"Edgy Teacher" Apparently Goes Over the Edge

Any chance any of you had been followers of Glamour magazine's "Man Needs Date" blog? It was penned by a guy named Mike Cherico, a self-described "edgy English teacher" who is allegedly an educator somewhere in Los Angeles.

Alas, the glossy has recently canned Cherico due to an ongoing onslaught of complaints about him. See short items at Glamour and Gawker.

It always seemed odd to me that a teacher would be blogging his extremely personal details for, theoretically, anyone -- students included -- to read, but maybe that's taking a prudish view. Anyway, it doesn't matter now, I guess, with Cherico being shown the proverbial door.
