Korea Has the Best-Dressed Protestors with the Prettiest Signs

All images: AP
So I guess there’s totally something up in Korea, because I saw all these protestors on TV. I didn’t really pay attention to what they were demonstrating about, though, because I kept getting distracted by their beautiful modernistic signs and their snappy protest outfits. They wear ties! They’re clean! And then I got sad because I started thinking about our dumpy ol’ protestors with their ugly Sharpie-scrawled signs, like that dowdy mother lady and all those Greenpeace interns, and, who knows, maybe even sign-wavers sporting “miniskirts, stiletto heels, low-cut spandex tops” and, God forbid, flip-flops like the Washington Times tried to warn us about the other day.

Let’s take a cue from our Korean friends and tighten-up a little, shall we? More good-looking signs and the people who wave (and burn) them after the jump.

Washington Times Hot ‘n’ Bothered over Interns, Flip-flops

Just when you thought all that flip-flop bashing and all those “OMG, our interns are too hot!” stories were totally played out, here comes the Times’ Stephanie Mansfield, late to the party but eager to please:
It’s the unofficial uniform of the summer interns, gaggles of college-age women and recent graduates who invade buttoned-down conservative Washington every summer, bringing a large dose of hotitude to offices from Capitol Hill to K Street. They’re known as “skinterns.” Those who think “belly shirts” are career wear. If the devil wears Prada, the skinterns wear nada. As if Washington wasn’t sweltering enough.
Um, hotitude? Stephanie, please contain yourself! All Times interns, especially those wearing “…miniskirts, stiletto heals, low-cut spandex tops…” are hearby warned to think twice before getting within arm’s reach of Ms. Mansfield’s overheated desk.

Wonkette Field Trip: A Pilgrimage to the Supremes (Part Two)

scotus%2016.JPGThe TV people were faked out by the Court today too. And unlike us, they brought all this crap with them.

Earlier today, we brought you the first installment of pictures from our field trip to the Supreme Court this morning. We thought it would be the final day of the Term. We thought wrong.

Now, the rest of our photo essay. Check out the pics, after the jump.

‘Post’ Flooding the Inappropriate Footwear Zone

postflip.jpgPulitzer winner Robin Givhan, in today’s Washington Post:

A foot in a flip-flop might as well be naked. And naked feet don’t belong anywhere near an office.

And columnist Mary Ellen Slayer, in the May 21 Washington Post:

And speaking of distractions, it’s also that time of year in which we have to persuade a misguided chunk of our young workforce that unless they are employed as lifeguards or gym-locker patrols, flip-flops are simply not suitable for work.

Ok, Downie, we get it. Next time, make like The Atlantic and send a damn memo.
