I remember back when Ann Landers was pre-dead, at my first shop we had to lay out the comics with the Landers column. One of them, and the one that convinced me they were made up, was from a woman whose daughter wanted to attend a naked slumber party. A house full of naked teenage girls? Had to be a perv somewhere thinking that one up. Try writing a family-friendly headline for that one. I wanted to write, "Honestly, she just makes this crap up." But I wasn't allowed to.

Reminds me of one place I worked as news editor and was training someone to design the page we carried Ann Landers on. One day the first letter was from a woman wanting advice on how to break up with her lesbian lover. He asked me for advice, I took one look at the letter and said "Oh, and in a nice, convervative town like Podunk, too."

I would think you could easily put a conservative bent on that:

"Hooray! Woman eschews sins of premarital, gay sex"
