I Love The Carlos Danger Name Generator

Oh, Anthony Weiner.  Your compulsion to show chicks your wiener online -- something I can relate to, by the way, I'm just not running for public office -- is the gift that keeps on giving.

Now Slate has capitalized on news of the latest woman to expose (see what I did there?) the aspiring governor of New York sending photos of his dick to her.  Some of these pictures were sent on a e-mail account for a "Carlos Danger," and writer Chris Kirk thought that nom de flash so hilarious that he concocted The Carlos Danger Name Generator.  Just type in your name and you can have your own sexting pseudonym (even though, to be technical and perfectly upfront, it's not confirmed if Anthony Weiner did sext this woman, or if he even has sexted anyone from these cock-showing scandals).

But do you know what might be the best thing about the article?  The correction at the bottom of the piece added after the original name generator was posted:
An earlier version of the Carlos Danger Name Generator suggested incorrectly that the Carlos Danger Name for Anthony Weiner is Armando Catastrophe. The Carlos Danger Name for Anthony Weiner is Carlos Danger.
So reductive!  So space-cadetish!  And yet so serious!  This has to be read with a deadpan face.  But I will say that Armando Catastrophe is a kick-ass name.

Anyone care to share his or her sexting name?

This is Marcelo Covert, signing off.
