    The following jokes appeared on July 7 on our very own locked Jared thread. So, quite lazy.

    Even the Post should draw the line at doing actual dick jokes in headlines.

    But prison rape is okay. Just don't mention the size of the dick that's doing it.

    I'm not ignoring that aspect. But editors shouldn't think dick jokes in headlines are cool, either.

    I got the subway connection but it was just too obvious.

    Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot-long pole.

    The whole, "dick joke!' thing makes me shake my head. This is what the NY Post does. And THAT is the headline that makes everyone go "tut tut"?

    The Post has a long tradition of dick -- all kinds of sex -- jokes in its headlines. I can find more outright dick jokes, I am sure, but. ...

    I understand it is different. ... Weiner did ACTUALLY expose his weiner. But this is the NY Post. This is what it does. Why anyone would be particularly bent out of shape by the Jared headline makes me scratch my head. It was relatively tame compared to things the Post has done in the past.

    I'm with you, Ragu. My reaction was a chuckle, a shrug and "it's the Post."

    Ragu, well played, particularly the "bent out of shape".

    I'm not that "clever." I wasn't trying to do a pun.
