At the risk of sounding prudish, let me ask if I’m the first person to notice that the New York Times Web site is now running advertisements for erotica. So, I’m reading the big Rush Limbaugh profile at Pitfire Pizza and what do I see…

If you click through to Eden’s site you find listings for such enticing titles as Anal Massage For Lovers and Blow Him Away. Is this a new thing, or just something I’m picking up for the first time?

So I’m browsing through Christopher Hitchens’ latest screed over at Slate tonight, and what do I bump into but an advertisment for the New York Times. Seems a bit funny, seeing as Slate is owned by the Washington Post Company. I’ve always thought of them as competitors with the NYT.

But maybe I’m wrong. What do you think? Seems a little weird to me.
