New York Magazine Deletes Sexist Post About First Lady Michelle Obama


New York Magazine's Daily Intel blog is in part written by a 12 year old boy who treasures that stack of Hustler magazines hidden underneath his bed, we're sure.

Thankfully an adult, possibly a woman, follows Dan Amira around and deletes his posts.

Dan Amira's recently deleted Daily Intel post was headlined, "Now That's Something To Salute" - it read:

This morning President Obama departed for the G20 summit in London and a week of other meetings around Europe, his first visit since last summer's epic charm offensive. As he boarded Marine One, Obama returned the salute of the marine standing guard ... we think. It also looks like Obama might just be blocking the sun's glare as he checks out Michelle's booty.

Dan Amira is the 12 year old who authored the now deleted post about First Lady Michelle Obama. The screenshot pictured here is via Huffington Post -- where a poll finds that 41% of Dan Amira's friends Huff's readers think the Daily Intel should not have deleted the post because "it was all in good fun."
