Deep Throat? Really? You Don't Say...

Does anyone else get a kick seeing most of the major news outlets in the United States displaying the phrase ‘deep throat’ on their front pages and covers?

I mean, think about it. Am I the only one thinking this?

Um ... I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but the porn movie is where Woodward and Bernstein got the nickname.

...Or did you already know that, and you're just amused by the implicit reference to a porn movie on front pages?

Ah, yes. I am not that culturally vacuous. :)

Two friends recently went to a documentary about the porn. Unfortunately, one of the two thought that the movie was going to be on the Watergate Deep Throat. Needless to say, hilarity ensued.

Ha! That's great.

"Wow, I didn't know 'Woodward' was such a literal last name..."
