YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS THAT THE IMAGINARY VOICES TALK TO HER: LENA DUNHAM MOCKED FOR ASSUMING NFL STAR ODELL BECKHAM JR. SNUBBED HER ‘MARSHMALLOW’ BODY.

And the train wrecks keep piling up from this story: L.V. Anderson of Slate speculates that Beckham isn’t interested in Dunham because, “Perhaps (as the eternal rumors have it) he’s gay. Regardless, Dunham has tapped into a real phenomenon—men who really don’t know what to make of women who don’t sexually interest them—and I, for one, intend to borrow her marshmallow line the next time this happens to me.”

As Dylan Gwinn responds at NewsBusters, “In other words: this event may not have even happened the way this person relates it in this interview. But let’s not let a little thing like proof get in the way of compounding this journalistic malfeasance by implying that he’s gay.”

OK, so the imaginary voices aren’t just talking exclusively to Lena Dunham these days. Slate is the last bastion of Internet journalism owned by the Graham family, which until recently owned the Washington Post and Newsweek. Think about how far the mighty have fallen, going from Woodward and Bernstein blowing the lid off Watergate, to publishing a piece speculating that an NFL player is gay based solely on the fervid imagination of one of the most unappealing 30 year old actresses on television. That’s gotta be worth at least another Pulitzer or two alone right?
