Well, if our pal Momus ever got caught out in an intellectual scandal, the Post could write:

OHO! BOHO MOMO'S POMO NONO!

I really, really wish the NYPost would put out a coffee table book of their best covers/headlines. I'd totally buy that shit.

my friend lukas had the front page story yesterday.

one year passes...

Okay, so: was it the Post or the Daily News that had a headline this weekend -- referring to Hillary Clinton -- that read HILL SLAP?

I spent a good five minutes trying to sort out what the pun was (bull crap? Ronnie Milsap?) before I realized it was an incredibly sly way of calling Hillary Clinton a bitch.

i think you're overthinking it, nabisco

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

Then what does it MEAN, Gabbneb???

I mean, trust me, I thought maybe I was overthinking it, but c'mon: this is a tabloid newspaper! They take loads of pride in constructing front-page headlines. I'm confident that a whole bunch of very bright (and very bitter/cynical) people were involved in constructing HILL SLAP, and that they thought about it way more than I did. It's not like tabloid headlines are thought up by a sole humorless schlub somewhere.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

maybe you're right, but i think it means just what it says.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

What were the article's contents, if you read it?

― Abbott (Abbott), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

But the headline as it stands doesn't say anything. The story was about an attack on her, I think, which would call for maybe HILL GETS SLAPPED. If it was the other way around, maybe HILL SLAPS. But what they chose -- HILL SLAP -- suggests that a slap has occurred, and the type of the slap was ... a HILL SLAP. Which means nothing; it doesn't pun; it doesn't play off of anything. Except that there's a common term "bitch slap."

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

xpost

I didn't read it, I just stood there confused for a while and then got a little upset.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

What is the sound of one Hill slapping?

― Abbott (Abbott), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

P.S. HILL'S SLAP would have made more sense as well, if it really were intended to "just mean what it says."

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

I'm assuming it was about the thing Elizabeth Edwards supposedly said (my choices made me happier than Hillary) or the thing her rival (i don't even remember which GOP guy is which in NY this year) supposedly said (she got plastic surgery because she used to be ugly)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

i.e., a shorter version of "SLAP AT HILL"

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

we want hill fap.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

HILL SLAP = Hillary Clinton equivalent of "booty clap."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 23 October 2006 22:19 (eighteen years ago)

I think it was the Daily News, but maybe something shittier like The Trentonian, that in 2003 ran a cover with Bush holding a pickaxe photoshopped next to Saddam displayin a sword and the headline "EN GARDE!"

Ike/Tina wound up here, because I couldn't find this thread:

Rolling Tabloid Headline Thread

― nabisco, Sunday, 27 January 2008 08:43 (seventeen years ago)

P.S.: I don't know why I even asked about HILL SLAP, upthread -- it's pretty much a Daily News fixture to write "bitch" headlines. The last two I can remember are ... something about Leona Helmsley and her dog, and an Paris-goes-to-jail cover that said "PAYBACK IS A (PICTURE OF PARIS HILTON)."

― nabisco, Sunday, 27 January 2008 08:46 (seventeen years ago)

After Diana's fatal accident I was hoping for "DI DIES" or something of that sort (you could work Dodi into it too), but it turned out to be respectful and boring.
