City Newspaper, Rochester's so-called "alternative" paper, has a story about Gannett's Insider. For their Mothers' Day edition, the Insider ran a story on "Rochester MILFs". MILF stands for "Mother I'd Like to Fuck", for anyone who missed American Pie and/or the last decade of American culture.
City makes the obvious point that a newspaper company that rails against gangsta rap and the coarsening of our culture is being just a teensy bit hypocritical when they front-page fuck-worthy single Moms. City fails to note that a publication from a company that wins diversity awards wasn't able to find a single MoCILF (Mother of Color I'd Like to Fuck) in Rochester.
I would have thought City, which is a bastion of complacent baby-boom liberalism, would want to advocate for MoCILFs. I guess an "alternative" weekly that is too timid to even print the word "fuck" can't be expected to comment on this obvious omission.
Even though Gannett is getting a little heat on this, expect more of it in the future. A new reader sent me some historical D&C circulation rates, and they are grim. The D&C lost almost 10,000 Sunday subscribers in the last year. I don't know if MILFs can reverse a hemorrhage like that. Maybe the D&C should start featuring Page Three Girls.

DeBlase never seems to have a problem getting a few 'fucks' in...."the drummer shouted "Wake the fuck up, Rochester!" I think it's better than that "Made for Living" shite, don't you?" [July of '07]
though that was then, this is here
I confess to perhaps missing a few issues of City maybe a f-bomb or two slipped by. Another example of the middle age, fuddy-duddy nature of that rag is the lack of a sex columnist.
The problem with the 'Insider' article is that none of those chicks are milfs. And I don't mean their looks.
A milf has to have a son roughly between the ages of 14 and 21, so that his friends can use the term correctly.
No one looks at a young mom and pokes his 3-yr-old buddies and says "I'd so fuck that - what a milf". You gotta be able to say "Dan's mom is a total milf", you know?
The article should have been called "Got moyc". Ahh, what do I mean - it never should have been written in the first place.
Artie -- I see your point. But think about this: wouldn't the guy singing about Stacy's Mom still refer to her as a MILF even though she doesn't have a 14-21 yo son?
Moms with adolescent daughters? That works as well. No infants, please.
Too bad Insider couldn't find anyonme as hot as Rachel Hunter 'round here.
