We’re not quite sure why the people at Lands’ End — a catalog that sometimes makes LL Bean look like Victoria’s Secret — would ever think that its customers would want free copies of GQ magazine. The two brands don’t exactly scream synergy. This was made all the more evident this week when Lands’ End customers opened their mailboxes to find a copy of GQ featuring an oiled-up and undressed Emily Ratajkowski, topless but for a strategically placed lei, on the cover.

The NY Times has a round-up of some of the things that angry customers have been writing on the Lands’ End Facebook page.

One mom writes that her 14-year-old son was “quite disturbed & fascinated” by the magazine, which she described as having “an absolutely OBSCENE cover!!!”

Another customer who apparently likes to pile on her end punctuation asked, “I ordered Christian private school children’s uniforms from your company and you sold my home address to a magazine company that peddles in soft porn for men???”

Of course, there are numerous comments on the Facebook page defending the cover — or at least making the case that it’s not, as many others described it, pornographic.

“I hope national geographic never goes to their house!” writes one woman. “I mean JEEZ, you know the half naked people in that MIGHT just MIGHT Arouse someone.”

“Your 14 year old has seen a woman without a top on,” adds another commenter, who also cites National Geographic (am I the only one who doesn’t instantly think of Nat Geo being a flesh fest?)

Regardless of whether or not a teenage boy has seen bared breasts, Lands’ End CEO Edgar Huber issued a “my bad” to customers who were offended.

“I would like to start by extending my most sincere apologies,” he wrote, explaining that GQ was included in a partnership deal with Condé Nast to bring free issues of the publishing giant’s various magazines to customers’ attention, because “we did not want to exclude our male customers.”

But, he adds, “There are simply no excuses; this was a mistake.”

One might think that working at a fast food drive-thru window would provide some measure of protection from angry customers who want to leap over the counter and do bad things to you, but that is apparently not the case.

WDTN-TV in Dayton, OH, reports that a presumably intoxicated customer at a local Wendy’s managed to pull an unfortunate employee through the window.

The details are vague, but it sounds like the customer was in his vehicle in the drive-thru line last night but wouldn’t budge — which would defeat the whole purpose of a “drive-thru” lane.

The man then went up to the window and somehow yanked the employee through the portal and began to hit him.

And it appears that police were able to arrest the assailant because he later returned to the scene of his idiocy. He now faces assault charges.

According to WDTN, the employee received cuts and bruises but will live to serve up Baconators another day.

Bugs and food don’t mix. But would you rather see a cockroach scramble over your eggs or a fly alight for a few seconds before taking off? Though the housefly might appear less scary than a roach, a new study says we should be more worried about the former walking around on our food.

Pest-control company Orkin surveyed 300 people [PDF], with 61% responding that they’d drop their forks on seeing a cockroach at ar restaurant, while only 3% would do so at the sight of a fly, reports USA Today.

But Orkin says we shouldn’t be so complacent about those flying pests, as they’re veritable Trojan horses of yuckiness.

“Many restaurant patrons may not be aware that houseflies are twice as filthy as cockroaches,” Orkin entomologist and Technical Services Director Ron Harrison, Ph.D., said in a press release about the survey. “It’s important that everyone understands the magnitude of the health threats flies pose so that they can help prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases and bacteria.”

Orkin points out that flies carry communicable disease around on their legs and mouths, after the females lay eggs on gross stuff like rotting food, feces and roadkill.

In an instant, flies can drop those disease from their legs and the little hairs on their bodies, delivering it neatly to your table, hamburger bun or utensils.

Now if someone could just tell the flies to stop being so dang squirrelly to swat, I’d get rid of the three disease-carrying pests currently refusing to leave my kitchen.
