"We like to think our sister site, Cosmopolitan.com, is pretty open-minded. So when we heard they were severely offended by a pillow\u2014usually an item within our domain!\u2014we had to investigate. The pillow in question is one printed with the text &amp;quot;To Hell With BEAUTY SLEEP I want SKINNY Sleep.&amp;quot; And while I&amp;#039;m with Cosmo, in not being delighted by the sentiment here (or the design, for that matter,) I do take issue with their assertion that it is &amp;quot;the worst thing ever&amp;quot; (as they call it on their homepage.) Short of a sofa that injures those seated or it, or a high chair that forcibly takes food from babies, I find it hard to believe that a piece of furniture or home accessory could be so gravely offensive. See, I&amp;#039;ve had this issue with novelty tee-shirts, often finding myself in public places, suddenly stuck next to someone who thinks it is hilarious and charming to wear a shirt with a truly offensive slogan (most notably, I once spent 6 hours, elbow-to-elbow with a man in one of these disgusting shirts, on an airplane.) An obnoxious tee is difficult to avoid becuase those who wear it can wear it anywhere. But the beauty of the offensive pillow is this: You only have to encounter it if you find yourself in the home of someone who loves it. And we&amp;#039;re certain that Cosmo editor Alex Rees has friends with better taste than this.  Please share in the comments \u2014 is it worth getting worked up over a pillow? Or better to simply leave it to those who enjoy it?
