The Little Shit Who Was
Salon.com : “The article ‘When Toddlers Get Fired’ has been changed since its original publication, at the request of the author. A partial line of dialogue, including an expletive, was removed. [Correction made 5/30/05]“
Those of you who’ve been following along will recall that when Neal Pollack’s recent piece on salon.com was first published, he had his wife referring to their 2-year-old son as ‘the little shit’. It was changed to simply ‘he’.
Since neither salon.com nor Neal Pollack has shown any prior concerns about publishing words like ‘shit’, it seems more than a little precious that salon.com should coyly refer to the missing words as “including an expletive”. Since when are they so delicate?
Hm. Weird. Is salon.com going all wussy?
