The Devil Wants a New Word for "Blog"
Infamous Vogue editor Anna Wintour has demanded that her staff find her a new word for "blog", deeming it an inappropriate use of the English language. Vogue is expanding and retooling their website, and Wintour wants to launch the new word when the site relaunches.
Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs."
"Blog" must make her feel fat or something.
