It's All in the Context

I recently saw an article on the notoriously shallow and inane MSN News page entitled, "Tipping: Is 20% the New 15%?"


What a fascinating question! It and others like it might just keep me up all night:

Is turquoise the new black?

Is 8 the new 5?

Is cake the new pie?

Hilarious. And some people say po-mo has lost its ability to charm and inspire.
