Ah... nice little capsule illustration of the modern internet there.
I read that headline and the byline, and thought, "Well, that can't possibly be the headline that Vanity Fair used." But then I immediately amended that - in fact, it could be. Sure it's crass and awkward and notably physically impossible, but it's an attention-getter and that's really all that matters now. So I clicked it, and sure enough, that's their headline, in all its provocatively incoherent glory.
But then I got their paywall and I can't even be arsed to bypass it, so that's that.
Poetry notwithstanding, how exactly does one trip over their own asshole? Like, you're wearing stilettos and doing hurdles, and you just sorta... twist wrong?
I think you have your head so far up your own ass that your feet are in the immediate proximity of your asshole, then walk like a 77 year old white man.

Those pesky facts are always getting in the way of the agenda.

I have to give it to them, it's absurdly clever. I've never heard that one before. XD

An elephant tripping over its own prolapsed anus is not a visual I enjoy, but you do you
