ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This article is vulgar, insulting to women and opening up an OP of sexism.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jan 26, 2013, 09:16 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Not usually censorious, but this qualifies as over-the-top. Hide It.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The article may be vulgar, but it
It's only insulting (if at all, and that's a stretch) to the woman in the article, and she quite frankly deserves it! I don't understand how posting this article equals "opening up an OP of sexism". It's just a story, for crying out loud. A damned funny one, but just a story.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Post is nasty and conveys nothing worthy of discussion.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry censor Nazi, if you feel this is insulting to women take it up with the woman who did it. It's pretty pathetic that you troll the men's group looking for excuses to get your panties in a bunch. Shame on you.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
