We're not entirely sure why Rob is calling for a boycott of the New York Times on the Post's website but we'll try to overlook that and think of it as "cross-promotion." What's really crazy is that over 10 billion people agree that they Life and Style section is going to destroy civilization (We always thought "John and Kate Plus 8" would be the culprit). To put that in context, 306 million people live in the United States, so approximately 30 times as many people really hate the Times (we bet the paper is thrilled to have so many readers). We hope that posting this comment won't set off a mass exodus from New York (that is after all where the New York Times is located), but be warned you're fair game and 10 billion people who can apparently express they're hatred (along with the most inane aspects of their daily lives) in 140 characters or less are coming to get you. We're atwitter with fear ourselves.
