...said your on-air personality is not that different from your regular personality. Is [host] Padma [Lakshmi] different off the air? No comment on that. (Laughs...
That's a shocking bit of understatement. The tape - which Guantánamo officials should consider as a method of nonlethal torture - was a rambling (and fake) voice-mail message that purported to invite the listener to a 21st-birthday party.

One need not unduly exert his memory to find copious examples. The Salient—Harvard’s impeccably edited premier journal of opinion—several years ago printed a parody of a Barbie-type doll marketed in the Middle East to criticize some of the more repressive policies of the region’s regimes. Unsurprisingly, many campus Muslims interpreted...
