Would there be mass outrage if The Onion posted a story & pic like this- with the genders reversed?
Let's say a male internet news mogul, standing on a stage in front of a semi-naked female body assembled from the apparently chopped up parts of many different women, chained at the arms?
Oh my God- the Sociology Grad Student Theses almost write themselves; "Objectification Theory In Action- Reassembled Female Body Parts as sick "humor" and the male gaze internet pornification of society"
As it is, I haven't really been paying attention to how HuffPo has reorganized itself, so I admit I don't totally get the joke. But there it is.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
