It’s like when people say ‘no offense’ — you know they really are meaning to be just as offensive as possible.

Which makes me still believe the writer knew the mockery was wrong; the magazine apologized handsomely, which makes it sound a little better, but seriously? I still feel they apologized because they got their backsides handed to them.

But, yeah. If Jake is cool, then I’ll shut up.
