You know the feeling you get when you come across something super gross on Twitter and it makes you do that all-over body shiver? Like stumbling upon a photo of a bikini-clad body with Hillary’s head superimposed on it?
That’s what happens when we read this sample from NYT journo David Brook’s piece on sex:

Maybe sex is one of those topics David should avoid writing about? Just sayin’.
And seriously, if we go our whole lives without ever thinking about David writing the words, ‘Girl I want your body,’ it will be too soon.
“girl i want your body.” i will never ever forget that he wrote those words.

the world is thoroughly in the grip of chaos and that’s the best he could come up with. for money.

It would appear so.
Journalism, YAY!
I am ready to go all in on the David Brooks Sex Nugget meme.

Dude, right?
Imagining David Brooks saying "Girl I want your body" is quite possibly the worst visual image my mind has ever conjured.

What, the line about sex being a gold nugget doesn’t qualify for one of the worst visuals ever conjured?

No words.
