Reason Number 379 To Hate The New York Post: They Made the Oscars About Diablo Cody's Stripper Tattoo

Posted by Emily Farris

In case you've forgotten, we're mad at The New York Post—so mad, in fact, that we called for a sex boycott of anyone who reads the paper. Well, hey, remember The Oscars? That big awards show/party last night everyone got all dressed up for and is still talking about? Of course, The Post found a way to make it about all Diablo Cody—the former exotic dancer turned screenwriter—and her super scandalous tattoos, with a cover shot of her pretty fucking cool ink and a headline that read "Who's Tat Girl! Pretty-in-ink former stripper wins for 'Juno.' Then they ran a picture making it look like she was giving Mr. Oscar head...

We'll admit. We would have loved this image on the cover of just about any other publication. Except for this line "And the shocker Oscar went to... a sharp-tongued, tattooed, former stripper who glorified a sassy, pregnant teen and her geeky boyfriend..." That's fucking right.
