Welcome to the hall of mirrors that is the Internet. The Daily Freeman recently wrote a story about Martha Frankel's new book, Brazilian Sexy. Frankel posted the Freeman clip on Facebook, along with a quip about being naked in her hometown paper. Some quisling among her Facebook friends flagged it, and Facebook put the kibosh on the link.

And then, just to bring everything full circle, the Freeman wrote about the whole virtual debacle. Now we've blogged it too: Bloggers blogging about newspapers writing about social media sites censoring authors blogging about newspapers reviewing their books! The mind boggles.
