IT'S LIKE THIS BLOG, EXCEPT WITH MORE PRETTY PICTURES: Well, in spite of (or is it because of) its inecessant hype in the form of creative vandalism, and Gawker's unhealthy obsession with it, I picked up a copy of Radar this evening. And you know what? Wing Chun was dead right. Radar is the bastard child of Spy and Talk, and that alone makes it worth reading, especially when you get articles like the fascinating one about the dark side of Disney World employment, and Dan Radosh's hysterical questioning of how we've been defining "fameworthy" downward. I'm not sure how long it'll last, given that there are plenty of new routes for immediate pop cultural snark, and given that neither Spy nor Talk lasted that long, but it's well worth picking up for your airplane reading this Memorial Day.
