You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself

What kind of misogynistic pervert would collect seven women, dress them in nothing but lacy underwear, call them the “Cup Size Choir” — labeled A through G — and then compel them to sing “Deck the Halls” in order to create a video commercial for La Senza™ lingerie?

Tim Rogers, executive editor of Dallas magazine, decided that my flame war with Barrett Brown (which has provoked the threat of legal action) was a fit subject for a blog post that linked Max Blumenthal — of all people — as the authoritative source on me.
