Carpet Muncher

You know those tedious magazines that are in every airplane you’ve ever flown in? The ones that you never remove from their confining seat pockets unless there’s some terrible Matthew Perry movie playing on your flight. These days, you may finally have a reason to reach for airline magazines if you fly Delta. Seems like some bored editorial schlep has decided to have a little fun with the in flight magazine’s selection of a picture accompanying an article on a kid’s card game.

But we don’t see what the big deal is. With gays being so trendy in media these days, we think “carpet muncher” is already in most 7 year-old’s vocabulary.
