Do you remember, back at the beginning of the year, a minor dust-up about Dame Edna Everage's advice column in the issue of Vanity Fair with Salma Hayek on the cover? Well, the magazine apologized while making the column's satirical intent clear, and that, we all thought, was that.
Not so fast. In his Spectator column today, Dame Edna's alter ego, Barry Humphries, writes that in the wake of the brouhaha, "The editor of Vanity Fair received death threats, Ms Hayek publicity and Dame Edna the sack!" Is Vanity Fair really that spineless? Probably.
