Big Ben passes this one on to me: New Yorker inane ad of the week. "It's worth it just for the modified 'monocled man' drawing," he says. And he is correct.

Hey, the woman who invented that pool owns a beachhouse in Malibu that my friend rented for the summer a couple of years ago (he was feeling flush after writing the Contact screenplay) - and she had one of those pools in it, but it was broken. D'oh!

Sad thing is, The New Yorker has *such* good fiction and detailed (if rather upper-middle-class oriented) articles. That's why I read it at the library instead of subscribing (and I resist the urge to scribble sarcastic comments in the advertizements)
