Is it just me, or is this week's New Yorker kinda...dirty?

This week’s New Yorker includes a small “Talk of the Town” piece about some much-beloved, much-enjoyed mounds, mounds that require careful tending and attention and have been romped on with enthusiasm and vigor. Gawker pointed out that there were certain, er, associations evoked by the article (well, pointed it out only to those prurient enough to have already made that connection), and we were relieved that we were not alone in said prurience.
