for leisure and hedonism without making any discernable, concrete efforts to learn about her people and their daily lives."
Imperialistic Barbies...well-played, sir.
