Babeland regrets to inform...

Columnist Joel Stein has pulled out of teaching that oral sex class at Babeland on Melrose, at the L.A. Times' insistence. The store blames "censorship" by the Times and says the paper doesn't even want its name repeated on the Babeland site. They also say Gawker stirred up the masses and got the Times editors all worried, and indeed there are some fun comments there about Stein, but Gawker was a day late to that party.
