Comments on: Mariah Carey Asks For It http://www.artfagcity.com/2008/07/02/mariah-carey-asks-for-it/ New York art news and reviews.

Anyway, you say it's "obvious" what the "it" is, but... Mariah Carey isn't asking to be remixed, Oliver Laric is. (Her publishers probably don't encourage it.) The line only makes sense as a journalistic double entendre, with the joke being set up by the phrases "...her “come hither” gestures and the invitation “touch my body"..." that preceded the punch line. Paddy was being generous to give Olson the benefit of a doubt and say it was sloppy writing. For Olson to turn that around and accuse the rest of the world of "sloppy reading" takes a lot of chutzpah. (She could also have owned the line and told the critics to get over it.) Colin,
