• We Say Goodbye to The Bootylicious "Hitman" Poster

  Maybe you saw or heard about the (perhaps overly revealing) poster for Hitman, the film adaptation of the video game series which starred a deeply miscast Timothy Olyphant -- and which bombed at the box office last month? OK, maybe you didn't. Certainly you didn't see the flick. We sure as hell didn't. We've pretty much subscribed whole hog to UK critic Mark Kermode's theory about video games and movies, actually. But that's neither here nor there. Here's why we bring it up, and why we love living in the big city: because for weeks now, you can't walk past a copy of the Hitman poster in the subways without finding someone's attempt to rip out the part showcasing Olga Kurylenko's superb, barely clad backside. We'd guess they're being saved for posterior. (ZING! New York loves the booty, y'all!)

Sadly the fare sale ended last night at midnight, but don't worry: you can still apply online for the Spirit Airlines frequent flyer program. It's called the Mile High Club! ZING!
