As great as I think Sedaris is...I kind of agree with you. Plus, some of his recent pieces on This American Life seemed to just be about griping about everyday living, which is really really well worn territory in the comedy world that doesn't need to be retread by a writer, even a good writer. (I'm thinking of a piece about waiting in line for coffee that I believe was on TAL...maybe that's not representative, though.)

Is it just me, or is that outfit totally impractical? 

That goes beyond impractical to the point of uncomfortable.  I think she'd be more comfortable and more protected without an outfit.

Edit: I looked at some of the rest of their updates.  It appears that half of their business model is "sell drawings and sculpts of mostly-nude large-breasted women that don't actually have anything to do with the game."  I mean, selling pinup art isn't a terrible business model, but why have the game at that point?

Oh Oh!
Can we do Dan Brown next!!

Dan Brown is a hack who doesn't know how to write prose.  This is an excellent article:
