SATIRE / GOOFS
The satirical article below appeared in response to a silly article that appeared in the New York Daily News (read it here).
 

Indiana Jones and the Boutique of Form-Fitting Tees

The NY Daily News' Ben Widdicombe reports that action icon Harrison Ford recently went into a men's store in the Chelsea area of Manhattan and purchased three shirts from the 429 line of tees, apparently never realizing that the apparel utilizes the particular three digit moniker because it spells out G-A-Y on a telephone keypad.

Which totally reminds us of our own Ford-centric " ah shucks, I done been fooled" stories, like the time we mistakenly went to see What Lies Beneath because we thought it was finally going to show us the light saber that resides behind Hans Solo's trousers, never realizing that it was instead just gonna deal with Michelle Pfeiffer getting in touch with her inner creepy. Oh, and then there was the time we went to see Working Girl because we had an itchin' for a good flick about whores, yet we watched the entire film and nary a prostitute did we see. Or that one evening when we stupidly saw Patriot Games because nothing makes us happier than Olympic style competition being enjoyed by those who vigorously support and defend their country against detractors. Or what about that one day we paid our $7.50 to see Random Hearts, only to be disappointed when the post-previews screen was not filled with an assortment of various people's blood pumpers? Mistaken, we were.

So yea, don't feel foolish, Indy -- we all get thrown by a deceptive moniker now and again.

In a related story, we hear that Harrison's reported lady friend Calista Flockhart recently bought a sock from big gal store Lane Bryant, never realizing that what she had purchased was actually not meant to be used as a sweater dress.
